Finally back at home after one of the most exciting weeks of my life. This entry will most likely be more disjointed than normal as I’ve been awake for something in the order of 23 hours.

I went from Inchon to Narita on a 777 and it had the little monitor in the head rest. What a great way to fly… you can play games, listen to music and watch TV. It gave you real time flight information and the coolest thing was an exterior camera that pointed forward on the ground and then down to the ground once in the air. No such feature on the Narita to Vancouver flight.

To add to the enjoyment of the Narita to Vancouver flight, I dumped (accidentally) a glass of beer in my lap during dinner. “Great, only six and a half hours to go…”

I noticed some striking differences between Seoul and Vancouver. There was almost no graffiti to be seen and I saw exactly one beggar in Seoul. Just one guy with no legs sitting at a train station.

I was outside of the International Arrivals in Vancouver for about three minutes before I was asked for change. I thought the guy was asking for directions or something as he looked a bit rough but not grimy. I looked like hell and reeked of beer so who was I to judge?

I told him to go to hell and didn’t feel bad about it. It would seem that everyone works in Seoul; everyone is trying to sell something or provide some sort of service. Why not here? Why does everyone expect something for nothing?

Anyway, as much as I loved my time there, I’m happy to be home. I don’t think I could live there as it’s not all that English friendly but I’d visit again in a second. I want to spend some time in Tokyo as well so I guess I need to start saving soon. Maybe I should find a job or something…

I’ll consider that later on. Right now I’m fighting my body which is screaming at me to go to bed. *must stay awake*
