Hello hot stuffs! I made it safely but let me tell you, I have stories! I'm not going to go to deep into them but here's a taste...
On the flight from Minneapolis to Tokyo I sat next to a Japanese girl around Brittany's age. She didn't speak too much English but smiles and gestures go a long way. Well about 2.5 hours into the flight homegirl has a seizure. I put my arms around her and just held while the flight attendants found a doctor. No, I didn't leave her side and sat next to her during the flight. The flight attendants really appreciated me making sure she was okay so they gave me lots of white wine aka business class goodness. They also had me sign up for the skymiles program and gave me 1000 miles. Not bad.
So I arrive in Seoul on time at 9:45pm but only have until 10:30 to make it through customs, immigration, and claim my baggage. So yeah, didn't make it in time. After talking to the info desk lady and missing all buses and trains going into the city, it looked like I was going to be staying the night in on a bench which at that point sounded really nice. But I ended up catching a late bus at 1:20am to take me to a bus station in central Seoul which was a 5km drive to the hotel. Once the bus dropped me off I took a taxi to the hotel and thus thanked my lucky stars that I arrived safely at 3am. But I did wake up my roommate in the process which was a good thing because I didn't know how to operates the lighting...fun times lol. She is really nice and on the same sleeping schedule that I am. We fell asleep around 4:30 and awoke at 9:30 am.
Now I'm off to forage for rice and eggs. Already had rice three times yesterday!
