Hello guys!

So today we are at Incheon Airport in South Korea

because today we are going back to LA yes

and guys today we are taking business suit with asiana airlines technically it's business class

but this business suit used to be asiana's first class it was rented in 2019

but the service the space are still very much first class yeah that's crazy it's kind of old

and i think this

first class one of the cheapest first class in the world

but anyway we are flying first class can you imagine that

because i can't i can't i'm

so sorry honestly i never thought these words would ever come out of my mouth

but yeah that's crazy that's crazy oh my god and i'm

so excited to take you with me guys

but i'm kind of nervous i feel like i don't know anxiety

because of the filming yeah

so at incheon airport asiana has a regular business class lounge pretty nice already but

if you're flying in their business suite formerly first class you

get access to a whole different lounge it's called the business suite lounge

and it's honestly on another level super quiet barely

any people and it just feels calm like no announcement

and no rush they have a small buffet with drinks

and light meals oh

and they even have ice cream there are private little rooms where you can relax

and yes and massage chair of course i used it i mean how could i not

that massage chair was everything before a long-haul flight like exactly

what your body needs honestly this lounge just makes you forget you're even at an airport

when it's time to board there is even a separate boarding

lane just for business suite passengers like it's not the regular business class line it's its own private lane oh

Okay guys room tour will be soon

but for now I need to organize my space because the flight will be like 12

hours long and I want to organize everything so I can feel like at home for the next 12 hours Oh, where is Sonia?

I'm over Daishiana, you're on your flight today.

I hope you enjoy your flight.

What?

Oh, your flight?

Okay, nice to meet you.

Thank you, nice to meet you.

Thank you.

Why am I so awkward?

I am always so so awkward.

Let's see.

So guys, it's time for a room tour.

Yes!

And let's start with the best part.

You know what?

We have doors.

We have sliding doors and we can close them.

So let's do it right now.

Right?

How cool is that?

Oh my god.

It's so private and this is our small room in the sky guys.

Just you and me here and that's it.

I don't know, that's so cool.

Just look at that.

First is sit.

It's so spacious.

Like I didn't expect that.

I literally can walk here.

Do you see that?

The seat is so big, like it's even wider than in business class, but I don't know, I just,

I can't talk, I'm so sorry.

And on the right, we have a seat controller.

We can control our positions and control lighting.

Do you see that?

Okay, again.

On the left, we have a cabinet to storage our space.

Here, we have a TV remote.

Yeah, looks like that.

And here, we have a table.

Oh my god.

This table is huge, guys.

No jokes.

It's so huge.

Oh my god.

And here we have another cabinet for storage

And as you can see on the opposite side there is a TV screen Like why it's so big?

I didn't expect that to be that big And under the TV we have a seat, an Ottoman seat, something like that for our legs But also,

let me see, it's a seatbelt So you can use this seat as another seat

and i think you can invite your friend from another suite

and you can share a meal together or something like that oh my god

once you're on board they serve two full meals during the flight lunch

and breakfast for lunch you can choose between a western

or korean menu which i love

and in between meals you can order refreshments as many times

as you want i went with the korean lunch option

and for the appetizer they brought out octopus which looked fancy

and very traditional but unfortunately i don't eat octopus guys um this appetizer i have octopus

and i don't like it i don't eat octopus unfortunately

so we got our main entry and this is a beef with rice

and lettuce leaves or something like

that it's so good unfortunately i can't eat right now

because of my motion sickness oh guys Guys,

the turbulence is crazy right now.

Oh my god.

Do you see that?

Everything is shaking.

118

Okay guys, but this ramen smells amazing.

119

I don't know why, maybe because I'm starving, but usually food on the plane is more delicious.

137

For now, I want just to refresh myself a little.

138

So let's start.

139

Alright, maybe something like that.

140

I guess it has to build in...

141

I guess it's called a new one.

142

It's kind of hard to improve your life.

143

I guess that's how it works.

144

It's called a new one.

145

It's called a new one.

146

It's called a new one.

147

I mean, it's called a new one.

152

I'm going

153

to go to the next video.

154

So guys, it's our breakfast time

155

and this is our last service of meal of this flight

156

and we will land like about in an hour or something like that but yeah

157

I chose the omelette for breakfast and wow guys it was soft,

158

cheesy and actually felt freshly made like how is that even possible on a plane?

159

I was genuinely impressed And you know, even if this isn't the fanciest or newest first class out there,

160

it was so comfortable.

161

I felt taken care of, calm, and just really grateful.

162

I genuinely hope that one day every one of you gets to experience something like this.

163

Or even better, you truly deserve that kind of peace, comfort, and little joy in the sky.

164

in the future if I will be in the first class again I hope so but yeah and

165

if parts of this vlog felt a little awkward thank you

166

for understanding it I tried not to film people around me out of respect

167

and I was a little shy not very confident I didn't want to disturb anyone

168

so I held back but now I I realized they probably didn't even hear or notice me.

169

I should have let myself enjoy the moment more fully.

170

So, I will keep learning.

171

And next time, I will try to be braver.

172

Yes, thank you for being here with me.

173

Thank you for supporting my channel.

174

I love you so much.

175

Bye-bye, guys.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
