A Weekend of Fire Pots,Bongs and Gangnam Style?

2 11 2012

Procrastination has enslaved me. I still haven’t posted those entries that I promised in my last post. Tonight, I am off to Seoul and therefore won’t be able to post anything this weekend as well. So I am posting a quick update before I leave.

The temperature has plummeted significantly over the last week and sweaters have become essential. Being the (mis)adventurers we are, we have still planned a trip to the DMZ over this cold wet weekend (temperatures close to zero degrees C expected).  We have booked tickets for the 2122hrs KTX to Seoul tonight. We plan to spend the night at Siloam Fire Pot Sauna (Jiljimbang). Tomorrow morning at 8 we start our morning tour of DMZ from USO Camp Kim. Once we are back in the afternoon we plan to check into the  Bong House. We still haven’t planned what we will do after that – go to Gangnam and do some style maybe?

In other news, Sandy blew the roof off my cousin’s apartment in Boston. And cricket fever has gripped me as the domestic seasons around the world have kicked off this week and mouth-watering test series (Ind v Eng, Aus v SA) are about to start in the next. By the way is anyone else following the Ranji Series Opening Day?

Next week, I promise to write those posts and prove that procrastination is my bitch.

Sanba and Chuseok

Quick update on whats been going on:
– It rained throughout the weekend, so we were pretty much at home all the time.
– On Monday, Typhoon Sanba paid us a visit. Really strong winds and rain. Office was open during the typhoon (Koreans don’t have a HSE policy I guess), so we had to go out.
– On Tuesday, tried the Indian/Pakistani restaurant -Shalimar- 10 min walk from the apartment. Terrible food.

What is going to happen?
– We finally booked our train tickets to Seoul for the long Chuseok weekend. Taking the KTX – economy outgoing, first class on our way back.
– Still need to book the hotel! Hopefully we get a decent hotel for that busy weekend, or we might have to end up staying in some shady love motel.
