Off to Korea!

It’s travel time again! As usual I was in “computer-work-mode” before I set off and wasn’t wanting to set off, but once I did it’s all very exciting. It’s my 3rd trip to Korea ( 2nd this year!), but I hadn’t been to Seoul Station before ( great food and very friendly people), and now…
