I hate flying. I don’t mind being cramped on a plane, but I hate the whole rigamarole of getting to the airport, checking in, going through security, and dealing with budget airlines. I dumped a bunch of stuff and figured I’d press my luck with luggage that was within 1 kilo of the very low weight allowance. I checked in at a self-service kiosk, which didn’t even give me the option of specifying checked luggage. That freaked me out until I found the counter for Jeju Airlines. They gave me the third degree about my visa status (I don’t have the slip which I’m not sure I lost or was never given).
In any case, I got to Busan and spent the rest of the week in R&R.

It sucks that Starbucks in Korea are going “cashless” so you get forced to by a rechargeable rewards card (which is only good in Korea).
