Greetings from Seoul. I got stranded here since my flight to Busan got cancelled because of bad weather. Another competitior from London had the same problem, so we are spending the night here in a suite in a nice hotel. But somemuch needed practice time has been lost.
However, the food made more than up for it. I just came back from the restaurant realizing I had eaten chicken feet and actually liked it. Not so much the chicken heart though. We had to take our shoes off and sat on the floor. Real fun.
Tomorrow we hope to arrive in Tongyeong, in the South of Korea and hopefully the weather will be better. They are supposed to have an amazing temple there and I hope to visit it before the competition starts. I just found out sonatas have to be by heart, so I have still a lot to do.
Talk to you tomorrow!
Greetings, Carla
