After a brutal 18 hours in airports and planes we arrived in the early evening. I was surprised that my CDMA blackberry roams here (no data though). So I didn&rsquo;t need to rent a handset. The airport was overall very efficient and we were out within 30 minutes after landing, which was a nice reminder on how horrible and inefficient most Canadian airprots are (as well as Canadian Border Control). A quick bus ride to our hotel and we ventured out to the small roads behind our hotel, where we found a local korean grill house. For those who don&rsquo;t know, many korean restaurants actually bring the raw meats to you and they are cooked in front of you on a gas grill. The meats are marinated and absolutely delicious.</p>
