Deja vu...

I am back in Korea for a month as Nagaraj goes for a vacation. I was not particularly looking forward to this trip as I had decided not to come back. But it started off reasonably well.

Flight...

The flight was as good as a Thai flight can get. With short stop overs in Bangkok and Taipei, I was not exactly expecting a comfortable trip. But for a change I slept well in the flight. Perhaps the lack of sleep previous night helped. The new Suvarnabhoomi airport at Bangkok was a surprise. It is huge (maybe an understatement). It took a lot of time to figure out the directions to get the directions for my onward gate. I had packed my camera in checkin baggage by mistake. But I liked the new look of the airport. I decided to walk to my departure gate and I guess this was the longest walk I had ever taken on an airport. And I was wishing I had more time to explore.

Landed...

It brought back the memories of the great time I spent here. And it felt like I am back to the winter of 2004-5 when I first came to Korea. It is a country where one feels at home as soon as one lands. And being familiar with the environment was an added advantage this time. It felt good with all the apprehensions gone. Work is going to be tough and I think I am ready for it now. It is all in the mind. And I am back to myself.

Cheers!!!
