EPTHi everyone!
I'm Grumpy a 27-y/o psychologist from Frankfurt, Germany. After my final exams last year I was wondering, what I could do with 4 months spare time. When I asked everyone in a TL-Thread what they would do in my situation responses went from "learn an instrument", "go pro in SC2", "get stoned forever" or simply: "Travel!"
Due to pneumonia I wasn't able to do any of the above. And the rest of the time I acutally worked, which was a bad idea. And now, before I will start to work in Frankfurt in September, I will visit the 2 countries I wanted to see since I was 15: Korea and the United States.
The idea is to meet as many people and TLers as possible and have a great time. I will update this thread regularly and write about my experiences. The schedule and things I want to see is still subject to change.
If anyone wants to meet:
It would be great to meet some of you guys, especially in Seoul and hang out with you guys. Is there a foreigner-meeting scheduled for SC2-games or at Yaletown?
If anyone has a couch to offer or is member of AirBNB shoot me a message.
If anyone wants to meet, take a tour or simply have a good time talking to a german TLer, I'd be very happy to meet you :o)
