Alright, I'll do this quickly since I'm really tired and it's been a long day.
Woke up at 3:30am, took a shower, ate some soup, drank a coffee and finished packing my stuff up. Left home at around 4:50am to walk to the train station to get to the airport.

Get to the train station at around 5:20am, catch the train to the airport. Do all the check-in and all that boring stuff, and meet up with kjwcj. Unfortunately our flight was delayed by around half an hour. Bought myself a digital camera which I'm probably never going to use (as I have my phone on me), but I'll probably take it for events like OSL/PL.

Flight was good. Korean Air stewardesses are god tier. Food was blegh, but I made up for it by watching Flash-Fantasy on my iPad (Bigfile MSL Semi's).

Got to Korea about 5:30. fuck it was humid and sticky. Took about half an hour to get through customs/immigration and another 40 minutes to get to where I'll be staying by taxi. Took another 10 minutes to even find the place because our driver sucked.

After unpacking, we decided to skip going to Yongsan for the SC2 Dual Tournament games, as it was pretty late, to meet up with MrHoon and have dinner. How ironic that the first meal we have in Korea is... Japanese.

[image loading]

We go into this place. A fact I did not know about Korea, pretty much every restaurant allows smoking indoors. As someone who lives in Australia (and smoking is banned indoors), this was a surprise to me, but it didn't bother me. We ordered sake, Kirin, sashimi and good old AMERICAN fries.

[image loading]
[i]despite me wanting the fries the waiter gave it to kjwcj, typical[i]

Got home at around 1am, went to the Family Mart, bought some Shin Ramen and Pocari Sweat, while kjwcj got peach tea, kimchi ramen and super super cheap cigarettes. A dollar for 1.25L of Pocari Sweat is a bargain in my book.

[image loading]

Now it's 2am, and I should head off to bed, I have a big day tomorrow with Proleague and OSL semi's.

Not bad, looks a little small for two people :o
How much are you guys paying?
Looking forward to pics and some FvF coverage.

LIVING THE DREAM!

It's awesome that you finally made it out there. If I could make a suggestion about videos tho... Set that thing up on a tripod or a stack of books or something so that your face isn't taking up the whole screen and the thing isn't shaking wildly.

Have fun~ I wish I could be in Korea for the last OSL.

Good stuff. I will be keeping an-eye-out for your next contribution.

Tip: never go into a big restaurant in Korea. They're expensive and probably shitty as fuck compared to the alleyway places.

If you need help, ask a taxi driver to take you to a good place (maybe you might have to be more specific with the food, like for instance Jeonju is the originator of bibimbap and stuffs so you want to ask them for that if you were in Jeonju) and they will.
