Oh also - some Starbucks have these fun Korean passports where you can collect stamps at the featured stores. It’s free.

I used to use these a lot in San Diego on the car2go scheme. I really liked the electric ForTwo. I also parked all of these here together to earn some drive time credit when they wanted the fleet moved around :) I also owned a 450 Brabus for a while in England.

I used to take my Impreza out on runways too :) here in Abingdon England.

I’ve been in London this evening helping to teach a workshop showing folks how to use @grafana.bsky.social to build real time tube status and departure boards. Let’s celebrate with some pictures of actual boards from Kings Cross St Pancras.

Here’s a new bimode EMR train. It’s in diesel mode in Nottingham of course as they will never electrify the midland mainline properly. Photo taken while waiting for the current generation diesels to take me to St Pancras.

I didn’t realize you were in NZ before. I used to live on the Kapiti Coast and had this for fun drives and autocross.

Happy birthday Roy, let’s get the bigger boat this year?

Visited Namsan Mountain and the N Seoul Tower while in Korea. Some pics.

Had a ride home on another Korean 77W. Prestige class, lounge at ICN was nice but lack of priority security is strange.

I have some more pics to post later but for now it’s time to head home from Seoul.

Found in Seoul at a mall yesterday. @rhcmuts.bsky.social

Bonus pic - met a cat at the Namsan Mountain Park this evening.

Found a nice book!

The older trains on the Seoul metro line 2 (circle) still have these nice physical maps of where the train is. They remind me of the one you have @katebevan.com

Had a look around the library in Gangnam as it’s quite a destination location itself. Found this illustrated C++ book.

Visited Gangnam last night.

It’s that time of year when you might be thinking of storing summer cars. My MX-5 used to get used for more of the year than you might think in Washington DC & could carry its own winter wheel set (4th in the boot). Until snow got really heavy I commuted in it with no hard top.

Off to visit Gangnam by metro train shortly.

I’ve been collecting Seoul Metro reusable tickets as they have fun designs that will make nice souvenirs. You do get a small cash deposit refund for returning them to a ticket machine if you don’t want them.

Went #geocaching around Seoul by the river. Wanted to do more of these but it got quite cold and hands were freezing. Currently sat with hot coffee.

Korean feral cats at the World Cup stadium park and also a warning about snakes!

Visited the Oil Tank cultural center in Seoul’s World Cup stadium park.

I once saw this guy doing his “flat earth research”. The rocket killed him a few days later.

Who knew there was a Randy’s Donuts in Seoul?!? The second pic is from one of my many visits to the original Inglewood CA one.
