The flight from Tokyo to Seoul was a decent one. It was about 2 hours. One of those where you spend more time at the airport than in the air. We rode the subway to near our hotel and then took a cab. The cabbie didn't speak any English or Japanese and we of course could not do Korean. So his solution he drove down the street yelling out the window at people to see if they spoke English. He found someone who did and figured out where we were going. By that I mean that the guy he found who spoke English used his cell phone to look up directions which he told the cabbie. The whole time the meter was running. Now to put Japanese prices into dollars you take off two zeroes. In Korea you take off 3 thin meant that we thought we had taken a 100 dollar cab ride instead of what we had taken a 10 dollar cab ride. When we got to the hotel we were happy to find it had American TV including America's Funniest Home Videos. That was soothing.
That's a pretty room!
