Seoul Sista: Dispatch from South Korea

January 14th 2009 02:42
After a fragrant plane trip and a high speed taxi ride, I am now in Seoul. Thus far I have nibbled on a peanut sandwich, been given home-made soap by a kind host and set up my internet connection. I'm here for 5 weeks. I start work at the Australian Embassy day after tomorrow and then I will work in a paper, the JoongAng Daily which is part of the International Herald Tribune.

I am here with two other girls; three Australians navigating this infinitely fascinating and numbingly cold city, scavenging news stories and adjusting to a place where the English is sparse and the eye contact is sparser.


Armed with a laptop and a camera, I will feed you snippets of my experience here as I go. Stay tuned for some embarrassing fumbles with Korean language, some encounters with unfamiliar customs and cuisines, some fantastic characters and above all MY KOREAN ADVENTURE.

Peace out
Adventuretoes,
Kate Leaver
