Now compare that ad with the stereotypical version of riding on Southwest Airlines. My former manager, Taka, went through 4 interviews for her flight attendant's job-- 4! Speaking English is a must. Additionally, you must speak whichever language is native to your company's homebase. I wouldn't be surprised if a third language was required. My flight was from Chicago to Seoul was translated from Korean into English and Japanese, and my flight from Seoul to Bangkok was translated with those three plus Thai. Truly amazing. These woman are smart! I got the vegetarian meals, which were blah, but included lots of fruits and salad, so I was happy. The cutlery wasn't plastic, but metal. The bathroom at toothbrushes and toothpaste and fancy face moisturizers. On the flight from Seoul to Bangkok we got ice cream, which I don't normally like, but devoured because it was my 20th hour in the air and I needed sugar. Ok enough.
I am traveling with only an enormous backpack and a small messenger bag. It's 90+ degrees. I have been up since 4am (it's 1:45pm now). The time difference in 12 hours from Chicago: I didn't have to change my watch. Today I did somethings that I have already done in Bangkok back in 2009. I bought jeans from MBK, they fit perfectly and were cut to the length I wanted. I bought eyeshadow from Boots. I trolled around Siam Square where I had a Kiwi ice shake. I drank a hot espresso- delicious! All in all I might actually be tired. I might actually be delirious. I have another flight to catch tomorrow morning, but today is for relaxing, eating, getting over jet lag.
