Travel Analog and Light to Seoul

9 hours from now I'll be on my way to Seoul to source more quality Korean stationery for the stores.  KOTRA (Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency) is sponsoring air tickets and accommodation for about a thousand people from all over the world to Seoul this week to meet potential suppliers.  Initially they didn't have a good list of suppliers suitable for us, but they are kind enough to help dig out some of the manufacturers I listed out.  I will be able to meet these suppliers finally whom didn't respond to me even though I sent them numerous emails, they are probably shy to converse in English or not familiar to do international trade.  I'm so glad my company allows me to stay two more days other than this event to look around and see some nice stores.

Travel Gear: Field Notes, F1 and Perfect Pencil

Two days of store visits and two days of full-day meetings.  I decided to travel light with just two cameras, a broken point and shoot digital IXUS and a Canon F1.  Field Notes will be my pocket notebook this time.  I'm be carrying two Field Notes and a Faber Castell perfect pencil inside a Moleskine leather case by Gfellers.  I'm expecting a rewarding trip critical for the next 6 months.  Thanks to KOTRA.
