Almost There... In Seoul, S. Korea

Well. The first leg of the trip is out of the way. The 14 hour and 41 minute direct flight from Seoul. I had been dreading this flight, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Watched a couple of movies on the Korean air video on demand system, started reading a book, and slept for a little bit. Luckily, the row of four seats only had two of us so we had room to spread out. Guy sitting next to me was on his way home to Bangladesh after spending time in the US on a church mission trip. Here are some interesting facts about Bangladesh that he shared. It is the size of Iowa and has 150 million people and is the most densely populated country in the world. As long as the flight was, I could have listened to the entire history of Bangladesh.

I am sitting here with a 3 hour layover before hopping a 5 hour flight to Bangkok. This is the hardest part as I am just ready to be there and get settled in. It is 7pm here on Saturday. Probably about 5 in the morning back home. That feels weird. A day or two and I will be right on schedule. I arrive in to Bangkok at close to midnight and plan to head right to sleep.

Things will get more interesting.

    Good to see you made it to Seoul. I was thinking earlier that I worked the entire afternoon yesterday, spent the evening doing stuff around the house, went to bed, woke up at 7 and you had only been in Seoul for a couple of hours or so. And you still had 5 hours to go. That's some serious messed up.

    Oh, and don't listen to Debbie. Just be a normal American and eat nothing but McDonald's and KFC while you're over there. Your trip will be so much more rewarding that way.
