Bad weather in Busan! All flights cancelled until 3:40pm. This means I will only arrive in Gimpo at 4:40pm, and no way I can catch my flight back to Singapore from Incheon at 4:15pm. Trapped and panic, I took the 3hrs train from Busan to Seoul, then 1 more hour to Seoul to Incheon. Arrived […]

I remember looking at the confused look at the audience and wanted to dig a hole right there. (I did much better on my IPv6 presentation which went very smoothly) Anyway, as I mention, […]
