Wendy Choi in Seoul
Had a nice long ,, Saturday lunch, with Wendy, at one of my favourite Italian restaurant in Seoul, owned by my friend Antonio and Rodolfo from Italy ,,
This is my summary ,,,
She fondly remembers many of you ,, Colebatch to lovely two English ladies, Shannon? An Irish and another woman ,, also the one who has borrowed money from her to buy a flight back home ,, yet to pay ,, she still likes you as you send Christmas cards,,,
In short , she will be charging USD 100 for inbound as well as outbound from here on ,, ,,, understand she has charged something like 50 bucks? Some times nada?
For the 9th largest economy, in the world,, it doesn't even cover a taxi fare from one end of Seoul to another ,,,,
I also showed her how to arrange passenger on a freighter with bikes,, as she gets many enquiries ,,
She also knows about Wallenius Wilhemsen line now ,, ro-ro service to and from USA and Europe vis a vis,, no packing ,, my own freight forwarder charged me bloody USD 350 ,, since it was first time a bike was shipped out of Inchon to Long Beach,, I told Wendy to charge USD 150 ,, she says she will start with USD 100 for now ,,, how much it cost for our lunch today.
So folks ,, you have a reliable source here in Korea ,, Wendy Choi ,, and after I come back from my around the world trip ,, I will be here for you ,, call any time,,
As we travel sometimes we become jaded,, lets not ,, , let us not ,, become jaded,,,let us stay kosher and meet every new trip as if it was the very first one ,,
Thanks all ,,
