I got a similar question, though mine was "what did you do in Korea?"

On AS109 about to take off... last segment of this epic adventure! And my upgrade cleared ^

Thanks again to all who helped organize TYO and SEL.

I believe everything is still in the planning phase. I don't even know the dates yet! But the Korea portion of the Do will very likely start in Busan and end up in Seoul.

A big thanks to nme7 for a fantastic post-do.
I really enjoyed Seoul more than I imagined I would and it's all thanks to you, the events and dinners you organised and the great company provided by other Flyertalkers.

Thanks to nme7 & all the FTers both here and Tokyo that made both DOs a great time.

Was delayed by OZ enroute back to the US via NRT but given they surprised me with a seat in the pointy end rather than the cheap seat I bought, I guess all is forgiven.

Hope to see y'all sooner rather than later

Thanks nme7 and NewbieRunner for making both DOs wonderful and it was great meeting everyone. Continuing my vacation in Macau where I got upgraded in a massive suite at the Sofitel Ponte 16.

See you at a future DO.

Thanks nme7 and NewbieRunner for the great dos in both Tokyo and Seoul. It was great meeting all of you. Still struggling with jetlag here in NYC, but really enjoyed visiting both cities...

Four words: No more soju. Ever.

Thanks to that we spent most of our Monday at the Veep's home away from home (GH Seoul).

First off, I agree with you! but at least I made it to breakfast! and then struggled my way through the day until I went back to the Conrad for a nap.

For the good memories (or lack there of)!

Sorry to bring up this old thread, but for those of us who went to the DMZ, looks like they really do not mess around:
