Month: September 2008

Very interesting (for me), but my friend thinks it’s b.o.r.i.n.g 🙁

2008-09-20 Korean Trip 32, originally uploaded by Stephen Hucker.

Well, I have arrived safely in Korea.
It’s good to see the old familiar sights again.
This picture is the view from my friends apartment where I am staying at the moment.

Got to Melbourne Airport early and went through Customs and ticketing in a few minutes. I was really suprised.

I knew it was too good to be true.

Our flight to Hong Kong had engine problems, so it left an hour and a half late.
Result –> missed the connecting flight to Seoul from Hong Kong.

So rather then arrive in Seoul at 9:10 p.m KST, it will now be 4:20 a.m KST Saturday 🙁

View of North Ulsan near the airport. The suburb where I lived in is on the hill in the background.
The base of the mountain on which I was riding was about 12km from my home.  To get to the top of the mountain, you had to climb 7km at inclines of up to 10% 🙁
This photo was taken about half way up.

This  is the sort of terrain I will have to navigate in Korea during my cycle tour.
