Can anyone get an international flight from Korea on this site: http://flyasiana.com/english/
I just can't get to that section, it doesn't load, even using the IE it insists on

Works fine for me. Just book the flight through some travel portal.

Thats what I've tried but redirects me to their site

Man, I want some Fritos.  I've been trying to maintain a ~1500 calorie diet since I've got to drop like fifteen pounds ASAP.  IT SUCKS.

Just don't eat until 5pm.

I picked up a taste for Calvados. 1 or two small glasses every now and then.

Or 1 unwashed big gulp cup when I am pondering the universe.

Other than that, nothing.

We should have stayed part of Mexico.

We should have stayed part of Mexico.

Maybe we would have if they had just made us our own state and didn't overturn their constitution

There's an exhibition about Emperor Maximilian of Mexico in one of the museums here. It features the suit he was executed in (including bloodstains). It would be the second set of bloodstained Habsburg clothes I see . . . how many of those are out there?
