My Flight to Japan Couldn't Be Better!

I am currently waiting in Seoul, South Korea Incheon Airport. I have to say that it is beautiful here; the people are dressed so nice, everyone is so helpful, the airport is spotless, many high fashion stores to shop at, and finding someone who speaks English is beyond easy. I can already see the differences between American service and Asian service. I was served BiBimBap with some type of Korean green hot sauce, fruit, and sliced octopus on the flight here...so basically a meal I had to mentally prepare and motivate my self to try.HAHA For breakfast, the flight attendants were offering an egg, ham, and cheese omelet or a fish and rice meal; I decided to take my last American meal and go with the omelet. The funny part was everyone else on the plane, (Note: all Asians + one American aka ME!) , kept questioning me what this so called "omelet" was and how to pronounce it. It was very funny!
Also, I met some very interesting people on my flights; a man from China who teaches welding, a cute Japanese couple who just visited the U.S, and many people who were going to teach English classes in China.
My earlier flights (Cleveland and L.A.) went perfect as well. I got plenty of sleep and spent some time studying Japanese. My next flight is into Nagoya, Japan where my host family will meet and pick me up. I am so excited to arrive there! I have taken some pictures, and I can upload them to share later when I get the chance, assuming I will be very busy until I settle into my new home. Sayonara!
