Traveling!

Pacific Lutheran University, J-Term 2013, Traditional Chinese Medicine students and faculty.  Everybody is packed and anxious to begin our journey. 
 
We have made our first leg of the journey today. The students were all packed and ready to go and we arrived safe and sound in Incheon, Korea. The flight on Korean Airlines was amazing; the best service I have ever received :))!
 
Although our flight was long, the on-board activities were varied. One could sit and watch recently released movies right from the screen in front of you, play a variety of video games, track how fast the plane was moving and altitude, pin-point the exact location of the plane on a world map, and you could see how much longer one had until we arrived at our destination - so nobody asked me, "how much longer until we get there?"

The picture below is taken in the Incheon, Korea Airport immediately after we landed. We are all feeling a bit tired but ready to start our adventure and studies.
 

Once we got through customs, we were welcomed by the biggest chandelier I have ever seen! It was so beautiful, that this picture doesn't seem to give it justice.

 
UFO or giant beetle?  This is on-top of one of the terminals at the Incheon Airport.  I'm not sure what the purpose of it is...
