Far East Cynic

What a way to start the day!

Let’s see. Wake up early so I can get to the airport. While moving suitcase from its stand in my hotel room(said suitcase is heavy from carrying winter items for Korea), accidentally bump lamp. Lamp slips off table and cracks when it hits the floor. Go down to main desk to get the clerk to come up and see how it happened so we don’t get into a pissing contest later.

All this occurs while CNN is on, with the cheery news that “World Stock Markets tanked yesterday because no likes GWB’s stimulus plan. US Stock market on holiday-expect major drop on opening”.

Or words to that effect.

Taxi driver takes his sweet time getting to Changi airport. Thus getting ready to rush to gate.

And they are predicting snow flurries in Seoul.

It just does not get any better than this!

Lots to blog about -no time. However I did get the chance to meet Expat at Large, Izzy, and Indy for beers on Sunday night. That was probably the one good moment of this trip so far.

On to the plane!

  1. It was good to meet you too…have fun in Seoul and if you get a chance say hello to a 3 Alley Pub Rib-eye for me…mmmm, I miss those.

  2. Skippy,
    If you do get to the Pub, I’ll buy a you a beer, enjoy your blog… and we have the same “ex” issues, Cheers!
