Blogs are boring if the author has written loads. I know it, and you know it. Read some short and sweet posts full of the (un)essential experiences of my time in Seoul.

First couple days

Hopped on the plane, only half full which meant I got a full row to myself - arm rests up, lie down and lets have a cheeky sleep. Got given some Korean food on the plane. Didn't know what to do with this pot of water with things floating in it, so I didn't do anything. A theme that I think may continue.

Arrived a little later than expected due to a MOTHER LOVING TYPHOON. What are the chances. Got picked up from the airport by a couple I know back in 'da Stow' (Chepstow) who got me from the station to a restaurant where I met my host family: a Mother, father, and 2 boys ( 9 and 12, although thats not true because Koreans do the age thing differently and are actually 1 - 2 years younger. That also means I'm 24, say what). Pretty much didn't sleep that night as it was so so hot. Even without a duvet or anything. Rough.

Played Mario and Sonic at the London Olympics for the wii with the littlest kid. He had verbal diarrhoea as he splurged out the instructions in Korean. I had no idea what was going on, but I still think I beat him. Later on I thought it was appropriate to introduce him to the Notorious BIG, the boy has gotta learn. Not sure he was too impressed, but it'll come. Also cracked on the 'Ali G finger whip' (what is this called?). They'd never seen that before, and it is fair to say they were loving it.
