I've got Seoul but I'm not a Korean

Spoiler Alert: The title of my blog will be the title of my Korea photo album.

Where to begin?

The good news came to us when we arrived at LAX 3 hours prior to our take off time at 1pm, that we weren't flying until 6pm. Sweet. Thus we rejoiced in the delicacies LAX calls, food. Luckily we got 15 dollas allocated for meals on the house on behalf of Asiana. Ah, customer service/"Best Airline of 2009."

The flight was really good (praise the heavens) and the attendants were of the most attending kind--though I give most of the credit behalf on their origin (srsly, Koreans are so kind). The meals were incredible and I was able to watch about 17 movies, one which included finally, The Proposal, which I found lovely and definitely laughed aloud for about 5 minutes straight where to which my octave of laughing over powered and conquered the air vents and baby crying. A delight either way.

Upon arrival to Seoul, Korea, we quickly learn that we actually took a wrong turn to Delayed Nation and are being kept in the ever mysterious country of Korea. The next flight out? About 16 hrs later. (I would go into detail about how my mother reacted and how if Seoul airport workers could make laws for their country, their bill would propose to "Ban Carol Kim Johnson from the land of anti-loud and angry clients." Plus, it will be more entertaining if I tell in person. Haha. Oh boy#bloodpressure.

With such inconvenience we were put up in a siiick resort, which had a kitchen and three bedrooms and a living room and a korean operated touch screen system which ended up keeping me up most of the night due to its remarkable language barrier feature. Here's a pic I found online of the place (ones I took are not uploaded, YET)

Pretty much an unreal ocean view (I keep rhyming throughout my blog & I don't mean to) but I have to admit, a girl can get used to waking up to such a thing. Bed at 1:30, then woke up to what seemed about 15 minutes later at 7am for a complimentary buffet breakfast (which I have to say, if you've had Kimchi before, you haven't, because I don't know many people who've been to Korea!--it's tayyy-steee here). Then we filled our day with a walk around the industrialized part of town/went to graze the sandy water and then the most precious agenda item was upon us. My 1 hr nap.

Anyways, I'm currently back at my what seems to be the Twilight Zone, sitting patiently for our flight out to Ho Chi Minh City which takes off in a little less than 2hrs. Hooray! Should be a pretty standard not too long flight. With this set back we have had time to talk about the places we are going to eat, and places we want to visit and places to play some racquet ball, so we are pretty much amped and placed out.

Already learning though that I have accustomed myself entirely to traveling solo. Ironically, this is an adjustment and learning experience, but I feel this whole trip is exactly that.

Thanks for sticking out this long entry and for the prayers. Keep em coming (especially how I think I might have seen a handsome Asian man or two. Schnikies) ...

Best,

Traveling Tracy
