Yet again I have to go through the tedious process of acquiring a new visa evertime I change employers. The most convenient way would have been to get one while I was still in Seoul. Unfortunately for some bizarre reason the Indian Embassy in Seoul only accepts employment visa applications for Korean nationals. This left [...] Basahin pa

Yet again my blog remains fairly quite. Truth is I was busy packing all my things in preparation for my departure from Seoul. I leave Korea with mixed feelings, just like any other place there are things that I will miss such as high speed internet, food, my friends, the four seasons and high speed [...] Basahin pa

The iPod touch has a default application or app called Maps. I’ve always considered this application a novelty for us who live outside North America, Europe or even Australia as no street level data or maps were provided with it.

The Xperia X1 runs Windows Mobile 6, unfortunately the language cannot be changed unless you flash the ROMs. A task that isn’t easy although there are a  lot of resources on the net should [...] Basahin pa

I’ve noticed that a lot of people stand in the crowded exits of Incheon International Airport waiting for their loved ones or passengers  up to emerge from customs clearance.  I  on the other hand set a pre-arranged meeting place for my family or people I pick up at the airport.
