KIMCHILAND KOREA ~ ANYEONG HASEYO! Part 3

It was boarding time.

We checked in. My wife and I witnessed how this elderly Korean lady got into trouble with the Malaysian airport customs as she was trying to carry in with her what seemed to be little bottles of some kind of jam or jello. She was furious and all the customs people could say was that "no, ma'am you can't take these in". Her family tried to calm her down. We left the scene not knowing how it would end.

We got to another area where Korean immigration personnel checked our passports. I tried again my "anyeong haseyo" greeting. Got a friendly reaction, I think. Then it was to the waiting wing. Some photo-takings near the moving floor. Stopped by the restrooms. Then walked down to the waiting lounge. There was Teo and he said that he was looking for us at the airport departure lobby. Sorry Teo, we got in first. He later told me that his son saw us in.

I waited anxiously for our flight. Super excited as it was my first overseas flight in 15 years. We chatted with Teo. I looked through a printed material of Seoul. And asked Teo about some things that he might know about South Korea and Seoul.

Then it was about 15-20 minutes before departure and we finally get to board Air Asiana (a Korean Air subsidiary). That was a really cool feeling... walking through the aero-bridge and headed into the plane.

Yes, I am flying on a jet plane!
