Arrival

We've arrived in Seoul. Long trip.

Anecdote:

On our aircraft (a American Airlines Boeing 777-300 series) I observed an old Chinese man struggling to get his personal video screen to work. For an hour, his nubby fingers futily swiped at the screen.

The joke was on me, though. I managed to reboot my video screen to DOS. It didn't work for the rest of the flight -- while the old Chinese man was able to enjoy "Mr. Monk and the Garbage Strike."

Also:

An old-woman flight attendant was a strong believer that volume is the universal language. My dreams will long be haunted by "DO YOU WANT CHICKEN WITH RICE OR PIZZA!?"
