Things I Was Doing While Not Blogging (Part II)

I had the enormous privilege to travel back to Korea for a cousin's wedding!  I say enormous, because I have two kids and a husband and a full time job and limited financial resources.  Add it up and it never equals travel.  But my dear John made it happen.  He purchased my ticket using his own personal miles and I was fortunate enough to get the time off!  The last time I was in the Motherland was in 1996 (you read that right). 

Not only did John use his miles, he booked me in Business Class!  I felt like an imposter sitting in the plush, roomy seat.  It's different world!  As soon as I walked on the plane, I was greeted by a nicely wrapped comforter (yes, comforter, not a thin, small piece of cloth) and a fluffy pillow!  I didn't have to wonder if the blanket was clean.  The leg room was fantastic (I could stretch out my legs without touching the seat in front of me... okay my legs are on the short side). 

The food is well, still airplane food, but it all looked so very nice...

They also passed out Bose headphones and coffee was free flowing whenever I wanted some!  I finally got to watch Mad Men to see what the big deal is all about.

Some 15 hours later, I arrived in Seoul.  It was late and since I didn't get a wink of sleep on my flight (too busy trying to enjoy every amenity), it wasn't long before I fell asleep.

It felt great to be in Seoul.  My first meal cooked by my mom:

Lots of different kinds of kimchee and fresh raw oysters (on the white square plate) bought that same morning at the wholesale market.  It was so fresh and tasty dipped in a vinegary hot pepper sauce!  And yes, this was breakfast!
