Transitional

The Incheon to Shanghai to Frankfurt connection made clear to me that I am departing the familar for the foreign. The 18 hour transit felt bizzare. 

It could've been the slurry soundsof hushed German and the choppy Mandarin. 
It could be the resulting absence of Korean or English.
It could be the eerieness of the deadened Shanghai international terminal.
It could be the excitement of getting to visit Europe.
It could be chinese stewardesses asking me in Chinese if I wanted anything to drink.
It could I was aware that this is the first time in my life that I am in a country where I know no one.
It could be that I'm just sleep deprived.
Regardless, off to Frankfurt
