Cruise ships are famous, or perhaps notorious, for their food - copious amounts are on offer day and night. There are so many options, it’s hard to choose. You can simply show up at the buffet for three meals a day, plus tea time, snack time, etc. Or you can choose to put on something slightly dressier than shorts and flip flops and go to the dining room, where you will be shown to your table by a formal waiter. A starched white napkin will be spread over your lap for you, and you will be handed a two page menu - a new one each day.

High Tech Toilets in Seoul

High Tech Toilets in Seoul

In response to an invitation to speak at international schools across Asia, I set off on a long trip. My first stop is Seoul, South Korea.

As always, I set my watch for Seoul time right away as my plane departs. If it’s early morning when I arrive, I try to sleep, or at least doze, on the plane. If I get in late at night, I try to stay awake. And taking my No-Jetlag pills helps me to adapt to the time change quickly.
