RIGHT ABOUT NOW, THE FUNK SEOUL BROTHER
After a mad week of deadlines and crunchy smog, I am off to South Korea for the next four (4) days. Specifically, I’m be in and around Seoul.
Which, oddly, always makes me think of this song.
The good news is that, for once, it’s not for business purposes. It’s an honest-to-god vacation. Which is cool – it’s been six years since my last trip to Korea and eight since I’ve been to Seoul in particular. It’ll be nice to go kick around and see some stuff and eat some food.
Oh, and this time I’m going to the DMZ.
So if you see any news stories about another American reporter busted in North Korea for “crossing” the border illegally ... well, you know, put in a word for me at the embassy.
I'm hoping there's a bowling alley there. Bowling is pretty popular in Korea. And if I can manage a blog headline like "I went bowling in the DMZ", that could be my ticket to a guest spot on BoingBoing.
Anyway, I won’t be taking my laptop and I’m not likely to be blogging from the hotel business center apart from the occassional FB update, so you won’t be hearing from me again until next week.
Signing off.
Sold my Seoul to rock’n’roll,
