Pretty nice digs

Here at the Vambien II . Here' a graphic of my room:






















So far everything works great, once one figures out the idiosyncrasies (e.g. the lights only work if the room key is left in a little slot just inside the door). The Internet connection is great, except that my laptop plug doesn't fit the adapter I brought (not like I would have wanted to check that at home or anything. heh.), so for now I'm on battery power and better cut this short till I get a new adapter.

Today's itinerary:
Tour Yonsei University, including a several informative workshops/lectures. We'll be having lunch and dinner there, the latter a formal affair with the university president, so today is a suit-and-tie day.

I'm gonna head out for breakfast in just a second, but I want to end with this thought that sorta blows my mind: I never experienced the night of July 26. We flew out of Chicago at 1PM, and since we headed west, stayed ahead of nightfall all the way till we landed at 4PM on the afternoon of July 27 (2AM CST). So night came and went but I didn't see or feel it. I suppose one could avoid nights forever, with enough jet fuel. But that's not something I'd want to do -- as it is I feel sorta forlorn for the one I missed.
