After a night of drinking to celebrate the evening before Jim’s birthday or simply relaxing at the guesthouse, everyone had to be up, awake and ready to go to the Lotus Lantern International Meditation Center for our two day temple stay. After a spot of difficulty in finding the right bus stop, followed by a […]
The day started early. At 8 AM we had to be suited up and gathered to embark on the bus that would bring us to the company Green Power. This company develops technology for wireless charging of electric vehicles (EV’s) and wireless power transfer for industrial applications. We were lucky to have a private bus […]
This morning we left Busan and headed to Seoul, with a stop in the city of Daejeon. I will spare you the description of the four hour bus drive, in which almost everyone slept anyway. The interesting part of the day started with the excursion to KAIST, the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. […]
The day started as usual. Some people arguing on how to prepare noodles, some discussing their Tinder matches and some talking about the events that happened the night before. It was clearly visible that some people had a short night and some still had problems getting used to the Korean food, but that could not […]
Today we gathered in front of the hostel at around 10 AM. This was later than the previous days, but for most people it didn’t quite feel like sleeping in. Some went out drinking beer and soju until late and were either still partially drunk or dealing with a hangover, whereas others were still recovering […]

Today, a new chapter of our journey begins. After two weeks in Russia we finally arrived in South Korea. After a short night in which we skipped a few hours we got our first impressions of this new chapter. The major part of this was determined by the airport. We landed at Seoul Incheon airport. […]
Today began rather early for some of us. If I recall correctly, I remember someone coming home at 4 AM and waking everybody whilst he was getting into bed. Nonetheless, the alarms were set at 7 AM in order to have enough time to get the bags ready. This meant that we went from a […]
Today started a bit gloomy. Outside it was raining and today was the day we were visiting the Kremlin, but soon the weather started to clear and there was sunshine again. We all departed to get to the metro station Biblioteka Imeni Lenina. After getting there and walking to the Kremlin we had to wait […]
After a day of visiting tourist attractions and relaxing, it was time to visit the Moscow Power Engineering Institute and Skoltech. But before we left, I woke up due to the singing of my fellow Thor members for Roel’s birthday! After this, we suited up and went to the metro to go to the Power […]
