The flight from Sydney to Seoul could have been relatively uneventful. It wasn’t. Largely because I was sitting behind a real-life version of the animated kid from the movie ‘Up’. Seriously, it was surreal. Everything about this 8 year old Korean boy reminded me of the character from the film. His cartoon hair, glimmering eye-whites and impossibly fat fingers had my full attention, which is probably why I remained relatively calm when he proceeded to entertain himself by dropping his iTouch on my head. The game was mercifully short and the egg on my temple is now serving as a tender reminder of my brief interaction with an animation masquerading as a real little boy.
Beyond the kid, not much to report. The hostesses were hot and the food was shit.
