Entry for April 25th

I pretty much lost this day due to the flight and time difference. One thing I wanted to comment on are the Korean Air stewardesses, or is the new term flight attendant? Anyways, I'm only used to domestic flights so there is a clear difference. First of all, the Korean Air Flight Attendants (FAs) were, uh, how shall I say? Clearly not "career" FAs that work at most U.S. carriers and don't have post-menopause influenced personalities. European carriers, I understand, are no better and are in some cases worse. I hear that Lufthansa FAs are particularly hideous. The Korean Air FAs were in their early to mid 20's, tall, thin and pretty attractive. They spoke decent English too. They wore skirts that, from a distance, looked like they were made of leather, but were clearly of a nylon fabric and short enough to see a good amount of leg. Not "hot" like you would meet them in some club, but attractive and somewhat professional looking.

I hear that FAs from Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines are also in this mold. I wonder what it tells you about respective Eastern and Western societies? Maybe nothing? Anyways, I'll just sit back and enjoy the scenery.... =)

Service and food wise, Korean Air was great. The stewardesses were nice, cordial and professional. Food was excellent considering that it's airline food. You get your choice of Western or Korean fare and the food seemed like it was cooked not too long before the flight.

Here are some pictures:















Obviously rice with bulgogi. Not bad. The "Jeju" container is mineral water so no worries about icky airline drinking water.
















Korean Bibimbap above. Western food choices was steak (a small one of course), omelet and meatloaf (I think). Btw... I flew economy class.
