Incheon:
It's about 7:15AM, Tuesday morning. I'm at Incheon Internation Airport right now waiting for to board the flight to Manila. That was a long flight. It seemed longer than the other times I crossed the Pacific. Maybe it was because I woke up with at least six hours left in the flight. Usually, I wouldn't wake up until at least three hours later. And I've gotten used to just five or six hours of sleep lately, so I'm still fine.
Anyway, I ended up getting an aisle seat at the very last row. I was hesistant to take it at first, but it turned out to be not that bad at all. Actually, it was a pretty cool seat. It came with some pretty nifty advantages:
- Being an aisle seat, I could get in and out of my seat without having to hop over everyone else.
- I was closest to the restroom, so I could just go as soon as I find out it was free (which was within a second or so.)
- The best part of all was that the two seats next to me were empty. So in that middle section of four seats, I was assigned the one on the right while the two in the middle had no one sitting in them. Someone was sitting on the very left seat, though. So I just lifted one of the arm rests and ended up also taking up one of the extra seats. Instant bed! Too bad that other passenger was there. Otherwise, I could have taken over all four seats in that section. But I didn't want to invade their personal space.
Now this is a weird part. While I was in the restroom, I started thinking about ghosts and stuff in restrooms. Okay, this needs a little explanation. At work last Friday, Ate Rada was saying that in the women's restroom, she saw some woman with long hair, wearing a white top and black skirt just standing in one of the stalls. She did a double take and saw nothing. Hmmm...
So back to my story. I got out of the restroom and went back to my seat. However, I found that some girl was sitting in my seat!
Me: Umm... excuse me.
Her: Oh, sorry, sorry.
She got up and let me sit down. But she didn't really go anywhere for a while. She just stood there at the aisle for at least ten minutes. *shrug*
Well, I have to go board my plane now. So, till next time...
