Soooo....At present, I am writing this blog from Kimpo International Airport in Seoul. Had everything gone according to plan, I would have already written it this afternoon, while I was on the flight home I was supposed to be on. But, as I said in the last message, if I knew exactly how I was going to land, then this wouldn't have been a 'leap of faith'. And all in all, after a really good week, I'd venture to say it was a pretty smooth landing...just 1 day late...and on no sleep. This is however my first time spending a night in the airport however, so yay for new experiences! And between all the big screen TVs screaming Korean variety shows at me and the spirited little Korean lady who-despite the language barrier-spent two hours trying to convert me into a Jehovah's witness, I haven't had a chance to get bored yet! And now I've got you wonderful people to write to!
Anyway, speaking of new experiences, I also got to spend the last few days of my trip staying in a Korean love hotel by myself. Compared to the last experience I had like this in Malaysia, (where I was also sufferering from food poisoning and had to spend the nights listening to the two Indian guys getting it on in the room next to me), it actually wasn't that bad at all. Unquestionably, my only constant source of frustration was all of the murals of naked women EVERYWHERE that served as a ceaseless reminder of the fact that I wasn't gonna get any.
Hmmm...so it goes. I was there on business anyway.
In that respect, the trip was a success. Basically, I was there doing reconosense for a comparative analysis of Seoul and Tokyo so that I can calculate my next steps, and lay out the plan for the following year.
I won't bore you guys with the details of it, but it's going to involve quite a lot of 'country jumping', time and money super-management, and at least one time running around Tokyo with no pants on.
(...okay maybe that last one's just for fun ;)
Logistically however, as I learn more about how to effectively plan out and execute 3 month, 6 month and 1 year plans, things are running more and more smoothly on a daily basis, to the point that I rarely ever worry too much about things anymore. If, figuratively speaking, this means I can jump farther and higher with each leap, then I guess this also means that I'm going to have to learn to be a lot better with my landings too ;)
Ps. For those of you that are interested, the most recent blog I wrote for 'The opinionated Traveler' , 'More than enough' deals more heavily with the philosophical side of everything I learned from this trip. Check it out if you like-
