Oh look - you can catch a train to Pyongyang - that's news to me.

Imagine touring North Korea... the countryside is somewhat breathtaking - in terms of the natural landscape. But I must admit, however, that one would be lucky if he/she makes exits the country unscarred.

The Demilitarised Zone - the zone between South and North Korea. It's supposedly a taunting place. On the other side of the fence, you can see this humongous North Korean flag. It's a very, very hostile area. Foreigners are allowed to tour North Korea and the DMZ - however, restrictions...

Also, if there were very hostile relations with the two states, like that of China and Taiwan, I don't really think that either governments would allow for direct travel between countries.

Nope, sorry, I'm not Korean - I'm of Chinese heritage. I've visited Korea, myself - in certain areas, it is, indeed, a frightening place to be in - esp. Itaewon with army patrolmen wandering up and down the street. On your trip to Korea, if you do visit the DMZ, please post pictures here, I'd...

Umm... lost in translation, I'm afraid. I refer to this link. If you have a look at the title, my point is made, and if you scroll down, people do use the call signs of airlines as a short form for the entire name of the airline.

No, no - in terms of nowadays, the two countries are very much alike. Obviously, South Korea is continually trying to achieve a stately rank like that of Japan. However, keep in mind that a few years (decades) ago, the prospect of 'made in Japan' products wasn't really good; it's the equivalent...

For an individual who has just entered the Aviation field, is the starting salary something like 90K?

The UAI requirement is fine, however, it's the costs associated with it and whether a Bachelor in Aviation will do you much good, in terms of your career prospects. I just skimmed through the thread - is it true that the training costs will be HECS (it's not HECS anymore) deferrable?

I do Mathematics, of which I assume is advanced. Thanks for your help, but the advent of the HSC has indeed arrived for me.

Well I dunno... if everything fails and my UAI is simply not acceptable, I'll either sit the HSC again or become a flight attendant :uhoh:

A lot of people consider Japan and South Korea 'sister' countries. Having been to both, I'll be frank and say that Japan is far more interesting than that of Korea.

But it's a Uni course - wouldn't it be three or so years? lol I'll have to keep my options open - probably will end up having a stupid career - like being a teacher

I'd love to join Qantas' Cadetship program - only problem is that I'm a NSW resident, and the Universities that are associated with the program are in VIC and QLD. QF have released a video on careers being a pilot with Qantas - here. Imagine being a pilot... being able to sail the skies...

Umm okay... take a look here, please.

KE have ordered A380s - however, I've little knowledge of the first KE A380 and its inaugural flight.

lol - In five minutes, I think I'd only have washed my hair, let alone a proper shower.

Someone needs a Mac.

lol well I'm of Asian ethnicity, even though I'd prefer it if we all considered each other Australian. Believe it or not, you've probably seen me ramble about this, but I loathe Maths. That's right, I'm of Asian ethnicity and HATE HATE HATE Maths! I love English :), even though my results are...

Have a look at the Emirates First Class ensuite here It's something new... apparently, each first class passenger has available to them five minutes of water use only, and 25 minutes total in the bathroom.
