Sirkusapinana Koreassa
Sep 25, 2009 (12 photos)

Työantajan käskystä sain karistaa Pariisin toimiston pölyt harteiltani ja lähteä katsastamaan maailmanmenoa Etelä-Korean Incheoniin. Takana on kuusi palaveripäivää ja vielä on edessä yhden päivän messuosastolla patsastelu. Reissuun lähtö itsessään oli jo elämys, sillä ...

Roller-coasters and North Koreans
Feb 6, 2008 (7 photos)

... Another guide made light of the fact while the North Koreans risked life and limb building the tunnel, it is now South Korea that profits, charging a hefty admission for tourists to admire their "handiwork." When we got back, it was time for Allison's ...

Overnight stopover in Seoul
Jun 22, 2009

Flew over to Seoul today, and the flight was GREAT. Managed to convince the flight hostesses that I needed two of each meal, and to try all the kinds of Korean beer they had on offer. I'm a huge fan of Korean beer, but not so much as far as seaweed soup ...

Many hands make light work

... they've put me it. So, to my surprise, but not utter disappointment, I'm not actually in Seoul. South Korea's airport is actually on it's own island called Incheon. Everything is new here, when I first looked out the window of the plane I noticed that ...

WED 05-Nov-08: Seoul airport

... in Amsterdam the original flight was cancelled. New schedule: Frankfurt - Seoul - Manila. Travel-time: don't ask ;-) Just a hint: Incheon airport is a much better place to spend 6 hours of waiting than Frankfurt. The German airport sux. Just 3 words: ...

Finally On Our Way

LAX to ICN
Aug 8, 2008 (4 photos)

After weeks of planning and research trying to mesh schedules and work out timetables, I managed to misread the flight times.  I believed we had scheduled ourselves to fly from LA to Seoul at 1:30 on Thursday.  That was correct.  However, ...

Korea
May 25, 2007

We had a blast exploring the Incheon Airport parking lot after our 14 hr flight to Seoul. Actually our Korean food experience consisded of Airport McDonnalds, I know it's sad, but it was the only thing open at 6am.  Kevin held out and we ate some ...

Altro traghetto altro regalo
Jun 27, 2008 (7 photos)

Siamo ormai a bordo del traghetto Jincheon, che ci portera' in Cina, quando do un'ultima occhiata al porto di Incheon e alla Corea del Sud. Arrivare qui da Seoul e' stato abbastanza facile: un'oretta di treno e poi una corsa in taxi, che qui in Corea sono ...

... before I get back home.  In no less than 4 hours, if all goes well, I should be on the ferry, floating away from Incheon (S.Korea) to Tianjin (China).  I'm carrying a lot more than I though I would, but hopefully I'll get better at it as I go.& ...

Inchon (Seoul), South Korea
Mar 9, 2009 (16 photos)

In 1950, General Douglas McArthur launched a military landing in Inchoen, Korea. It was a surprise military action in that the city was well fortified and has an extremely narrow harbor entrance. But it was a success and the US Marine and Korean Marine ...

Slow Boat to China

MAGLEV = MAGNETIC LEVITATION
Jun 9, 2007

... the subway in Shanghai to the MAGLEV station and then, in no time all, at 431 kms/hour, this super modern elevated rapid train delivered me to the Pudong Airport.  I boarded  my Asiana flight to Inchon, Korea, just outside the capital of Seoul.

Leaving Korea on a Ferry Boat bound for Qingdao, China! It's a 2 hour bus ride from Pyeongtaek up to Incheon and we need to be there no later than 3pm to pick up our actual tickets and go through the processing for departing the country. We're supposed to ...
