KIMCHILAND KOREA ~ ANYEONG HASEYO! Part 2

There was Ben with his cousin Alex and fiancee Suzie; they were all from Labuan and natives, so that adds interesting blend of flavor to the team - which I thought would be all El Chinos. Later, we met two other families (Peter Wong family from Manggatal & another family from Sandakan).

We checked in; and I guess also officially met our first Korean for this trip - he was a young handsome fair-skin chap (and most Koreans have that complexion) and I think I tried on him my first "anyeong haseyo" during the duration of the journey. (The greeting was well-received with a bright smile.)

Excitement continues to blossom surely and steadily. My wife and I happily strolled around KK's latest landmark not particularly looking for anything but merely roaming like curious innocent kids. We were "killing time" - if you would like to put it that way. Killing time? No way; time is too precious to waste! Yeah, but we checked in at 10pm and we don't board till 11pm and final call was not till 15 minutes before take off at 12:05am.

And oh, need to mention here was this long-white haired spunky lanky "cowboy" whom I believe is a Sabahan. (And later in Seoul, I would see him again at the Chinese breakfast place on the fourth morning.) (Anyway, it was just amazing how lasting the effect can be to the mind when someone decides to present himself unconventionally to the world.)
