If you listened to last week's bonus episode, you'll know that I spent a week back in Canada. I'm back in Seoul now, and I had an amazing time back home. And perhaps next week, I'll tell you that story about what I actually got up to, because it was a really good time and I had some... Bye. Bye. Bye. A whole day in the air, going to Canada and coming back and some of the other little regional flights that I had to do in Canada.
Plus, I spent another maybe six to eight hours, maybe even more, I'm not sure, in airports. So my last week was really dominated over a whole day, a whole one seventh of my week. was spent either in the air or in airports. So yeah, I'm going to tell you a little bit about that experience here this week, airplane tales. So I'm going to start by talking about my flight that I took to visit Canada. So I departed from Seoul. There's a big airport here called Incheon International Airport. So from Incheon International Airport in Seoul to Vancouver. Now... That flight is a pretty long flight, as you can imagine. We go over the Pacific Ocean. Well, really, we go up towards the Arctic and then over Russia and then down over Alaska and then down the west coast of Canada to Vancouver.
So it's like this big arch pattern that we follow. And it's a long flight. It's around nine and a half hours in the air for that flight. Now, when I booked my ticket, I swore, guys, I swore that I selected my seat when I booked the ticket. When you reserve your airplane ticket online, there's a section where you can choose your seat. I have to be careful at this stage because some of the seats cost extra. They're like premium seats. But usually there are some seats that you can choose from that come at no additional cost. And so I swore that I selected the aisle seat, the aisle seat. That's where I prefer to sit. I like sitting in the aisle just so I don't feel trapped or claustrophobic that I can get up and move around if I need to stretch or if I need to go to the washroom, something like that.
I like to be right on the aisle so I can easily stretch, easily walk around, easily go to the washroom. Of course, it's cool to sit beside the window because you get this amazing view.
