Flying Over the Motherland

2014年05月05日 (The date changed because We passed over the International Date Line, not because the day ended.  On the way back, I will arrive in the US within a few hours of the time I left and still on the same day).

Thanks to a free upgrade, I got to spend my 13 hour flight to Seoul in the 2nd floor first class section of a Boeing 747.  Although, that still didn't mean I could sleep more than 3 hours or so...  At least I was excessively comfortable and well-fed.  However, the best part was that the plane flew in the same direction as the sun, so it was constantly daytime and I got to watch the landscape change as we flew over Siberia.
