As usual I find myself stuck in an airport (Seoul) with time on my hands. The one time I gave myself extra time to get get checked in there was no traffic and no crowds to slow me up. Though there are worse places to be than Incheon "International Hub of the Year" (all the airports in Asia lay claim to some accolade or another), I've walked around for an hour and had my fill of looking at $300 bottles of whisky, and hideous $150 ties.
I did have my first Turkish ice cream cone "Made with Real Goat's Milk" so I guess it hasn't been a total bust.
The Marriott in Seoul features a massive breakfast buffet. Asian hotels err on the side of overkill in these sorts of things, but the Marriott holds the blue ribbon in my books. Besides the usual eggs/bacon/sausage/toast, it features chefs making bespoke omelets and a variety of odd, Asian breakfasty "stuff" as well as the Korean take on what should be on the western brekkie menu:
Not really sure what the above is, but it was fishy and extremely spicy. It woke up my mouth, which I guess its supposed to do.
You just have to love a breakfast buffet which includes ice cream and cookies.
I had both, along with samples of all of the above.
All for the reasonable price of $32.
The staff at the Marriott got extremely agitated with my photos. They were afraid I was working undercover as an agent of the evil Hyatt empire I guess.
Losing the breakfast buffet edge is a serious business in the cut throat world of hotel catering.
This "What I had for Breakfast Post " shows you how airports can mess with your mind.
I need a smoke (you can still do that in Asian airports).
Hope everyone is healthy and happy

well, daring to eat the unidentifiable "spicy and fishy thing" proves your not so middle aged after all;)
