On April 2nd 2023 I was landing in South Korea for a night layover on my way to Japan

I met with my Korean friends for a BBQ. It was fantastic

The only thing I do not recommend is drinking upon landing, the jet lag takes longer to go away for me when I do

This was a Kindergarten near #seoul in #korea it is been torn down because there are not enough kids any more. Since my first visit to Korea over 10years ago the effects of the lowest #birthrate world wide have become more and more visable in everyday life.
Its really heartbreaking.
