Delays at Incheon Airport

A few hours a go, I arrived at Incheon International airport in Korea. 

Which at first was nice and exciting, since it was suppose to be just a quick layover on the way to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. 

However, quick is no more because my flight is officially delayed a few hours!

Which is still okay because Incheon airport happens to be one of the best airports in the world. They've got everything you need from Starbucks, all kinds of food options and various shopping stores. Oh! and CLEAN bathrooms. Can't get over the bathrooms.

Therefore, I will do a  quick picture update as I sit here at gate #31 looking very much like a zombi from the lack of sleep...

How I passed 14 hours.

Jotted down a couple of things. Watched 3 movies. Took 2 naps. Ate 2 airplane meals. Read on my kindle. Was EXTREMELY uncomfortable. I guess I did a lot. Haha.

 

Right by gate #40 for the connecting flight there was a Korean sports bar. Korean baseball on TV.

One of the two meals I had on the plane. I LOVE how it comes with a "How to" book. The art of making bi-bim-bop. Lol.

How Asiana Airlines apologized for the flight delay. It worked like a charm. In Korea, they put red bean on their Starbucks green tea frap! Tasted like green tea shaved ice from Paris Baguette.

My first meal in Korea. Spicy ramen. Was so spicy my lips turned the shade of my very pink shirt.


Okay, this is it for now. Gonna try to rest my eyes before I board again in a couple of hours. :X

Hear ye, hear ye!

Ms. Pho is about to take over this blog in T-7 days!!

I am feeling all sorts of emotions as I await the adventures waiting for me in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.  Kind of nervous but definitely excited to see what Vietnam has in store for me. 

-Lesson plans have been complete. 
It took me about a month to put together 24 arts & crafts lesson plans. 
Some of the arts & crafts activities I have planned out are:
rainbow fish, paper portraits, butterfly mobile, hand print flowers, and hand and foot print turkey Can't wait to show you how they turn out. I've actually tried some of the crafts out with my class this year. So far, positive feedback from the kiddies!

-Shots & medications have been taken. 
Malaria is a serious problem in some parts of Vietnam. Though Ho Chi Minh City isn't listed as one of the problem areas, I will stay on the side of precaution. You never know... 

-Started getting essential items together to pack such as...
hand wipes, medication, ear plugs (heard HCM city can be quite noisy!), female products (last year's intern told me it's rather hard to find over there), and bug spray!
I am ALSO bringing a giant bottle of Avon's Skin So Soft (thanks to a generous and kind co-worker)... I heard works great with mosquitoes!!!

At the moment, I am  pondering which 10 essential clothing items I should bring.
It's going to be HOT,  HUMID, and RAINY in Vietnam.
Sounds fabulous doesn't it?
Gonna try to pack as light and COTTON-Y as possible. Haha.

Other than that, I am looking forward to meeting all of my students and going pho-shing for the best bowl in town. So please stay tuned!

XOXO,

Ms. Kimpop or shall I say
Ms. Pho? ;)

Hasta la Vista, Goldfish!

Not quiet sure what it is about goldfish crackers but children love 'em!

It is a VERY popular snack choice by the little ones.
They NOT only love them but also like to do questionable things like dunk a bunch of
goldfish in to a cup of water and drink it straight up. Haha. 

I guess it could be the cute little goldfish shape or the fact that they are bite size and fun to eat.
I was a fan of goldfish too... that is until I discovered the BUNNIES!

Cheddar Bunnies to be exact.

Taste JUST LIKE goldfish, if not better.
But what makes these Cheddar Bunnies so great is that...

it's made with ORGANIC wheat flour and other ingredients that I can actually pronounce. 

The actual description is as follows:

Baked with organic wheat flour and Real Aged Cheddar, our Cheddar Bunnies are great tasting and wholesome. They are ideal for toddler-sized hands, but their crispy crunch and real cheesy flavor will tempt snackers of all ages to eat them by the handful.

Actual ingredients: ORGANIC WHEAT FLOUR, EXPELLER PRESSED VEGETABLE OIL (SAFFLOWER AND/OR SUNFLOWER), SALT, CHEDDAR CHEESE (PASTEURIZED MILK, CHEESE CULTURE, SALT, ENZYMES), YEAST EXTRACT, YEAST, PAPRIKA, ANNATTO EXTRACT FOR COLOR, GROUND CELERY SEED, ONION POWDER.

Therefore, if your child or someone you know (possibly a grown child like me... haha)
loves those goldfish cause they're soooo delicious,
hand them a box of cheddar bunnies and you'll probably have them saying
"Hasta la vista, goldfish!" as well.

PS. Also, the white cheddar bunnies are pretty delicious as well!
I actually like the white ones better than the regular cheddar bunnies. But that's just me.

PPS. You can usually find cheddar bunnies on sale at Target!
Happy bunny hunting!
