Well, yeah, waiting in LAX all day wasn’t super cool, but it was okay/nift. I was FINALLY able to check in at 8 pm (after being there since noon), then I flew out at midnight.
Flying at night to Asia is
the way to go. I got a full night’s sleep and a nap, so jet lag hasn’t been as fierce as usual. Here's how:
I watched the first half of Tomorrowland
and ate dinner, slept for 7 hours, finished Tomorrowland
(that movie deserves more love because I love Brad Bird), took another two hour
nap, woke up, had breakfast, watched Benjamin
Button (basically, Brad Pitt has sex at every stage of life, starting by
having sex with a young prostitute while he’s old, ending by having sex with an
old lady when he’s a teenager, so you never really feel comfortable with it
regardless of your opinion on premarital sex), then we landed at 5 am on
Saturday Korea time. (BTW, the airplane was SO quiet: it landed as soft and gentle
as Jennifer Lawrence’s lips on mine someday maybe.)
The Incheon Airport was SO nice (it's the #2 top-ranked airport in the WORLD).
It was big and clean, there were lots of nice restaurants and stores, but the
real highlight was the rest area.
When you’re travelling, it can be
hard and uncomfortable to be stuck in an airport for hours. Even if there’s
good shopping and food, mostly you just want a nice place to sit down and rest.
In this airport, it’s easy to find a quiet place to rest from travelling –
there’s an entire floor dedicated to it.
On a level separated from all the hustle
and bustle, there’s a spa, showers, massage chairs, a hotel, cultural displays, a cool play
area (FOR KIDS?!!), and lots of soft, cushy chairs and benches where you can
take naps. I think the spa and hotel cost
money, but the rest of it was F R E E. It was so nice to hop in the shower and
change into some fresh clothes I’d brought in my carry on. It was like getting
a whole new start! (Actually, I just sat and looked at my phone after I
explored for a couple hours, but I really
thought about freshening up. Maybe next time.)

I kno it's a bad pic butt this guy was full-on awake, so I couldn't take very good pics of everyone else sleeping. |
 |
Butt I did get good pics of these people sleeping. |
 |
Sleep away. |

I think this was the cult part of it. |
 |
This was part of the cultural display lol |

Korea airplane, you so quiet. Be my J-Law. |

Should I join? #KoreaFamous |
Unfortunately, I didn’t find the movie
theater. There’s also supposedly an ice rink and junk, but I didn’t see those
either. Internet’s lying to me, man.
After five hours, I jumped on a
plane to Taiwan. I watched a Chinese action flick (not Mulan), ate some tofu (not good),
then watched the first part of Age of Adaline (not gonna finish
it).

no no no |
Now I’m in Taiwan. And I’m still
not 100% about what exactly I’m getting paid for, but whatevs.
