How good is the internet

Korea is reputed to have the best internet in the world.

So we decided to test that.

And it passed the test. Returning to our hotel after a big day sightseeing Terry got angsty when he realised it had clocked over 6:50 local time, meaning it was 7:50 Melbourne time and the Tigers had kicked off at the MCG. So out popped his iPhone and internet access via a hotspot device. Unfortunately the Telstra AFL livestream does not operate overseas, despite Gil assuring us ours is a globally expanding game (let’s not talk about the Saints in Shanghai). Telstra and the AFL having failed, Terry connected to the good old ABC (big shout to Ita today to for calling out AFP bullying) and up popped commentary from Kellie Underwood. Huzzah. So there we were, driving in a car in Korea listening to the AFL. How the world is connected now. A far cry from Tom and I visiting Australia House in London in 1985 to read the Australian newspapers so we could catch up with what was happening at home.

And now for some random photos.
