Fell asleep in Queens, awoke in South Korea

Eddie and I are the in gargantuan Incheon Intergalactic airport, having landed just a few minutes ago. Between our gate and the free internet lounge, we were too-politely smiled at and bowed to about 47 times, xrayed for shivs and stolen steak knives from the plane, and infrared-scanned for swineflu (negative). Since we have only about 14 hours until our flight to Hanoi, we may decide to hop onto one of these tsunami-tours from the airport to a buddhist temple, over a gigantic bridge and back for only $10 US.

In other news, excepting the funk of 10,000 miles and 14 hours of air travel on disquietingly absorbent cloth seat, I feel pretty good. After take off but before the first lap of the beverage cart , I was unconcious for a dreamless 10 hours until I woke up to about 4 korean octogenarians coughing TB in my face, apparently because the exit row window in front of me afforeded a much better view of the absolutely featureless black sky than the identically sized and oriented window 4 rows behind at their own seats.

It's about 6am Korean time, making it 4 in the afternoon on the east coast. I will try to post again before midnight (US time) tonight. as they say in Korea, ciao for now.
