On my way...Seoul Korea

I have arrived in Korea after a terrible last night in Brisbane. Between my mum snoring and the night works on the highway just outside the window I didn't get a wink of sleep. Which probably made my flight all the more enjoyable as I slept almost the whole way! There were no personal TV's and all the movies were in Korean so not much to keep me entertained! Sleeping pills are definately the best thing since sliced bread. Speaking of food, I've never eaten so much within a 24 hr period. Had 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches and a dinner and will get fed twice more before I get to Paris - too much food, but there really is nothing else to do on an airoplane!

I was a bit apprehensive about my stopover in Seoul, especially when I saw where we would be staying...


But it was really nice inside, all the people on my flight all got executive suits on one of the top floors. I've already met a few young travellers, mostly all going to live/work in the UK and who also flew out of Brisbane. It was so nice to hear about what other people are doing and also to hera they ahd the same fears as me :)
Some other photos of Korea...
So foggy - yuck! The netted thing is actually a golf course.

Wedding anyone?? The whole building was dedicated to weddings - dresses, cakes and included a reception area and a garden at the back

2 weeks to go!

It’s exactly 2 weeks until I leave for Paris – scary! I finish work in 3 days time and then have about 10 days to get everything in order before the big day... so much to do, so little time! I have something on pretty much every day until I leave, some of those are really nice like going out for dinner with the girls, sharing my last weekend with the boy in Brisbane – boohoo :( and getting my hair and nails done :) so I shouldn’t really complain too much.

I had my farewell on Friday night and two of my dear friends got me the most awesome journal, what was even more awesome was the inscription inside it, have a look at the photo – isn’t it so sweet, I’m pretty sure I cried when I read it... I’m hoping this blog will serve the same purpose.



Speaking of crying, I’m getting more and more emotional as the time goes by. One minute I’m ecstatic about going to live in gay Paree and the next I’m really low about leaving my family & friends and then there’s the OMG feeling I’m moving to a country where I do not know anyone, with very little money and where I can barely speak the language – what the hell am I doing!!!!! By far this is the worst because it’s based on logic and therefore can’t be dismissed as just being emotional! Ah well it will be a challenging adventure!

Au revoir et bonne chance!
