By the way, I'm flying from Seoul to Brussels tomorrow to attend FOSDEM 2026.

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.

Just arrived in Abu Dhabi. First time in the Middle East.

The Coca-Cola I bought at Abu Dhabi Airport tastes... slightly different from the ones I used to drink in Korea.

@hongminhee safe travels!
Looking forward to your talk btw

@hongminhee Some Coke are made with cane sugar while others are with corn syrup. Might that be the cause of the difference?

@zundan@mastodon.zunda.ninja Yeah, maybe? This Coca-Cola had a bit more of a tangy taste.
