The plan is to publish a post per day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jonas and I will meet up in Seoul, touring the city until we leave for the campsite and attend the Jamboree. Afterward, we head out to Singapore for a few days before he is heading home while I&#8217;m continuing to Jakarta, Indonesia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever since I got accepted to go to the 25th WSJ I&#8217;ve been planning for what kind of gear I need in the heat and high humidity. Instructions are to basically leave clothes made out of cotton at home. Replace the sleeping bag with just a sheet. Bring a hat and lots of sunscreen. Do I need any long pants? How do I keep the electronics dry? Mosquitos? Shoes? The questions are many. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scouterna.se\/wsj23-sydkorea\/\">The Swedish Contingent<\/a> has weekly published a <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/2QOTjZhpGZBnZ2A9nxsNEm\">podcast<\/a> addressing a lot of the different aspects which has been most helpful. Most of the gear I have since previous trips but I&#8217;ve bought some new stuff to increase the chances that I have a decent stay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there is the travel before and after. Though it should be much easier since I&#8217;ll be staying in large cities Seoul ~10M, Singapore ~5M, Jakarta ~10M. But it&#8217;s nice to have a plan of what to do while there. Especially if it&#8217;s something you need to book in advance. At least all flights and hotels are booked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now back to continue planning, and counting the days until departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\uc77d\uc5b4 \uc8fc\uc154\uc11c \uac10\uc0ac\ud569\ub2c8\ub2e4!<br \/>(Thank you for reading!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In just 32 days my journey to South Korea and Asia begins.
