Greetings from . . . the 2010 World Design Capital!
No idea where I am? Okay, I’m in . . . Seoul, South Korea! Why, you ask? Well, I’ve had an idea brewing in my head for the longest time and I decided it was time to do something about it. I don’t want to say too much right now because I personally hate it when people hype something and then nothing comes of it. So for now, let me just say I’m here doing some preliminary research and if it pans out, you’ll be the first to know!
Aside from my research , I’ll be eating, shopping and taking in a lot of contemporary art, design and architecture. As I said, Seoul has been designated the World Design Capital for 2010 and the place is really buzzing with creativity.
I’m looking forward to showing you around!                  Â
