ALmost there

Finally in Seoul Korea...after 1 hour flight to LA...2 hour layover...then 13 hour flight......Surprising i didn't stick out as much as i thought in the sea of Asians.....maybe cause i couldn't understand if they were talking about me...lol..... I didn't have the window seat as American Express corp travel assured me everyday i called, but the ticket agent gave me an isle seat, in the last row of the plane, which was great, as I was close to the bathroom and the kitchen, and even had extra room to stretch out and put my bags...

The tv screens in the headrest for the seat in fron t of me, showed the path the plane was flying, the places it was passing, the hours to get to my destination, the current time at my destination, and the current time from my place of departure.... so i spent 13 hours watching that instead of regular tv...actually, when i wasn't sleeping or doing my puzzle.....The only names that rung a bell was Tokoyo and the Pacific Ocean... everything else was greek to me...

FOr dinner, I had my choice of somethiing beef and something else...I choose beef...Turns out itw as Bi-Bim-Bab,....looked like ground beef surrounded by shreddded carrots, thinly sliced look like cucumbers, some chinese looking shoots and another vegetable. THe package has a tube of pepper paste, and another package of oil. The instructions were to mix the paste and oil with the meat and vegetable, and then mix in the white steamed rice.... It tasted ok, but i just couldn't get over the taste of cold meat with warm rice... Thank God I had some bun and cheese and fruits in my bag....

Breakfast was another adventure, but i took the safe way out and opted for omelette and not spicy octopus... WIth the omelette, i had ham, hashbrown, lowfat yogurt (i see they got the weight watcher meal plan), fruits and tea.... not bad...But i did finish off the other 1/2 of the bun and cheese with it....

Must say i love the stewardess uniform.... tan skirt suits, with floral scarf, tan pantihose, shoes...they all wear the same shoes, and everyone's hair is pulled back in one...in a neat bun....Everyone looked so uniformed.....and loved that they spoke English so well.....

Just called mom and Kelsea on the magic jack....connection breaking up...so i guess i will give it a rest for now... It's now 7 am and the designer stores about to open up...so mi gone check out COach, Burberry, Louis, and whatever else them have.... fi kill the next 2.5 hours......
