KIMCHILAND KOREA ~ ANYEONG HASEYO! Part 4

The Air Asiana stewardess were very pretty! Their smiles were captivating. They warmly greeted us "anyeong haseyo". We got our Korean English newspapers; it was either Korean Times or Korean Herald. We got into our seats. So nice. So comfortable. So cool!

As standard procedures, the stewardess did what other airlines do... formal welcoming and then safety instructions (with the help of video). After that, they went to the rear area of the plane, and reappeared with their smart red aprons ready to serve beverages and food! (I remember that MAS or AirAsia did not have such attires for their air stewardess.)

I think I had a couple of orange juice. And when they were about to serve our "dinner" it was already 1am! To eat or not? Well, to make my money worth the traveling expenses, I would take the meal. We were about 30,000 feet above sea level and somewhere between north of Borneo and Palawan Island in the Philippines. I think I had Korean fish for my meal; and that was excellent, and the "kimchi" (yes, my first ever!) was exhilarating! Some passengers opted to skip meal and went straight to dozing off. I saw a girl had her toothbrush with her headed to the restroom. Hmm, I needed to do that too later after meal, I thought. But I did not have my toothbrush handy. It was in my checked-in luggage.

Interesting to note here is the video panel that folded down from the ceiling in front of passengers seats. It provided not only infos of safety instructions but also entertainment videos and flight infor such as altitude and journey time. It also showed map of where the plane was and how far more it had to travel. And we also had our earphones for musics, news and video voice.

Amazingly I did not sleep throughout the journey from KK to Seoul. Everything was crazy exciting for this ole boy from Putatan. I guess I need to travel more and actually I do have a deep passion traveling to see the outside world. We shall see.
