Landed safe and sound!

It’s 5:35 am in Incheon South Korea. My plane landed early and safely. My luggage was here as well. It was a very long but sleepy flight. The attendant brings 2 meals during the 11 hour flight. The first one was a choice of Bibimbab or steak. I’m an American. Of course I chose Bibimbab! Later I found out that there was a possibilty that the meat was octopus. Funny, it tasted a lot like chicken livers.  What do I know. Other wise, there was a variety of vegetables and rice and chili paste to mix in and spice it up. 

I really liked it as I was hungry.

I sat next to a Chinese man and his 2 year old daughter.  She was a beauty and her daddy was the nicest daddy I have ever met. After he let her play for awhile, she had some milk and he got up from his seat, which then allowed her 2 seats to stretch out and get a good nights rest. Can you imagine, that man stood and and sometimes crouched down by her all night as she slept like princess. Finally I saw him after about 7 hours, pick up her feet and sit under them.  He really doted on her as though she was the most important person on the planet. 

By the way, she woke up later and was playing with her I pad that had English language learning software. She was learning to count, say the names of animals and vegetables. She also had a Winnie the Pooh book that she was talking to me about in English. Her father spoke both languages fluently and she was learning them both also at the age of 2.  I was very impressed!

Just about 2 hours before we arrived in Incheon they brought the second meal. It was a simple cheese omelet with a muffin, fruit, yogurt and juice. I was hungry and it seemed like a good idea to eat before landing since the airport would be very slow and not many shops open. 

But as you can imagine Micky D’s was open and that’s I spent my first Korean buck. I paid 2000 KRW for an Americano coffee. I sit here wired already sipping it as I write. 

There’s 2 more hours before I meet my recruiter and take the shuttle to Jeonju University for the orientation. Here’ goes! 

OMG I just noticed that my computer is speaking Korean and writing in Hangul!
