The view from my hotel room in Myeongdong, Seoul

Chinggis Khan International Airport

At the nomad camp in Mongolia, I spotted small rodents darting in and out of burrows. After some research, I believe they were Tarbagan marmots.

Seoul is quite different from the Mongolian steppe.

Time for the next leg of my journey to #DebConf24

As I waved goodbye to Mongolia, my passport received a fresh stamp from Chinggis Khaan Airport—commemorating yet another adventure in the land of Genghis Khan.

Next stop? South Korea! Upon arrival, the usual stamp was replaced with a sleek entry confirmation sticker, a futuristic touch that piqued my curiosity. I'm looking forward to exploring what the future holds here!

After spending twelve hours at the nomad camp, I headed back to the airport for my flight to Seoul. I always choose a window seat and luck was on my side again—I managed to spot the nomad camp from the air as we ascended.

While planning my trip to a #Debconf24 in Korea, I discovered an affordable flight via Mongolia. This presented a chance to visit a place I'd never imagined seeing. While there is only one daily flight from Europe to Mongolia, there are multiple flights from there to Seoul, giving me flexibility. I chose the schedule with the longest layover to maximize my time in Mongolia. Arriving at 5 AM, I had until 8:30 PM before my onward journey to Seoul, giving me a full day to explore.

I've arrived in Mongolia, and I've got my passport stamp.

Mongolia, here I come!

Back at Frankfurt airport. Today I'm flying to Seoul with MIAT, a Mongolian airline. I've got a fifteen hour layover in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. My hold bag is checked all the wait to Seoul.
