Dinner in Seoul

Posted on by

Our first meal in Korea Grand Master Kim of NY was serving our table.  This is going to be one LONG trip.  Jenna only ate plain rice and a little lettuce even with Master Yoo trying to encourage her.

I thought the foods were good.  Mostly vegetable combos with rice some spicy and some not.  This restaurant has metal chop sticks that were heavy to use.  Although Jenna did fine eating her rice and lettuce with them I must have looked pathetic because a waitress came over with a fork.

Seoul Airport

Cool looking Airport!

It was incredibly clean and the people working there  were friendly.  Although trying to leave with my luggage Jenna & I were stopped and not allowed to pass because of a form I filled out on the plane  customs took and didn't  give back.  Master Yoo was way ahead and didn't see.  Thank goodness for Grand Master Kim because he stopped and spoke to them and then they let Jenna and I through.

The plane ride really wasn't bad. We got up to stretch a lot, watched movies and the airline was constantly feeding us.  Three meals in 14 hours plus soft drinks and snacks.  We used the books you all gave us and were doing competitive games of word searches and Sudoku etc.  Jenna & I stayed awake all the way and Jenna went to sleep 10 pm Korean time.

Airport Picture

Attached is a single picture I was able to capture at JFK Airport.  It shows Jenna with the 120+ pounds of luggage to be checked.  Jenna was disappointed that there were no USB charging outlets at her seat on the plane (like there were in the terminal) for her iPod.
