Happy New Year everyone and thanks to all our readers. If you haven’t checked out our Facebook or Twitter feeds, we also post small bits of news and useful information there too.

- Andy moved back to Korea after three years abroad and is happy to be near the action again
- We became Korea correspondants for the International Rail Journal, a leading publication in the rail industry for nearly 60 years
- Nikola investigated the poorly designed new bicycle crossings in central Seoul which were consequently covered in local news
- We gave a lecture at the Seoul Real Estate Investment Meetup and Royal Asiatic Society Korea Branch among many other activities (radio interviews, documentary interviews etc.)
