Airport Luck


So these past 3 days I’ve either been on the airplane or at the airport. And there are a lot of down times. From Minneapolis to Denver to L.A. to Seoul to Beijing to Bangkok, gosh I’m exhausted… Not only that but I’m also carrying some luggage with me. I should of packed lighter. From Minneapolis to Denver wasn’t that much of a trouble, The 1 hour flight went by quick cause I slept through it all. From Denver to L.A, I set next to a guy from Nebraska, who was visiting his grandma. Nice guy. We started talking about how our seating sucked. And it literally did. While others had television screens to entertain them, we sat looking at an empty wall. Worse part is that it was the back wall to the bathroom. I know… well his name was Zack, gave me a strawberry granola bar and from there we went our seperate ways.

Everything went down hill from there…
I couldn’t find my gate in LAX to Seoul! I swear I asked 4 different people until an old kind lady showed me a map. It was a 20-30 mins walk outside she said, or I can wait for the bus shuttle to take me. I wasn’t about to take my chances on waiting for a bus to come. So I ran. My friend Denny called while I was in panic mode. Gosh, good times huh. I got to the gate and how ironic is this. The security check-in line was filled all the way to the door with ASIANS!! Lucky enough I got on my flight to Seoul ^^. But when I got to Seoul, I had to wait 10 hrs till my flight to Bangkok, Thailand. I decided to stay up and not sleep. Thank goodness for wireless internet. The only problem was I needed to charge my laptop. I walked around looking for an outlet adaptor. Everyone spoke to me in Korean. I don’t look Korean!!! This old lady came up to talk to me, I told her “Sorry, I’m not Korean, I don’t understand.” She paused, looked at me for a second, and started talking to me in Korean again. I sat there till she was done talking to me. Anyways, I randomly bought one and it kind of worked. I roamed the Icheon Airport till 7am in the morning. Time to board my flight to Beijing! This time I was happy cause I finally got the window seat! Then 5 mins later, a fat old Chinese guy came and sat next to me. Turns out, he needs A LOT of space. He took my arm space, kept rubbing against my leg, and smelled like smoke. I had to deal with that for an hour. I also found out that looking outside the airplane window made me feel nausea. Got to Beijing and rode “Fairy Buses” lol. But when I finally got to Bangkok, I couldn’t find the person that was suppose to pick me up. I was a little freaked for awhile. kept walking and walking around. Spotted her finally. No more airport troubles! At least not for awhile. Can you move a girls heart Thailand?

P.S. I just saw a cockroach!!! <3
