gobbledonk Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Eastern States of Oz - most of us below about Bundy are currently freezing our nuts off. Snow in Orange, Guyra has a range of 2-8 deg C : hardly Siberia, but you folk from the Northern Hemisphere are built to take this crap : weenies like me cant handle it. Yeah, I know - that last week long cold snap in BKK was really rough, right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanddawg1 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Thanks Gob, yes we are! :content: I'm in LOS played golf yesterday 29 deg C Stay warm down there! WHOOF S1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpharlap Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Yes, my missus felt sorry for me so she is sending me off to Korea for a month to enjoy the onset of summer over there (and to prepare for my long stay over there - to learn Korean) ... oh yeah, I added a 10 day sojourn to LOS on the way over ... you are absolutely right Gobbles, no need to stay here and soak up the chill (especially when I can get the NRL footy online, very cheaply, these days) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 I have some really bad news for you, OPL : the Korean Summer is notoriously humid. I hope you like sleeping in puddles of your own sweat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpharlap Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Yes, thanks for the tip, I have heard that already, extremely hot and freezing cold, they just have 2-3 months of great weather ... but I am sure the hotels I will stay at will have a/c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I was working in Pohang one summer and it was hot! After work, go down to the beach/ocean, munch the fresh cooked seafoods and a cold beer...life was good!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpharlap Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Thanks Cav, I will surely do so I have penciled in a 10 day LOS acclimatisation period before the Land of the Morning Calm experience. Will do Seoul, Busan and Jeju Island, so it should be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave32 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Ahn Nyung Ah Say-oh. You should also stop by the Mid-Wilshire district of Los Angeles (where I live, also known here as K-town, home to more Koreans than any other city in the world with the exception of Seoul Korea). I love Korean food most of all. The plethora of side dishes, the variations of Kimchi, and the spices. Tis a beautiful thing. And they kinda remind of the Irish in that their free time seems to be split between bars and churches. Have a good trip Oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpharlap Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Thanks Dave, it should be a good trip, have no idea about the pay for play scene, but in any event, I will try for the normal scene, as I intend to come back to learn the language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
