I spend the weekend in Seoul or in Incheon to be more exact. Our current hotel was under construction so they put us up in a different one further away from the center of Seoul. I had to work on a paper for university so I decidet to stay in Incheon.
I walked around a little bit and noticed that garbage disposal is pretty high-tech here… Wow.
I was searching for a good spot to eat lunch and came about some interesting restaurant concepts. I briefly considered the “Coffe and pork cutlet” option but then decidet to just have some sushi.
Afterwards I went to Starbucks. Observation #1: There is no Venti size… the coffee addict in me started to cry in silence. Observation #2: No fat free milk. Not that I had wanted 0% milk (yuck) but I wonder why they don’t offer it…
I must admit I was a little disappointed by the city. It all seemed very sterile and impersonal. The streets were lined with one huge building after the next and it felt like one mall after another. Even the churches were located in those buildings.
To end the day I went out for Korean BBQ with my colleagues. Super delicious and a ton of fun! Sorry, no pictures :-)

Wow!!! Your blog slash life is pretty darn cool. How great that you get to experience all these cultures and live in different places and visit NYC often (one of the greatest and coolest cities I’ve ever been to)!
I’m pretty sure I would love to fly to Korea and Japan just to eat dinner there– I love me some KBBQ and sushi (and hot pot, and shabu shabu, and basically alllll of that kind of food!).
Do you need to speak Japanese or Korean for the flights?

The food is definitely one of the major perks of the job :-) I gain weight every season during the time I work as a flight attendant.
There is no need to speak any other language than German and English, we have regional flight attendants for the routes to Korea, Japan, China and India who can translate if any issues come up.
I really love working for my airline but i am also looking forward to return to NYC for some time and spend a few months in a row with my boyfriend and away from my suitcase :-)
