Leaving

Vancouver - Seoul









Incheon International Airport



The flight was nothing to speak of (nothing positive, anyway), and for those who cannot help but wonder--yes, we flew Air Canada. The reasons why the flight sucked (itemized):

1. A flight attendant spilled hot coffee on me twenty minutes into the flight.
2. A flight attendant then told me "shit happens."
3. A flight attendant filled our overhead compartment with paperplates and plastic cups, so there wasn't any room for our carry-on baggage.
4. A flight attendant then told me "not my problem."
5. A flight attendant locked our carry-on baggage in a secret compartment, and we had no access to it during the flight.
6. Many flight attendants had verbal confrontations in french in front of Andrea and I, assuming we couldn't understand. Note: We could.

Of course, once we landed in Seoul we still had to fly to Busan. That was when we found that our recruiter had booked us on flights that were leaving from a different airport (Gimpo, while we landed at Incheon), and there was no way for us to make that flight, which was about a 1 hour bus ride distant. At this point, though, after 30 hours of sleepless, uninterrupted daylight, everything was hilarious.
