So I just landed in Korea and everything went very smoothly. The flight took 12 hours and I was able to read a little of my book, work on some of my masters homework, and watch 4 movies. Singapore Airlines was very nice and eventhough I was in economy class I recieved 3 meals, unlimited drinks, and my very own entertainment center with movies, tv shows, and even video games.
The first thing I noticed after landing is that I was much bigger than everyone and everything is designed for a shorter type of person. A very close second realization is that the Korean culture is always in a hurry. After getting through customs I visited the currency exchange to get some
Korean Won. After handing over 100 precious American dollars the lady behind the glass handed me a pile of green bills that look like play money, a handful of coins, and of course a friendly Korean smile.
I am now waiting for Seth to emerge from the crowd of unfamiliar faces to lead me on an adventure of a lifetime.

Korea + 1 hour
