    Seoul, South Korea

    Oct 8–9 in South Korea ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F

    I arrived in Seoul for 20 hour layover after a 13 hour flight - it wasn’t as bad as it sounds. I got here it around 2am in my head, but 6pm local - so checked into a “capsule room” to sleep off my jet lag some. It was located right outside the airport and just basically a bed with a communal bathroom down the hall.

    It amazes me how the food (from American restaurants) is so much better here than home. I had a drink at Starbucks and it was SO much tastier, fresher, etc. and they offer just so much more than they offer us as well. See the pic from Baskin & Robbin’s!

    There are robots rolling around the airport. You can stop them, type in where you want to go, and they’ll lead you there!! I don’t know how happy he “looks” tho. 😂

    Just here for the layover so now waiting to catch my next flight … China here I come!!

  • And I’m off!!

    October 7 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F

    I started my adventure!!

    I flew from Seattle to Seoul, South Korea today. A grueling 12-13 hours in the air. Painful but worth it!! Interesting that probably 7/8ths of the 265 people on board were all Asian. I didn’t expect that big of a majority right out of the gates - let the cultural adjustment begin.Read more
