Fragrance Overload and South Korea
South Korea was fabulous. We acquired some closely discounted flights with Australia’s primarily home funds airline JetStar, which we affectionately name ShitStar. It’s no frills however the workers are good, lack of leg room is offset by wonderful costs and we’re not flying snobs. The meals is fairly bizarre however we at all times take our personal, sandwiches, snacks and so forth. I additionally carry an empty 2ltr plastic bottle by way of customs and get it stuffed within the lounge. It means I’m not annoying the hostess greater than essential and I’m capable of hydrate all the best way.
We had two of our girlfriends be part of us for five nights of our 8. TinaG is an outdated hand travelling with us and a brand new adventurer Kerri. TBH I’m at all times screwed up tighter when now we have journey visitors and should always remind myself it’s a vacation. Each the ladies had some minor well being points and we navigated these very well. Jin is bloody wonderful as an itinerary planner and information. With out him the wheels would have fallen off the bus innumerable occasions. He’s additionally one of the best balm to any irritation, with out being afraid of confrontation.

They’re fastidiously clear and cozy. The women LOVED them. Every room was larger than their residences.
There might have been consuming, consuming and sight seeing included.

Then we headed again as much as Seoul, the Insadong district. It was once the run down purple mild district and has been gentrified out of all semblance of itself within the final 10 years. Nonetheless barely seedy it’s dwelling to Homosexual City, Meals, Golf equipment and the laneways that are filled with actually cool excessive finish retail, meals, classic clothes and desserts galore.
