The Beginning Part 4

It’s July 15^th now and I’ve been in Seoul for the last week. It’s been hot all day…and decent at night. I’ll continue my story of my plane ride to Korea. The plane ride was just filthy long…I spent 14 hours on my ass trying to find a decent position to sleep in. When I didn’t sleep, I watched the movies playing on the screen (later I found out it was just a projection). I watched Mad Money, or at least most of it. It was entertaining…I suppose. One of those movies you watch when you got nothing else to do. That’s why I watched it XD. After that, Bucket List started to play. It was a great movie! I cried in the end but I tried to hold it back. The stewardesses (in my case steward) started to hand out sandwiches and oreos for a light snack. I forgot how it tasted but as always, I scraped off the white filling of the oreos before I ate them. Later, a Dr. Seuss movie started playing. I think it was about the Whos living on a speck. I LOVED that movie! It had the goofy kind of humor I love~~ Later, the steward started his rounds to serve breakfast. I had the fried rice and beef…more disgusting microwavable food. I was certain that this food was going to give me indigestion or something but I ate it anyway. The guy next to me left for a really long time. I had no idea what he was doing. Maybe he was taking a dump or he found a seat in the back or maybe he was talking to the stewardesses? Earlier, I talked with the white guy that was sitting a seat away. He’s part of the Air Force and he’s on his way to Guam to work as a construction worker. I didn’t talk to him much since he was a seat away and he looked like he didn’t want to talk.

We eventually landed and I had to hurry off to the back of my section of the plane to retrieve my bag. The compartment above me didn’t have enough room for my bag so I had to put it in the back. People started to get up from their seat so I couldn’t go back to my seat to get my other bag. One thing about airplane passengers is that they are usually friendly. When I was trying to get my backpack from the overhead compartment, the guy sitting right below offered to take it down for me. After a few minutes everyone was allowed to get off. I had about 40 minutes or so before the plane to Seoul will depart so I used that time to go to the bathroom and look around Narita airport. As everyone from the plane stood in line to get into the airport, there was a white family that was partially holding up the line. One of the men of the family was frantically searching for his ticket. He was looking through his luggage and his backpack. The Japanese stewardesses watched them and asked if they needed help. After a few minutes, I was already ahead in line. Later I heard one of the females from the family shout, “Oh my gosh, it was in the purse all along.” Sounds like something that I go through all the time…

The airport was a small one, probably because it wasn’t a major airport. There were a lot of booths selling items such as yukatas, magazines, designer bags and jewelry. I took a few pictures of some of the sites I saw around my trip. When I first got off the plane, I went straight to the bathroom. Lo and behold, a bidet was fitted on the toilets. Like all Korean and possibly Japanese public toilets, the doors reach almost all the way to the floor. You get more privacy so it’s nice. I looked at the bidet for a while and decided to try it out. There were the standard buttons: the butt washer, the “bidet” for the ladies, music to cover up any noises, a seat warmer and possibly more buttons but I’ve forgotten them. There were buttons to control the temperature of the seat and the water so it was nice. I tried out the butt washer but for some reason it didn’t reach my butt but just the back of it. Perhaps I didn’t sit on the toilet right…but yeah, it sucked. I ended up with a soggy pair of pants when I came out. It wasn’t too wet but I was sad ;_;.
