Haze in Singapore June 2013

-
The month of June & July 2013 was the dry season in Southeast Asia region. With the burning of farmland in Indonesia (Sumatra), Singapore faced a haze that was very high in the PSI Index of between 100-380. The PSI index was recorded at the highest of 371 in June 2013. The air was choking and the smell was bad. Mrupupup faced uncomfortable days out in the open. One could walk a few steps and would be hit by the bad air which caused eyes to tear and choking cough to occur occasionally. Hope the rains come to Singapore to cool the air and bring relief.

Mrupupup went to Seoul, South Korea. It was a great trip. I loved Seoul after since the K-wave swept through our TV screens. Many things to see in South Korea. Here goes the trip day 1. Landed in Seoul transit via Kuala Lumpur. The airport in Seoul is pretty clean place. You can check out the eating place 'Food on Air' that serves decent Korean food at good prices. Go to the basement level of the arrival hall of the airport. The basement food court of Incheon Airport served a nice set of dumplings and bibimbap for late breakfast or lunch. Pretty nice and hot food after a long flight.
