When your planning a whirlwind trip around the world you spend most of your time making sure fights don't change, hotels don't close, interviewees don't cancel. You know, fun stuff. One thing you never pay attention to is the weather. That is because the weather (or even thinking about it) will cause you to start second guessing yourself.
"Two days in Seoul seems like enough... But what if it rains???"
Well, that's what happened today.
Woke up early. Way too early. 5:00 in the morning early. And, like a good case of jetlag will do, I wasn't able to fall back to sleep. Turning on CNN and having the anchors freaking out about a major power outage wth unknown causes in LA didn't help all too much either. Went to the hotel's hillarious "fitness center" on the top floor at 7am, which basically consists of a few second-hand pieces of exercise equipment. That however, isn't the half of it. What makes the place far more unique is its entrance sequence (right through the large top-floor meeting space) and the golf practice tee next door. For the first time in at least 20 years, I've swung a golf club this morning (minigolf doesn't count), and it showed.
Came back in the room and realized it was raining. However, I didn't think it looked too bad. Went outside to begin my day in Seoul and, well, its a mess out there right now. And with that, decided Seoul wasn't going to happen at least for a couple more hours.
After that, I had a sweet potato sandwich at a little shop next door. Ham, sweet potato and cheese (i think). It was quite, quite yummy.
So, now I'm sitting in the hotel's "business center", which consists of two 5-year-old computers waiting for the maid to finish in my room. Really, today is an exercise in putting off boredom. Right now, boredom is winning handidly.
Luckily tomorrow is the trip to Hong Kong aka the place this trip was built around.
I just hope it doesn't rain.
