03/22/2009 Seoul (South Korea)

Are 3:56 am sleeping ... All around me ...
My stomach, my body, my mind is completely twisted now ... What time is it? And 'morning, afternoon or evening? And that day? In Italy is March 21 or 22? And here?

This morning at dawn we left our hostel, our cars, Christchurch .... With a Qantas flight we returned to Auckland. It all started there and it all ends there ....
During the flight, Brown reflected thoughtfully: "It 's amazing, an hour and a half we covered what we did in three weeks ..."!
Auckland slowly begin to "switch". Already in the waiting room of the airport, while waiting for our flight, the West could be counted on the fingers of one hand ... only people around us slant-eyed (Chinese, Japanese, Korean), but the hostess or even our Air (Korean Air) has almond eyes!

New Zealand is now a distant memory ... We immediately catapulted into the Eastern world, the characters are everywhere, we do not understand anything ... even the menu is ... Eastern Noodles or rice and salmon Mandarin?
Ten long, uncomfortable and endless hours we are flying over various earthly paradises, from those Cook Islands Fiji, Marshall in Guam ... But our destination is the capital of South Korea!
I think in Seoul and I think of the Olympics, World Cup referee Moreno, elimination against the team that hosted the event ...
We land at 20.20 and trying to do all the paperwork as soon as possible, we are too curious to at least try this mysterious city!

45 minutes by bus and reach "In-Sa-Dong, the center that we had talked about a Korean-known out of Auckland.

Encounter many difficulties in making even the simplest things or reach the most famous view of the total ignorance of English by Koreans of all ages, from young drivers to ...

We have dinner in a traditional restaurant, eat things from the more traditional Suggest server and path to search for our "In-Sa-Dong."
Inevitably this city reminded me a bit 'Hong Kong, although a very small scale. I expected huge skyscrapers and majestic palaces but none of this ... It 's true that we shot a lot but the initial impact was that!
On the other hand, a beer and a Korean Japanese sacha, between a Pepsi and a cuddle we spent the evening chatting and joking ...

The courtesy and respect of their Eastern countries even here there is very ... Bows to greet or take leave of us, all offered with grace and with both hands (even count).

Meanwhile, the 4:25 am and as many camp we lay on the benches of the international airport in Incheon ...

Thanks korea
