"The Wright Brothers created the single greatest cultural force since the invention of writing. The airplane became the first World Wide Web, bringing people, languages, ideas, and values together."
~Bill Gates

Korean Air makes their guests as comfortable as possible. Upon boarding the plane, every passenger receives a green package on their seat. The green package contains green socks, a green toothbrush, and a green sleeping eye-mask. This is in addition to the standard blanket, pillow, and bottle of water. In addition, each seat has their own computer screen with individual options to play games, follow the planes physical patterns, watch movies, documentaries, or television shows. Due to Monsoon rain and winds, our flight took an extra hour. The perfect amount of time needed to watch five movies on the 13 hour flight. This is more movies than I've watched in the last three months.

We arrived in the late evening and then all 40 U.S. teachers met for a quick meal before finding some deep sleep.
