HELLO FAMILY!

(on the way to Korea)

Hello friends and family :D

So the airplane I got in was A380, not A830 (sorry JP) As soon as seat belt sign turned off, I plugged my laptop charger under my seat (I found an outlet YAY) and turned on my laptop.
This airplane I was in was HUGE. I heard this one takes up to 550 people! I knew I was going to be in big airplane, but not THIS big. I wish I had a chance to go to business class :/ I sat on economy seat, near the right wing area. I was a bit worried about seating area, but this new airplane was built with wider seat, which was really nice. Each seat came with individual touch screen monitor that's wider than my hand, and a power outlet. There was a remote to use for controlling channels and playing games. There was USB outlet next to a monitor to charge your iPhone, MP3 player, etc. Table was a folding table.

(media system)

Their media system was pretty good too. They had quite a good selection of movies like Crazy Stupid Love, Cars 2, Harry Potter 7 part 2, etc. Music was okay, but I was surprised to see some of Korean indie artists like Lucid Fall's (oh my there were more but I can't think of names right now) album was included.

It had cool thing about their flight information! You can see outside of airplane VIA CAMERA! It installed 3 cameras (front, bottom, tail) and let you see how outside looked like.
I was pretty happy with an experience I had in A380. I wonder if I can take that plane again when I go back :P

(people who sat next to me)

Okay, I will stop talking about this airplane. I will talk about passengers who sat next to me. I got window seat and there are 2 passengers sitting next to me. One on aisle seat slept most of time since we sat down and one who sat in the middle read newspaper and watched documentary most of time. They seemed pretty chill. Only problem was that the guy who sat on aisle was big. Guy in the middle and I kept waiting for that guy to stand up and head out to somewhere so we can get out and go to restroom too. I was able to go to restroom just once....

(snack: bread with beef and Market-O brownie)

Food was good too. Portion was perfect for me, or maybe I felt that way because I wasn't digesting as fast. I really liked Market-O brownie. It was sweet for sure, but I really liked the texture of it. I wonder if I can get them at Kim's Club.

I arrived around 5:30pm, passed by the customs, picked up my gigantic baggage, and met my parents outside of the gate. My parents started to complain about how I gained weight more and how my hair looks messy as soon as we reunited.

We went to eat dinner near the airport. It was all you can eat 쌈밥 (vegetables that you can eat as a wrap) restaurant. My dad ordered fermented skate fish to have me try it because he thought I would like it since he likes it (we usually have same taste) One we had wasn't too fermented but it still had that weird stinky taste that I never tried. My mom hates skate fish so she didn't even touch it. I ended up eating small piece of mackerel, cooked with spicy sauce (고등어조림) all by myself (mackerel is my favorite fish) and some of spicy pork.

(she's 14 years old.)

After we filled our tummy, we came home and my baby, Murphy, came out to say hello. She didn't recognize me at first and almost bite me (bad girl!) but she slowly came to me though. I got surprised how she got so old and lost lot of hair around her nose and feet. She even lost so much weight too. Mom said she actually gained weight; she was barely 4 lbs about a month ago, but now she's about 5lbs, still skinny :(.

So this was pretty much my first day in Korea. Hope everyone is well. Gotta resume on my work! Bye!
