A pause in a long day


This Korean keyboard is just differently-shaped enough to throw off my typing. I'm here in Seoul, safe and sound and counting down the hours (seven of them) until my departure for Ho Chi Minh City. The flight over was unremarkable, and once we landed any memories of it quickly faded.

We landed in Incheon and, denied a complementary hotel room, took a comfortable express train to Seoul. The city is huge - ten million people. Of course with our limited time we could only see a tiny fraction of it, but it was enough to make us both want more. We spent two hours or so walking around the environs of the train station, and saw the endless alleyways of the Namdaemun night market as it was closing up shop. The airline food was tasty and plentiful, so we stopped only to buy coffee and sample some soju before coming back to the eerily deserted airport.

Next stop: Vietnam!


In San Francisco before departure.
