I am always amazed that no matter where I go in the world, I run across McDonald's. I'll never forget the first time that I was walking down the street in Tokyo and saw my first foreign McDonald's. I had a bowl of McNoodles that day -- it was 15 years ago.
This McDonald's is actually in a shopping mall in downtown Seoul called the International COEX. It is a huge underground shopping mall (200 stores) and was connected to my hotel. Very cool.

I'm writing this in the United Airlines Red Carpet lounge in Narita airport near Tokyo. It's 2AM Dallas time, but it is the middle of the day here in Japan. I am waiting on my connection to another Asian country. That will be my third airplane today and I have a bus ride to follow that. I left my house in Dallas 20 hours ago and I have another 8 to go before I reach my hotel. I am officially declaring that a long day (phew).
All is not lost, however. I am chatting with Garry Conn via GTalk as I write this. He is still up in the middle of the night generating content about how to make money online as usual. It's funny, because with the internet, he has no reason to suspect that I am in Tokyo aside from the fact that I told him. The technology is simply amazing. The first thing I did when I got off the plane was to check on Michael Phelps. Looks like he won his eighth Olympic Gold Medal while I was somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. Well, on this day, swimming meant something very good for him -- for me, not so much. Needing to swim during a scheduled international flight over the pacific is never a good thing. Luckily, no swimming for me today.
