Hi Kate and Graeme,
I can't believe how quickly the time has approached. I will follow your blogs with great interest. Mike just got back from Seoul if you have a layover. He can give you a few tips. I'm sure your research will pay off and make your stay less confusing. And then, after a busy schedule in Beijing, a wonderful regrouping time in Phuket! I'm forwarding your blog to lots of friends since I know it will be so interesting...the REAL insider's story (if you're not censored). I'll call before your departure.
Love to you both,
Auntie Pookie

Hey Graeme & Kate!
One question - do the medals say "Made in China" on them?
