Destination: Mongolia!!

Today is the day that I leave for Mongolia! Since Mongolian Air's flight booking (and website) were undergoing technical difficulties for the end of June, I was stuck with a transfer in Beijing. That would be quite alright, except that the transfer time is 12 hours... Ah well! At 6pm, I went to Incheon Nat'l airport and flew to Beijing, where I arrived at 8pm (Korean Air is simply wonderful, by the way!). So, since I didn't really want to go through the hassle of booking a hotel, I just decided to sleep in the terminal. It was actually very nice.

Oh, by the way, the new Beijing airport is absolutely huge. Just the "E" terminal has 56 gates, so imagine the other letters! They even have trains and buses to connect the different parts of the airport! Crazy!

The enormous airport (one room of many, many, many...)


My bed!


Sleep time!


Really cool statue located just before int'l departures.
