Flying Seoul-o

My trip to Seoul was probably the easiest plane ride(s) I've ever experienced. Ever.

My first flight was from Honolulu International Airport to Fukuoka International Airport via Hawaiian Airlines on a Boeing 767. If you aren't familiar with airplane models and their comfortability, the Boeing 767 economy class seats are very uncomfortable. 

However, it turned out to be an awesome flight because I ran into this person:

Aunty Carol from New Hope was one of the flight attendants on board! She blessed me with an entire row to myself. I was able to sleep sideways during the flight, and thus, was able to enjoy a nice 7 hour nap during a 10.5 hour flight.

Fukuoka International Airport was nicer than I expected (better than HNL). Airport staff on behalf of Korean Airlines ran a security check as soon as all the transfer-to-Seoul passengers got off. It seemed pointless as the staff barely skimmed through our bags. I probably could have smuggled in some mangoes and cans of Spam without even breaking a sweat.

On the flight to Incheon from Fukuoka on Korean Airlines' Airbus A330-300, I was able to meet Dr. Schauer, a bassist on his way to Korea to teach English at Namseoul University. He shared many of his experiences in Korea as a foreigner and gave me tips and pointers to stick by during my time abroad. It was a great pleasure meeting him!

More on Incheon and my journey to the hostel soon...
