"When I was young I set out to change the world.
When I grew older I perceived that this was too ambitious,
so I set out to change my state.
This too, I realized as I grew older, was too ambitious,
so I set out to change my town.
When I realized that I could not do even this, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man I know that I should have started by changing myself.
If I had started with myself, maybe then I would have succeeded
in changing my family, the town, or even the state-
and who knows, maybe the world."

On the way home!

/
AirAsia X
The time has come to go home! I had made one terrible decision by mistake, but then somehow I have made a pretty lucky decision ever just by chance. There were happy moments, there were special moments, and I recalled of the HAPPY and SPECIAL one (luckily I still have one) when I was heading to Incheon Airport.

Moving my luggages (made up ~50kg) and a wooden sword  to express bus terminal was extremely challenging! Imagine that you bring a 30kg big luggage (with wheels), a 8kg hand carry, a 7kg backpack, a 6kg souvenir bag, and a 1 meter long wooden stick.. All with two hands only! I managed to somehow.. Obviously, I would have problem with the luggage and the wooden sword at airport and as the result some negotiation were going on at the check-in counter and I had to pay... After settling overweight luggage issue and wooden sword issue, i noticed it was Saturday night, most souvenir stores were closed and so I only bought "Soju" (Korean alcohol, ~20%) for my parents. Well, good enough for a drunken night...

Flying with AirAsia X was my first time. It was a different feeling from the experience flying with regular airline. It really saves a lot to go home now. With AirAsia X, I will be able to go home annually if I will study aboard somewhere. Ahh, I want another oversea study.. another adventure! A more interesting one...
