Welcome to Korea!
We made it through our first flying leg yesterday, 9 hours to Seoul. We started with a Brisbane moment - the gate attendant has been taught by Vanessa at Griffith - unfortunately a first class upgrade didn't appear, so perhaps she wasn't his favourite ...
First of all the flight - We flew with Korean Air and the flight was excellent, the food was good and the service was great. And even though the weather wasn't great one of the smoothest landings I've had in a long time. The inflight entertainment wasn't fantastic but we had a few gadgets to make it through the 9 hours. We've had an over night stop in Seoul before the 2nd leg to Prague.
The flight included a hotel stay at the Hyatt Seoul and again I was impressed with the hotel. It included both dinner and a full breakfast.
We arrived in Seoul with every intention of heading out and seeing some sights but after getting to the hotel and some dinner we completely crashed. Ironically, I even managed to find the Live AFL match on the in room TV something I can't even watch at home, but I couldn't even last one quarter before I fell asleep.
We went for a bit of a walk around the hotel but it's about an 1 and a half hours to Seoul so there wasn't much to see. The weather here also wasn't gereat for sight seeing as it's been raining off and on since we landed.
We are now making the most of the fabled Korean internet - but of course we are on airport lounge machines so we don't want to connect anything to them. The keyboards here have an english button - but if I want I could mangle korean - ㅁㄴ아ㅣㄹ묘후ㅡㅁㅊ며디ㅡㅜㅊ맨냐ㅐ (Vanessa made me do that).
We do think that a visit in the future is on the cards - of course the Tech Fund would require some serious investment before Vanessa will let that happen. I think now we will search for some food (and maybe some tech shopping), before boarding for Prague.
Stay tuned for a Prague update!
