I'm in 'transit', in Seoul Airport. The flight yesterday to Seoul, Korea took 10.5 hours. I sat next to a lovely German girl, named Sandra too. I didn't discover her name till we were about an hour out of Seoul! Sandra is heading to back to Germany after a year long stay in Australia.
The flight seemed extra long, being a day-time flight and not much sleep!
Korean airlines put us up in a hotel overnight. Sandra and I took the option of staying in down-town Seoul - which was another hour away on the bus. It was nice to stay in the hotel, get some much needed sleep and relax - even with a deliciously hot bath! :)
I didn't see much of Seoul, just a little wander around this morning close to the hotel. Seoul city is divided up by a whole lot of meandering rivers, connected by very long bridges. It seems like a very clean city, and very efficient. Familiar in one sense - with the 'western' type buildings, yet still remaining 'unfamiliar'. The people seem friendly and polite. There were a few small gardens, and trees amongst the tall buildings and traffic. The city was covered in a low fog - or maybe it was smog - so unfortunately, the sun and blue sky didn't make an appearance.
I have another hour to wait before another looooong flight - 11 hours this time! To Prague.
I arrive in Prague about 6pm, to then discover how I will get to the hostel I'm staying at.
