Today we headed to Korea. The bus came and picked us up from the hotel at 7:15 am. We loaded up the bus and departed for the Tokyo Airport. We arrived, waived at bus loads of Japanese girls (apparently they see Americans holding musical instruments and assume we are famous......we of course are more than happy to play that role), looked around, found our airline counter, and checked in. Everybody is so nice in Japan. We had no idea what we were doing but people kept coming up to us asking if we needed help. We got through all the security and customs without a problem and then had a few hours to kill in the airport. We hit up the duty free shops and then got some food. Half the band ate sushi, the other half ate McDonalds. At McDonalds a few members feasted on a "double big mac with eggs and bacon".....this is the biggest burger we've ever seen. We hear its really good for you too!
The flight to Korea was quick and easy. The entertainment on the plane was amazing. It had movies, tv shows, video games, music, etc.... just about anything we could ask for to kill a few hours. When we arrived in Korea we were met by Mr. Hwang. He helped us get loaded onto the bus, and gave us all hats, bags, and a packet of information. This packet contained all kinds of information on Korea such as history, little known facts, helpful hints, the itenerary, basic words, etc.... The entire bus ride to the hotel was silent. We checked into the hotel and then set out to experience downtown Seoul.
