Watching Sabrina in my Bangkok hotel room...

Globalization is truly an amazing thing. I'll admit that I'm usually on the side of "local! local! local!," and if I have the option I'd rather shop in a homegrown store than in Walmart. But, after 36 hours of non-stop travel, I am truly happy to see Bogie and Audrey Hepburn on the screen. Hooray for globalization!

Today's Recap:

Today's Highlight: "Etiquette Bells" at Incheon Airport

These lovely buttony things are in every bathroom stall at Incheon International Aiport. At first glance, I thought perhaps they were little alarms or something a la the "help, I've fallen and I can't get up!" lady. But no. So much better. They make a flushing sound to mask, I guess, any embarrassing sounds that may emanate from one's stall. I hit it out of curiosity (I swear!) and it makes such a fake sound - like the bubbling brook sound on my nature sounds alarm clock. Hilarious.
