Today I finally left for Korea and I had no idea what my actual travel plans were (despite my take-off time of 730pm) including how long it would take or how many layovers I was going to have. So I am writing the latest edition of my blog in O'Hare airport in Chicago as I have a 5 hour layover. Then at 1am I will finally be on my way to my new home (after a 4 hour bus ride once the plane arrives).
I discovered that it probably was not the best idea to stay up partying until almost 5am the night before you travel for almost 2 days straight, but now I know for next time. I also discovered that showing up for an international flight 3 hours prior to the departure time ensures a lot of time twiddling your thumbs. Luckily when I was in line at customs I got talking to a man in front of me who was on his was to Brazil for a few weeks. It turned out that he was a Western alumni so we decided to grab a pint while waiting for our flights and talk about the good old days of university. Fortunately for me, my good old days were mere months ago, while Hugh last attending during the Cuban Missile crisis as he graduated in '65, but he still remembered the Ceeps! Well that is it for now. Next entry shall be from Korea! Still can't believe I am a blogger now...

trevs,
so far the trip is starting like a perfect movie beginning... except, in a really good 'sleepless in seattle'-like movie, you wouldn't have met Hugh but Hughette and you would have fallen madly in love in the matter of the minutes you spent talking over pints only to have to separate to different ends of the earth. would you ever meet again? well, a happy ending would be in store; no doubt!
the chance to go to japan is friggin beyond cool. japan is one asian country i'd happily do (but i probably wouldn't do any of the men). Post some of the pics!!
If you get bored, i suggest crossing through the rice paddies into the North and undertaking some good old-fashioned espionage.
be careful buddy.
much love!!
