Okay, so I guess I need to give you an overview of my super sweet trip here.
Started out at 5 am on (what day is it?) Tuesday headed to the Chicago airport with my parents. I made it through everything all right and spent the next two hours waiting for the plane. I was pretty excited to discover that I not only had a window seat, but I didn't have anyone next to me. So that flight wasn't to bad, though I forgot to eat breakfast and I would have had to pay for food, so I went hungry. We arrived on time and then I started my speed run to the next flight. I had only twenty minutes between the two.
When I got checked in for my next flight, they crossed off my seat assignment and told me to check with the gate when I got there for my new seat. I was running late so I figured the had switched me for an even worse seat than center row economy, so I was not thrilled to get that news. When I arrived at the gate however, I was told they had overbooked and that I was being bumped to business class. I have never been in business class before, but this was amazing. It was nicer than the first class on the first flight. I got amazing food, and a tv, and a bed. Needless to say, the idea of a 12 hour flight went from terrifying to pretty damn exciting.

| My personal tv on the flight. Over 500 movies to choose from. |
 |
| Remote for the TV and all my other controls |
 |
| My plane socks |
 |
| Lunch. At least one part of it. |
After several movies, and two meals, and several short attempts to sleep, the flight ended and so did my trips smooth sailing. As I got off the plane, someone was waiting to tell me that one of my bags hadn't made it yet and that it would be there in the next day or so. Wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't the bag that had all of my socks, makeup, and movies in it. After struggling through the airport to the baggage claim and locating my two bags, I headed to the lost baggage claim. It took about twenty minutes to get that all sorted out then I exchange my USD for WON and headed for the buses. This wasn't to bad, I followed everything on the sheet, but when I went to call my boss to let him know to send someone to get me, one of the numbers was wrong. This wouldn't have been so bad, except that my phone was dying so I wouldn't be able to call both numbers later if I was lost. I slept on the four hour bus ride to Daegu and watched a korean movie without sound about a guy and girl who hate each other but then end up falling in love and he has to win her back from the guy that he got to fall for her. Universal storyline. No words required.
When I got to the last stop, I asked the bus driver if it was right and he told me it was, so I got off the bus and he tossed my stuff on the curb and went inside. an hour later, no one had showed. Thanks to a wonderful gentleman working there who helped me call my boss and find the people who were looking for me, I left. I owe him so much and I will forever be grateful. However, the bus driver who told me the wrong stop can burn in hell. We got to my apartment and they showed me around. When they left. I did a little organizing then watched sex in the city, and fell asleep.
