... has just started too, so it;s not too intimidating. She's comically called Me-Young (phonetic spelling). I'm just waiting for her sisters Me-Too-Young and Me-Love-You-Long-Time to start!<br><br>All in all it's been a good couple of weeks. things are settling down now and I'm getting used to Korea and it's quirks - I've opened up my bank acount now and got the cashcard and PIN over the counter on the day, so no waiting ten days for the PIN and then another five for the card ...

... to have come and found out that that's what it was. For an observatory, I would have at least thought it'd be open at night or something, but nope, it was purely for show during the day. It was still quite impressive that Korea had the scientific know how back then to be able to do that (actually, they do seem a rather advanced civilisation with quite a strong emphasis in science). <br><br>Having been a bit disappointed, we made our way to the ...

... for exploring the sights for the day was impossible since the rental shops did not give out bikes on rainy days. We were glad that they didn't afterwards since the rain increased gradually that day and the experience on the bike wouldn't have been very pleasant on hindsight. We took a local bus instead to get to Bulguksa Temple. By the time we arrived the rain was quite heavy, so our first action was to buy us an umbrella to get ...

... the word 'clap' and ask her to name the it. It's childish, and some might say cruel, but it's fun and a harmless way for me to one over on the kids without them bursting into tears!<br><br>So this weekend I went up to Seoul to visit my friend Emma and attend a free Asian Music festiavl. Some of the biggest K-pop bands were performing, namely Big Bang and Girls Generation. An amazing experience that ...

... essayant d'etre plus fort...<br>Nous avons aussi pu randonner au sud de la ville dans la chaine du mont Namsan, dont la 1re partie etait remplie de Coreens habilles des pieds a la tete de vetements haute-montagne. Mais une fois passe le somment a 468m, tout etait beaucoup plus calme, et les sentiers n'etaient plus des escaliers bien encadres, mais des jolis chemins dans les collines arides...

... with heaps of shops, and a small stream that goes along it. This place looks amazing at night! So I saw the city.. stopped for dinner at this nice restaurant and had saschimi (a famous Korean fish dish) which was very tasty! Pohang was a really nice place to visit.. it seemed a lot cleaner than anywhere I've ever been! This place was something else. So I stayed the night in this nice hotel, then caught the train the next day back to Seoul!

... for godt. Jeg valgte ogsaa at undlade at smage paa nogle af dem. Igen sad vi paa gulvet og spiste, men der var heldigvis en tynd pude. Det sidste punkt paa programmet var en tur til Yangdong mener jeg det hed. Her var mange af husene med straatag, men ikke samme type som vi kender. Det var heller ikke saerlig store. Vi besogte to damer, som Kjeld og Karin kender. Desvaerre var den ene ikke hjemme. Det var den ande ...

... vahan tylsalta kun ei meille oikeen tapahdu mitaan ihan kummallista vaikka paljon katellaankin ymparillemme. Sori vaan. :) N Howdy in English too :) Gyeongju, been there seen it. Small town with lively centre which we found accidently when returning from the park. The main attractions are the royal tombs. They're like sleight hills if they would be capped with snow. See the pics and you know what I mean. We took ...

... of the cheap RTW fares from there, but the civil unrest put that idea to rest, as CX canceled flights to Colombo. The next cheapest, reasonable option was Tokyo, so we will fly there, via Taipei with Cathay Pacific (CX) to collect some extra miles.

... it. She pretty much called them and told them to come pick up the poor foreigners waiting in the sun! About 15 minutes later a van showed up and took us out to the caves. We were met by a nice man who proceeded to be a tour guide for the rest of the day! He has worked at the caves for about 20 years and so he was very helpful. We rode a boat into the caves and then walked around for a bit. It was pretty strange... almost no amethyst these days but lots of ...
