So the flight was long but it's hard to get around that when you're flying to the other side of the planet. Contrary to what I believed would happen and consistent with my short history of international travel I didn't sleep much on the plane. I'm estimating about 6 hours of sleep between Saturday morning until now. But I did watch: The Social Network, Tangled, Easy A (I regret watching this), Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking: Time Travel, and another movie or two my mind isn't recalling. One weird thing I noticed was that the movies were preceded by a short Korean Air commercial (in case you forgot what airline you're on?) that featured quite a bit of Japanese art... which is odd.
When I arrived at the Incheon airport I was pretty happy just looking out the windows and when I eventually made it through immigration and customs I was picked up by Yoon-seo. Korean drivers are kind of crazy... I probably won't bother with an international driver's license... and I'll have to be careful on the sidewalks too, scooters can be found driving on them.
We went from the airport to the office where about 3 consecutive elevator loads led to handshakes (two hands and a short bow to show respect) and when I eventually reached the office I went out to dinner at a Chinese-Korean fusion place across the street. The waitress felt sorry for me and gave me a fork... which I didn't use out of pride. Then a pair of wooden chopsticks, which I reluctantly used to replace the smooth more formal chopsticks. Defeat by noodle.
Anyway, everyone's cool. I guess there was some excitement about seeing a new face around.
