Hangul

The “Oh god, I’m going overseas and haven’t packed anything yet” monologue has a long history on this site and, as I glance across at the unsorted piles of clothes and notes spread across my floor, I can’t see that changing anytime soon.

So, in short, I’m heading to Korea for a week that will be predominately be spent traveling around by myself. I have no idea what exactly I’m going to do. I have no expectations and I have few plans. All I know is a have a cheap ticket on a slow boat and only one must see: the legendary break-dancing border guards of the DMZ between the South and the North.

Can I learn Korean in the 13 hours on the boat? We shall soon see.
