Provided that my rogue lymphocytes do not decide that now is the best time to start eating away a new part of my brain between now and then, I am gonna land in Incheon on July 5 around noon. It still feels like a big leap of faith that the trip will actually happen, but I guess that's my life now. I have even a doctor's note that I can travel, the insurance company wanted it, so I should be able, right? It's gonna be fun flying with my syringes, but I have already done it on a short hop, so it should be ok.
Anyway, I'll be in Busan from July 12 for a conference and somewhere around Korea before it. I have Czech friends in Seoul, so I can stay with them, which is convenient. I don't presume any of the few people of TL I have made vague online acquaintances with will be hanging around Korea at the same time, but if someone does, I'd be happy to meet people.
However the key question is: will there be any SC (prefferably SC2) to watch live during that time? I am a little sad that I haven't been able to visit Korea during the golden era of Proleague - I would never think that it will end so suddenly; that's yet another lesson in not postponing things in your life ...

That's cool. If there was SSL season 2 and GSL ST at once, that would be the dream

The 2nd Super Tournament is in Autumn, but I think the 3rd season of Code S starts the day you land in Korea. Also don't forget, for SSL (if it's on at that time) you need to buy tickets to watch Premier now! Have fun in Korea man.

Fucking hell lifes not fair. I don't think any kind of condolences I could offer would be of any comfort to you. But I offer them all the same. If there was any way at all possible for you to get better I wish it upon you.
I'll be in Korea around that time but haven't finalised my plans I will most likely be in Geoje when you are in Busan. If I can I'd love to buy you a beer or have a meal together or something it's only an hour on the bus. I don't really fully understand your condition and what you will be capable of and can and can't do and I'm travelling with my girlfriend and visiting tonnes of friends from when I used to live in Korea so it may not be possible to meet up. I'm not really planning to go up to Seoul or watch any Stacraft but you will probablly meet people there anyway. I'm more of a Broodwar fan anyway.
I like your attitude telling people to live life when they can is so right. For three years of my life I couldn't walk properly and was stuck basically in a wheel chair with no real explanation from doctors. It was meant to be a minor condition that clears up in 6 weeks but it just hung around forever for me. I feel into a huge depression been stuck living with my parents in my thirties and unable to walk. I feel quite embaresed by it now because as shit as it was I could have got out more in the wheelchair and volunteered at local schools and given back something to the community. The fact that I just fell in to depression and decided I wasn't capable of anything disgust me a little now. But I don't think it's to uncommon reaction. Everyone should make the most of their life, it is so precious. Please don't start thinking or asking about why. There is no why and there's no solace to come from thinking down that road. Make the most of everything you can do. Do everything you can still do whilst you can.
Eventually excalty what the doctors said would happen to me did happen and my leg cleared up and I was fine with seemingly no explanation why it took 3 years for me instead of 6 weeks like it's meant to. I won't ever complain of life been unfair on me again. I feel so lucky to have my health again and have been wasting stupid amounts of my salary travelling around China just because I can and I want to go to new places and see new things as much as possible after been trapped at home for so long.
I'll have a toast for you even if I don't manage to buy you a beer. 건배
edit: If you haven't been to Busan before I recommend going to 광안리 Gwangalli. Beautiful beach and the bars are right on the beach instead of been behind the luxury hotels and apartments like at 해운대 Haeundae beach. There are some very reasonably priced establishments hidden in with the more expensive ones in Gwangalli and the 찜질방 Jjimjilbang's cost nothing to stay in.

Thanks for the positive words - while I am not very happy with my MS, I am at least still functional and many people are much worse off than myself ... the main bugger is really the uncertainty about what's gonna happen next and it is particularly annoying when making any travel plans. I'd be happy to meet you somewhere in Korea, if the opportunity arises. I'll probably pretty much online most of the time to arrange.

Bump? :p
I had no idea people think about me so much I have already reported in another blog the successful GSL infiltration. Here in Busan, I have managed to have dinner with Greg_J and his girlfriend - he is a BW fan so he educated me about the significance of the Gwangalli beach, where we went for said dinner, for the history of esports
