Hey guys,

Since you all is my boys, wanted to let you know the details of the trip I just started. Gonna just copy and paste an e-mail I sent to my folks with my itinerary.

• September 27: Arrive Seoul, South Korea. Go to “Westin Chosun” hotel.

• October 8: Be in Shanghai to begin Intrepid Tour “Best of China.”

• October 21: Conclude tour in Beijing.

• October 22 – November 9: Visit China/Japan independently.

• November 10: Be in Kathmandu to begin Intrepid Tour “Kathmandu to Delhi.”

• November 24: Conclude Tour in Delhi.

• November 28: Be in Bangkok to begin Intrepid Tour “The Great Indochina Loop.” [This tour includes Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.]

• December 26: Conclude tour in Bangkok.

• January 5: Be in Melbourne Australia for the Aussie Millions.

I'm really excited. I think I'm going to start updating my blog at mlagoo.blogspot.com regularly during my trip, regaling whoever is silly/bored enough to visit with tales of my misadventures.

Anyway writing this from my first-class lounge in Tokyo. Gonna hop on a plane to Seoul in a few minutes and check into my hotel. Check out these pics of the hotel/room I'm staying in:

Although hopefully I won't be spending too much time there, apart from the WCOOP ME. Gonna hook up with a couple friends who are in Seoul right now and wander around once I arrive tonight.

Time zone difference is 13 hours so WCOOP ME starts at like 5:30 AM. Heh.

Also the flight over was incredible. Took first-class on this airline called All Nippon Airways, with these amazing seats with a plugin for your laptop, which also reclined to 100% horizontal and came with a down comforter and pillow so you could sleep. Nice way to spend 13 hours in the air. I seriously was like never uncomfortable. Thank you PokerStars!
