Missing home.....

We are apart for a couple of weeks, and I have to tell you, it's hard going!
I used to be away from home for several as part of one of my previous jobs on technical support, but was always back after a mx of one week. I found that difficult at the best of times.

Sue is in the UK, visiting her family, while I am in Austria on a training and conference routine. The worst part of it is having to be in a hotel at the weekend - It's not nice, even if there is something to do, or somewhere to visit, it's not with my beloved!

The only good thing to do here is to go shopping. I know, I said previously that my ppet hate is to go shopping, but in Korea, there are certain things you CANNOT get that are easily available in European countries. I name XL clothing as one particular item, or items. The Koreans are small people, by that I mean they might be abloe to dodge the VAT on clothing if they ever decided to shop in the UK, as no VAT is payable on childrens clothes. The majority of Koreans are all stick-thin, and could fit in kid's clothes. Hence, the presence of XL sized clothing is rare, unless you live near to a US airbase. Other items of interest, are food items. These as simple staples in the UK products like vinegar, brown sauce and gravy granules! Sure, they have vinegar in Korea, but it's a weak variety, that they like to drink! They also have brown sauce, but it looks nothing like, or tastes like the good old British variety. Oh well, guess the case may be a few kilo's overweight for the trip back home. I am going to look for a European food site on the Interweb that will deliver to Korea and hope they dont kill me on the delivery charges.

Did I mention that we're in Korea? Ahhhhh..... I guess that's what might be the problem is then!
