Me ‘flying the flag’ in Ulsan (or at least sticking it in the top of our ‘mast’ at the whale embassy.) Nice to go for a bit of a climb, it’s been a while!

Wow, it seems in Korea, there are no sim cards – phones have them built in – so there’s no prepaid stuff. Apparently mobile to mobile calls here are about $0.03/minute which is pretty damn cheap – pretty onto it tech-wise – all the houses have broadband, and they’re allegedly upgrading to provide 100 megabit…

We’re surrounded by rubble, with petrochemical plants and incinerators and really nice stuff like that everywhere we can see. Having just arrived, I’m still not entirely sure why…

Take a look, maybe you can help us fund our gardening addiction, and get some quality seeds germinating at your…

“Eostre is a somewhat obselete Western/Northern European goddess. She is a form of the Sumerian/Babylonian/Phonecian fertility goddess, Innana/Ishtar/Astarte (a very thorough wu is at Ishtar).
