As far as work goes, today was pretty easy. We didn't have to be at the client's office until 1:00, so my co-worker and I went to breakfast, walked down the street a little bit, and came back. I don't know what he did after that, but I walked around a bit more and took some photos before getting ready. Then it was off to the brand-spankin' new office building, a different off-site office of the project manager, then back. We tried to help with what we were asked, but much of the time was spent listening to them all talk to each other in Korean. That ended at around 5:30, and we came back with questions to send back to people at the office. I'm going to check out the dinner buffet soon, but I'll probably end up right back here in a few hours. In the meantime, a few photos.

The view out my hotel window, of the city in one direction and the harbor in another:




The view inside my room's mini-fridge. I am not going to drink the can labelled "Pocari Sweat", mostly because I have no idea what kind of animal that is.


EDIT: Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] delphica, now I know what Pocari Sweat is. Now, the stuff in the black bottle (on the left) is scary. It's labeled "ADH Project" and has a yellow strip sealing it. On the strip is the only other English words on the bottle: "Hangover, Recovery from Fatigue Condition", "Pacificating Action of Alcohol", "Dissolution of Alcohol", "For Hotel", "Dissolution of Ammonia Gas", and "Shampinion Extract Added".

That looks so pretty. That mini-fridge is a little odd though. Did any of it taste good?

I don't intend to sample. Hotels always charge you through the nose if you take from the mini-bar.

Neat pictures! I remember Pocari Sweat, some of the kids in my dorm in college used to occasionally bring it back from home after breaks -- it's kind of like Gatorade (you know like a sports drink with a vague chemical fruit taste), so you're safe drinking it if you have a zombie attack or something and have to barricade yourself in your hotel room and make use of all your supplies.

Ah, OK. I'd figured it was a Red Bull-type energy drink, so I wasn't far off.

I first saw it on Engrish.com

Yay, you posted! Glad you arrived safe and sound.

Isn't Engrish fun?

I *have* to take a picture of a sign I found in the Incheon airport explaining how to use the automatic faucets. =D

That first picture is cool! What always amazes me about cities in Asia (and other places I guess) is how damn compact everything is. Buildings just crammed in on top of each other.

(Of course, I haven't been to NYC, so maybe it's not just confined to other countries.)

Great view from your room! How big is the hotel room?

A "Deluxe Twin": 1 queen-size and one single bed, pretty much standard size. Definitely not as big as the rooms in your hotel. ;)
