An adveture in Korea - Day 1

Hi... I'm not into blogging but I couldn't miss the opportunity to share with family, friends, and acquaintances my adventure in Korea.

I work for a multinational Korean company in Brazil and as part of the project that I'm involved in they sent me to Korea by myself to get some training for 10 days.

Ok... That should be enough for introduction.

I took an airplane from SP to L.A. and then from L.A. to Seoul, where I spent slightly less than 24 hours in the same airplane. Korean Air is a very good company, I would probably give them 5 stars, but 24 hours in an airplane is just too much.

After arriving at the hotel around 7:00am I slept all day long and woke up at 9:00pm. As you can imagine I was pretty hungry so I decided to get something to eat and took a cab at the hotel to YangJae station.

When we got to the subway station I asked the cab driver: "Food? eat?"... He would repeat the same words back to me with some confusion in his face. Then I said: "McDonald's". Taxi driver: "Oh McDuh! McDuh!" Me: "YES!!!! McDuh! McDuh!!!"

On my way to "McDuh" I found a Korean restaurant across the street and decided to go there.

When I got to the restaurant I asked the waitress to bring whatever she wanted. She brought me some pork soup with a buch of vegetables, sticky rice, kimchi, green peppers, and some sauce. After trying some of that food I concluded that the water was the only consumable thing there. I paid ₩6,000 for the meal, which is about $5.40 USD, and ended up going to "McDuh."

Now is 01:15am and my biological clock is all messed up. Lemme go to bed and try to get some sleep 'cause church starts tomorrow at noon.
