Yea, I heard about that. The main turn off was the fact that summer is the WORST time to travel in Korea. It's so bad that even the city-folk living there flee the cities and head out to the country because the smog is so bad.
I'm planning to travel either in Fall, which might be impossible, or next Spring, which is definitely impossible.
You guys will remember my family & I went on a holiday recently... excellent accomodation at a really good price. We just found out that the company we booked through has gone into liquidation, and a whole heap of people got caught. Now they are out of pocket and without accomodation :( I can't believe how lucky we were!

Looks like you dodged a bullet there! Timing is everything. But, if you had ended up losing your money, you could have just sent Anime Son over to burn the place down!! :angry:

Unbelievably sad. I felt so bad for him that with all the people that showed up there was no one he felt he could really talk too.
Heartbreaking.
~May you find peace now, Edd.~
I'm so sorry about your friend's passing. It's so sad that there wasn't anyone he felt he could talk to.....
I am freeeeeeeeeee tonight!
My Japanese teacher had to cancel our weekly class so instead of studying Kanjis, I'm off to the shopping centre! Viva freedom :woot:

That happened to my Grandma last year. She didn't realize the travel agency had disappeared until the day of her flight when she was told at the ticket counter that she had no ticket and wasn't on the list of passengers. :sweat:
