Seoul to Bangkok

I am flying Asiana to Bangkok.  After flying with Cebu Pacific and Peach, Asiana may be a nice change.  I had started to forget that I had Aeroplan flights in business class.  This leg is Seoul to Bangkok, leaving at 6:30 this evening.

It seems to give me a priority immigration line in Bangkok, which should help with my late arrival in Bangkok at 10pm.
As I arrived this morning from Osaka, I checked in with Asiana and then took the train to the city to meet up with some friends for lunch.  The early morning flight only happened because Peach cancelled their noon flight, but it worked out well.  With the noon flight there would of been no time to come into town.
Because of the curfew in Bangkok and the continuing civil unrest, I have booked a hotel about half way from the airport to the city.  It still looks well connected so if all is well tomorrow morning I can spend the day in town.  I just have one full day before flying to Myanmar, which is probably just the right amount of time to spend in a Bangkok right now.

Korea

Hello from Korea! I’ve decided it’s just warm enough to put shorts on, but in the evenings I seem to look very Canadian with shorts and a light jacket.
Seoul is as I remember it, but it seems to have more people! Perhaps I am just not used to so many people in one place.  Gangnam was crazy on a Friday night with so many bars and clubs. I didn’t see Psy though unfortunately!
 
I have had a couple meals now cooked BBQ style on the table with hot charcoal. It’s kind of cool to see.  BBQ goes well with soju too.  Actually, I think anything gives well with soju 🙂
