Prologue
Last year I spent a month going around the world, covering a safari in Africa, an iceberg cruise in Svalbard, live octopus in Busan and (the scariest of all) poutine in Ottawa. I’d been planning to top it this year with a two-month RTW that would take in various obscure Pacific islands, but due to time and finance constraints this seems imprudent at the moment… so I decided to fly almost all the way around the world and back instead. Twice.
SIN-BKK-ICN-LAX-ICN-BKK-SIN-FRA-LHR-LTN-LJU-CDG-BRU-STN-HEL-STN-LHR-YOW-YUL-YQB-LHR-SIN
Total 42562 miles, at a cost of approximately 25% of what I paid for my 28984-mile CRWSTAR1 last year.
To be covered in this thread is the first half:
- SIN-BKK on Tiger Airways (TR)
- BKK-ICN on Asiana (OZ)
- ICN-LAX on Asiana (OZ)
- and back, with a 5-day loop through South Korea (Seoul-Cheonan-Suanbo-Danyang-Guinsa-Seoul) on the way
And the trip starts tomorrow!
