Well, I am in Korea waiting for my flight to Thailand. Five lay-over hours down, one to go. And I'm exhausted. I should be in Thailand in about 7-8 hours.

I've met some really cool people with whom I wish I had a way to keep in touch. I was lucky enough to sit next to a very interesting lady during our long flight (14 hours). She was Hispanic-American, but lived in Vietnam. I enjoyed my visit with her very much.

Right after we boarded our long flight, an announcement came saying that drinks would soon be served and lunch would follow. I had been planning on going to sleep as soon as I got on the plane because I was really tired, Lily and I both were. But I was very hungry so I waited for lunch. I learned that on a plane that size when they say lunch will begin soon you may not actually eat for another three hours. We didn't have a time piece, but I think it was somewhere between two and three hours before we got our food. Our lunch choices were "Hello, today we have choice of beef or Korean" something-something "rice." Lily and I both picked rice and got a "Bimbibap" bowl which was... well... neither of us ate it. There was also seaweed soup which tasted, in my opinion, like dirty creek water. The fruit cup was good at least... The lady sitting next to me chose the American meal. So she had beef, broccoli, potatoes, salad and a roll with butter while we stared at our rice with some kind of strange sauce (I think the taste we couldn't stand was rice wine) and strange vegetables. So for dinner (yes, it was a two meal flight), we vowed to try the American meal.

The Korean airport is huge, though not crowded at all. Here and there they have 'traditional Korean art centers' where you can go and make paper crafts. Lily and I did an engraving (stamped one on paper, anyway), tried on traditional Korean clothing, and painted a fan (the last of which we spent, I think, three hours doing).

It still hadn't hit me yet that I'm in and am going to a foreign country. Everything here seems really familiar. Looking out the window, I wouldn't know I wasn't in America.

I'm very tired of traveling. I'm ready to get to Thailand, get a good nights sleep, and then wake up to meet all of those precious babies.
