I second the no more carrying heavy shit motion.

Nova, hence forth refered to as Noba and i (hence forth refered to as see-mon) are in korea.

We arrived on planet korea late thurdsay night. Planet korea is sort of like earth except it's really cold and far from the sun, and the inhabitents write with a weird alien script.
The airport limosine (really a bus) dropped us at a place called myongdong.
We then lugged our stuff a few hundred metres down hill till we realised there was no way we would be able to find a place to while carting our whole collection of bags with us. So i stood guard in the -6 degree night air while Noba went and found somewhere to stay.
We spent our first couple of nights in a very comfortable "love motel" (lob motel) watching korean tv, enjoying the warmth of heated floors and learning to read korean script. I can already sound out all the korean characters (theres only 20 of them) but i dont know what the words mean obvioulsly.
This morning we got a cab over to itewan, which is the kingscross equivalent of seoul. We have checked into a dodgy little motel (yoog-wan) for a week while we get our bearings and work out what we're doing on planet korea.
