Valladolid – Seoul. Stage 3: Seoul
This was the longest flight of my life. 11 hours seated in a plane without nothing better to do than sleep, watch movies, and eat the occasional snack the plane crew gave to us. I saw 2 movies including The rocky horror picture show. A must-see-cult-movie that I never saw before. Pretty bizarre and original, and a very strange selection for a flight Does really Lufthansa think this freak movie is appropriate in a plane?
I had a very strange Korean seatmate. She was a young girl, married to a French guy. She spoke perfect French, good Korean and very bad English, so it was pretty boring for me because I don’t know anything about French, less about Korean. Nevertheless I tried to speak Korean with her with my overwhelming skills, which are basically the phrase “You are beautiful”. She understood it though 
Incheon Airport
Seoul airport is really cool. They show proudly all around the airport that it had been declared worldwide best airport 2005,2006 and 2007. Looking at the cluttered departures and arrivals panels, you can see that the airport has lots of traffic but surprisingly everything runs smoothly. And everything is close, I didn’t need to walk for 20 minutes, take a train and walk for another 20 minutes to arrive at my gate like in Madrid!
Tip-of-the-day: It’s possible to travel with banned food in baggage. I was told that nothing was going to happen, but I was a bit afraid that my suitcase wouldn’t appear in the luggage reclaim area because I was carrying a small quantity of Spanish ham. Custom’s guys didn’t even ask me anything, and that means that if you pack ‘jamon’ very well it’s not detected in customs. Very well is precinct storage wrapped several times in plastic film.
Next time I will come with several kilos of jamon!
