Second leg of the trip, part dos

Dos = 2. I think.

Anyway, a pleasant enough night in Incheon, and breakfast was good. For a hotel breakfast anyway. I had a donut, some really nice fruit and also some odd tasting bacon. It was alright, but not brilliant. I'd really like to know what type of fruit that was. Anyway, check out time was pretty early and my flight wasn't for a while, so I checked out early and thought I'd go and check out the airport. Got through customs fine, except that I'd forgotten about the whole liquid restrictions, and had tried to take in a bottle of water. The customs lady did not look impressed one little bit. So I wondered around the airport for a couple of hours. I resisted the urge to have a dunkin donut (possibly the only donut franchise I haven't eaten), but that wasn't hard considering I didn't have any local currency. After a long wait, the flight was finally ready for boarding.

Quite a nice flight, but I think that was completely down to the fact that I had 3 seats to myself. Unlike the earlier flight where I couldn't stretch at all, I didn't 'need' to get up to stretch once. That and the entertainment system, and the excellent food made the flight completely worth the price. I watched 3 movies (whose names I've forgotten) and several documentaries. Which was mainly because it was cloudy all the way to the Pyrenees. I did however open the blind once we got to Europe, and at one point an EasyJet jet went directly underneath us, going at a 90 degree angle to our right. Definitely the closest I ever want to get to another jet in mid air. Apart from the sharp turns we took to avoid restricted air space over what looked like a nuclear power station nothing else to report about the flight.

But that's in the past. I will continue my tales of my trip when I get more time, but as for the present, I now have somewhere to live (move in Sunday), I've started working, my pc isn't a pc it's a mac mini at work (so sexy). I still have very little money but now it's just a matter of waiting for the money to hit my account as I do have a UK account, I just don't have any money in it yet thanks to the vagaries of international transfers.

More later. If you're wondering what the temperature is like, let me just say it's cold and windy and I haven't seen the sun in several days. When I get more time I will email people directly. Bye for now....
