By the way, I'm flying from Seoul to Brussels tomorrow to attend FOSDEM 2026. It's my first trip to Europe, so I'm both excited and nervous.

I just looked up what kind of plugs they use in Belgium and Germany. Luckily, it looks like they use Type F “Schuko” plugs, the same kind we use in South Korea!

@hongminhee Hi! I would love to meet you!

@hongminhee I’ve been in Korea for the first time last Dezember. Such a lovely place… I miss the food a lot and functional public transport a lot.. 😅

Re Europe: yes, we are very open and very direct. We are respectful but sometimes pretty blunt, especially when it comes to “who messed up?”. Yes, we are very quick to assign blame at the cost of inducing shame. Don’t take it personal and remember it goes both ways.

Recognizing things are different def helped me calibrate my compass on my travel

@catilac@infosec.exchange Are you attending FOSDEM too? We could hang out there then!

@cryptix@social.coop Thanks for the advice for a first-time traveller to Europe!
