It's pathetic.

One of the most exciting memories of travelling to Russia is the stopover in Incehon Airport, Seoul, South Korea. How sad is that? I was going to a land that may as well be Mars to most Filipinos, but what I was itching to see was Incheon International Airport.

I was air sick almost the entire flight from Manila to Korea and I hadn't even noticed the cute Korean guy sitting beside me. You only see in movies or read in books that a woman actually gets to sit beside a cute guy in an airplane, and it happened to me when I was green with airsicknes. Well, I was such in a bad shape that I didn't care if the man thought I looked wretched because I felt like hell.

I arrived in Incehon at 5.30am. My legs felt like jelly, my head was swimming, and my stomach was still somewhere over Taiwan when I disembarked from the tarmac. I thought that nothing was going to make me feel the slightest bit better as I walked miserably towards the transfer desk. Russia? Siberia? What the hell was I getting myself into? I couldn't even survive a flight to Seoul, and its been my goal to go to South Korea since falling like a headless chicken for Bi.

And then I saw him. or saw it.

There on my left, dominating the the middle section of a twenty feet high wall, was a lighted billboard of Bi smiling down on passengers while holding an SK telecom cellphone. I swear, my headache vanished and I stupidly felt like smiling back at him.
