And off to Korea.
630am flight, just a bit too early.
5 hour flight to vancouver, surprised to see the personal touchscreens on the domestic flight, guess it depends on the plane? meh. Watched Yes Man and Benjamin Button. Yes Man was pretty good. Button was not bad either, altho i slept through the middle of it and woke up half-way through………
Visited the Olympic Store and grabbed some lunch. Dropped Karen off, since her flight to Seoul is a day later, and chilled at the gate after roaming through duty-free shops.
Next up, 11 hour flight to Incheon airport. yikes. Wasn’t exactly comfortabble, but we survived. People have got to learn how to use the touchscreen tho :@ stop stabbing the back of my head already, frak… other than that, explored the selection of movies and shows. Found Nurse.Fighter.Boy that carlos told me about, although i never got around to watching it….
Drifted in and out of sleep, but didnt really get much in the end because I was so damn tired when we landed. Right away, they took our temperature because being let into the main area. This area then led to a shuttle bringing us from the gates to the main building.
Ashley’s uncle met us at the exit and we went off to find our place in Seoul. The air quality is a bit worse than Toronto, and we were able to see the smog over the city when we drove in. And the driving, hooooly shit. crazy. very aggressive. I’m totally freaked out to drive out in Jeju… we’ll see T_T. Lots of cars, narrow lanes, swerrrrving. A couple awesome things in the car was the speed indicator, telling you when you go over and beeping like crazy. and the actual car, sensors on the outside beeping more and more when going closer to an object.
Unloaded at our rental condo, 4th floor, 2 washrooms, kitchenette, master bedroom, 2ndary bedroom, balcony, pretty spacious for a temp place, of course it wasnt meant for such a short-term stay. Went over to ashley’s uncle’s place for a home-cooked meal. Was really good and soo damn filling. She and her brother haven’t been back in almost 7 years so her smallest cousin doesn’t even remember them! She’ll be busy for a couple days during dinner to catch-up with her several relatives around town. A lot of them didn’t even know she was coming over.
Brought back blankets and mats to sleep on (since we dont have beds) and shopped a little in the convenience store for water and snacks. Apparently i was lucky and grabbed two adapters from Stine instead of just one because I need both for it to work T_T… Went out for a stroll around 9pm and a lot of the small stores were still open. It’s too bad we dont really know the small greeting phrases cause we had almost no clue what they were saying to us as we entered and left :D… its nice that we didnt get lost.
and then i pass out while the others are on the computer.
Finishing up my meal at Ashley’s Uncle’s house, yumm… majisoooo…
