Flying out of Korea we noticed that there are a lot of lovely islands and noted the stark contrast between the infrastructure of South and North Korea as we were afforded views of both places during our flight.

China was quite an experience as there was not a cloud in the sky. Instead we were treated with an unadulterated bird’s eye view of the country for as far as the eye can see. We also noticed enormous wind farms throughout the country.
For lunch on the plane we requested the traditional Korean meal and had some dishes consisting of rice, fermented vegetables, beef and spicy sauce which you mix together yourself. After we ate we were instructed, much to our dismay, to close our window blinds, thus ending our admiration of the world below. It was a timely occurrence however, as the clouds set in just as we approached the Russian border. We were also lucky enough to be able to keep a track of where we were via cameras situated on both the front and the undercarriage of the plane, which were live-streamed through our personal monitors. On occasion when we opened the blind we were able to view the icy lands of Russia as we flew overhead.
