The World of Kimchi!

Ha! I have arrived in Seoul, and I am now the proud tenant of a little flat in Seoul National University with a view over the city which is pretty good at night. I am still a bit jet-lagged and feeling quite tired at the moment. I notice that my mental abilities have dropped quite a bit during this journey, which took about 24 hours. 7hrs to Dubai from Gatwick, 8 hrs in Dubai (with a free meal from Emirates), then 8 hrs to Seoul. Emirates are a great airline, by far the best that I have travelled with.

Tips for Korea

No. 1: Wear lace-free shoes. You will continually have to take your shoes off when entering rooms, which is quite a time-consuming process if you have double-knots to untangle every time!

No. 2: Bring sheets if you are not staying in a hotel. I had to borrow a blanket off a student here. Luckily, it isn't cold here.
