Flat Stanley's Final Week in Asia

I titled this week's blog differently because Flat Stanley took a side trip with Gwen to South Korea on a business trip.  He got to check out many more different types of food.  We've loved having our visitor, but he will be heading back to Virginia tomorrow (if Gwen can sneak out of the office to mail him).  I believe he has had a very good trip and there will be an Apple photo book being published and sent to Jacob tomorrow to tell the story of his adventures.

So we took off for South Korea.

So here is Stanley waiting for the train to head to the airport after a taxi ride.

Waiting at our gate.

In our seat and being welcomed aboard by Cathay Pacific.
After a 3 hour and 1 minute flight we wait in the "foreign passport" line to clear immigration.  Pretty sure we should not have taken this picture which is what made it that much better.


Then we waited for a limousine (big cushy bus) to take us to our hotel.
 After arriving late I found a burger joint for dinner.  As I was sitting there reading FaceBook I realized it was St. Patrick's Day, so I had to have a beer.  Ironically they put a lemon (instead of a green lime) in the bottle.


Next day was off to work and a few pictures to meet the team.





Welcome to the office Gwen & Stanley

Next day's lunch consisted of Kimchi, and Stanley was in the middle of it all.

Dawn, Gwen and Stanley checking out the Kimchi closer.

Dinner with the team at a Japanese Fusion restaurant.

There was a cat theme at this restaurant, so Stanley had to pose with some.

Lunch on Wednesday was Mexican - Gwen really liked this since she had not had Mexican since December.

Wednesday night back at the airport and we saw a "Hello Kitty" EVA Air plane and everyone was taking pictures of it - so Stanley needed his picture taken also.

Back at the office Gwen missed Easter Egg decorating and Gwen was playing with the panoramic feature of her phone.

There will be a week lapse in blogs - no blog next week.  We are seeing more of Asia over the Easter and Qing Ming Festival.  We will be in Bali so Patrick can spend some time on the golf course and Gwen on a beach or by a pool.
