~ ** First Business Trip ** ~ July 21st Went to the Nickelodeon beach party with John Chu and family. Finished up some work while they were playing.
Driver came at 9pm to take me to the airport.
Checked in and went to the business lounge. Dude! Did you know there was a Business Lounge? I never even heard of it until now! It is really nice. There's nice sofas and yummy food. all free! just the way I like it. I felt mad out of place wearing my khakis and super mario brothers t-shirt while everyone was all suited up. 12 am was my flight. Business Class! whoo-hoo!~ once again, first time!
It was sooooo nice and roomy. The seat goes all the way back and the foot rest comes up, and it's wide enough where i can sit indian-style. Food on the airplane. 10x better than coach. They even place a placemat on the table for you. It's a just a piece of cloth, but man it makes a difference. boonegee i tell ya, booneegee. so up to this point i didnt even think about taking pictures because i was so overwhelmed and excited with the whole experience. Arrival in Korea. Monday 5am. Driver picks me up and takes me to Westin Chosun Hotel. special greeting on my tv  
 
 
Monday night, back on the plane to Taiwan~ Arrive couple hours later, almost get kidnapped by illegal shady taxi men who keep saying "no problem. it's ok. get in car. it's safe." Finally get to the Tango  
 
 
New Taiwan co-workers take us to Teipei 101 (tallest building in the world. fastest elevator)  
random picture in taiwan. We went to TGIF in Taiwan. Look at the prices!  
$890 for Steak!!! krazy expensive there! .......... it was very confusing because they go by "dollars" as well. it was hard to get used to. Back on the plane on Thursday night to Korea again. 
Back at Chosun Hotel. Dude the mirror in the bathroom was so cool! 
After you shower, just that small part is not fogged up. krazy~ This very blurry picture is the view from my room: 
Went sight seeing w/ co-workers to one of the palaces in korea  
 
Fobs in Korea~ =)  
Sunday noon, Back on the plane to go back to USA. 
but.. this time... First Class!!! While i was chilling in the business lounge, all celebrity-like (haha. I'm such a loser). This lady keeps calling my name, i get mad scared cause it was when i was picking out my food... i thought i was doing something wrong. Anyhoo, she took my ticket and upgraded me. Nice! So the difference between business and first class: 1. you get a special gift when you first come in
2. you not only get slippers, but also PJs (that you can keep)
3. your chair turns into a nice comfortable bed.
4. not only that, but they make your bed! they put a cushiony blanket over your chair, place a new pillow and give you a comforter
5. when you eat, not only do they give you a placemat, but a pretty, REAL rose on the side for decoration
6. there is unlimited drinks (even alcohol), cookies, and chocolates
7. another gift when you leave
8. finally, not only is the food 10x better than business, but they have you 10x more: first they give you drinks and a variety of nuts then came... Dinner (may i recommend that you do not eat that whole day before getting on First Class) 1. h'ordereves and bread (i only started thinking about taking pictures after appetizers)
2. Appetizers 3. Soup (Onion soup or cream asparagus)
 
4. Salad 5. Entree (btwn Lobster, Steak, and something else with sides of course)
 
6. Crackers and a variety of Cheese
7. Fruit platter (by this point I was going to burst, so I just skipped)
8. Dessert - Cake
8. Coffee or Tea (Skipped)
You can't really tell from this picture, but this is how much space is in btwn me and the person in front of me. Please note that they are leaning way back at this point.
 After some sleep, Breakfast
1. Bread and Fruit Platter (with Knotts jams)
2. Cereal and Yogurt (once again, still full from dinner, so skipped)
3. I wanted a light breakfast, so I choose Jook instead of the shrimp omelette or the vegetable lasagna.
Here's my "light" jook
 and so this concludes, my first business trip. Yay! |
