he drew a deep breath. "well, i'm back," he said.

I'm not suffering any jet lag; my attempts to sleep on the plane seemed to work out, although i was still quite tired yesterday, and almost nodded off as i was towelling myself dry after a shower.

Incheon International Airport sucked.  People seemed unfriendly in general, and they were charging ₩2000 for a can of soda and ₩3000 for a 12oz cup of coffee, which is a lot, even considering the airport store surcharge.  If a Starbucks in Hong Kong International Airport can sell me a 16oz mocha for HK$31, i don't see why Incheon's gotta bust my balls for some caffeine.

And then there's the retarded security.  We came off the plane from Singapore and then had to go through X-rays and metal detectors before being admitted into the transit area.  Hello?  We just came off the fucking plane!  I'm pretty sure i didn't buy a gun or a stick of dynamite from the flight attendant.  Then it came time to board, and the line was being held up by one guy checking everyone's passport and boarding pass, and then another guy collecting transit passes.  How about using both guys to do both and cutting the line in half?  And to top it off, there was an actual carry-on luggage inspection right before getting on the plane.  I was seriously pissed off by the time i got into my seat.

Throughout the trip, i consumed no soda, alcohol, or chocolate, although i did have some 7Up and a Korean Snickers bar on the flight back.

I think 2000 won is about $2 now, 3000 won being $3, and HKD31 is about $3.99. So your Korean coffee was 25c/oz, and your Hong Kong mocha was 25c/oz. Should've found a vending machine for an 800won 5oz cup of instant joe :)

(I've never been to Inchon, just Kimpo and Taegu.)

I think it's quite reasonable to charge more for a drink that contains espresso and milk than one that's just plain drip coffee.

You're Back! Happy Snickery feelings...

So do Korean Snickers taste different than American ones?

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

Nope.

Yesterday hoppie and I split a Reeces Carmel big cup. He thought it tasted very Snickersy.

Oooh, that sounds tasty.
