Back a month or so ago, I told you all that I would be updating of the first edition of the LUXE Guide Seoul.
Well, it’s finished and out! This Friday I arrived at work to find five newly pressed babies on my desk.
Working on the guide was exhilarating and simultaneously tiring. After all this I’ll think twice before cursing out my lonely planet for a wrong direction or phone number. My job was to walk through the shopping itineraries (half the guide) and double check that shops still existed, or were worth shopping in, and that phone numbers and directions were correct. Since LUXE doesn’t include maps, noting lefts and rights, around the bends and up over the hills are essential. Everything had to be correct. Which usually translated to me walking and re-walking the routes making sure I had it all down. At one point I resorted to taping the walk with my camera.
But blood, sweat and tears, wait. That’s not very luxe like. I’ll start again.
But martinis, manicures and suede loafers, it’s finished. Ready for you or anyone you know traveling to Seoul in need of a little luxury.
Seeing your name in print never gets old. They added the luscious part.
