June 5: Seoul, Korea Airport

Hi everyone,
Right now I'm at Seoul, Korea for a transfer point to go to Malaysia. I'll be here for about 12 hours :-(...10 now. This is THE BEST transfer airport EVER!...except that they're not open yet because it's 5am here. But they have a rest and relax room, a massage room, wireless internet, other computers with internet, a news/movie room, etc. Also, the escalators don't just run. They sense you pass and then they start up...crazy huh?

I'm a little nervous about traveling alone, so hopefully I see James in Malaysia soon, but so far so good. This airport is nice. I was thinking about leaving the airport and exploring because I have 10 hours to kill but I don't know how far I could walk away from the airport and I'm scared of problems with getting back in, so I think I'll just roam around here and use its fascinating facilities and ammenities. Once I get to Kuala Lumpur, I have to spend the night there because I get there at 10pm-ish and the next flight out to Penang (the island James is on) doesn't leave til 6:55am. SO SO MUCH TIME AT THE AIRPORT.

My laptop doesn't fit the plugs here, so I'll probably switch to the computers soon.

English is definitely a privilege to speak...for some reason, everyone has to learn it as its the international language or something, and when I speak English to people whose native language is obviously something else, they still know a little English, enough to converse with me, so it makes it easier to get around. Flight attendants, other passengers, etc.

Ok that's all. I'm alive and well...and hungry, so I will eat the food my Mommy packed for me. K I'll keep you all posted!
