A Trip to Mongolia – Getting There

Every journey starts with getting to your destination somehow. Sometimes that goes smoothly and sometimes not.

There seems to be one or the other direct flight from Tokyo to Ulaanbaatar but they didn’t show up when I researched this trip and I ended up flying via Seoul.

The flight from Tokyo to Seoul was 90 minutes delayed due to the delay of the incoming aircraft, which didn’t bother me too much, since I had five hours of layover in Incheon. The flight was packed and in the row in front of me sat what I suppose was a Chinese man in his fifties and his twenty something daughter. Maybe the girl was tired of her dad or maybe she had a fight with him, because she was constantly hiding her face from him behind an uchiwa fan (cheap plastic and paper fans usually given as presents for advertisement purposes in Japan) with some boy band guy on it. Now that was awkward, lol.

In the four people row to my right was a Korean mom and dad with two children in their midst aged around four and three. Those two behaved like little devils terrorizing their surroundings. The only ones who didn’t care were the stoic parents
