Long time, no talk. Before I start with my current location Bondi Beach, Australia, let me give you a short wrap up of what happened the last few days in Korea. After leaving Gurye in the southwest of Korea, I took a bus to Busan, Korea's second largest city. Busan is a major port city in the southeast with a population of about 3.6 mil. This being my first visit to Busan, I was pleasantly surprised by the relaxed vibe of this city, a positive change from the hustling and bustling of megapolis Seoul. If you would ask me, I would actually prefer to live in Busan vs. Seoul. I only stayed for a day to head back to Seoul the next day with the high speed train (a TGV derivative) covering the 400KM in less than 3h.
I spend the last week in Korea meeting some people which I know from back Hamburg and playing with Noah, the 3 year old son of Seong Hun Hyoeng. I was kind of glad to finally get going to Sydney on the 24th of June. It was nice to spend some time in Korea for sure, especially since I ventured out into

parts of the country which I hadn't seen before, but then again it seemed all kind of familiar derivatives of the Korea which I had gotten to know during the past years on my business trips.
