Trip to Australia day 0: Incheon, Korea

Once again, it's time to board the plane. It's been the end of a productive day, with many surprises and twists.

This morning I left Tokyo at 06:20 and arrived in Incheong at 09:05 (no time difference). 

Breakfast on the plane, included in the price of the ticket.

My connecting flight to Sydney from Incheon would not leave till 19:05 the same day, meaning I had a whole 10 hours to figure out what to do with. I do have a considerable amount to revise for the upcoming end of sems, but I didn't want to spend a whole 10 hours studying... 

Just as I was approaching customs, I came across this brochure...

Inside, I found this...

It's free, it enables me to see some of Korea, and I was allowed to make a reservation. So why not! And I'm glad I did. As the description says, we visited two places, Wolmi Park and Shinpo Market, by bus, and for free. (had to pay for my own lunch at the Markets though).

Cartoonised figure of the ancient king and queen of Korea. Around it, you can see there is quite a lot of recent snowfall. That in itself was a great experience too!

This is the culture exhibition museum in Wolmi Park. We took a glance inside...

...And came across the mascots of the 2014 Asia Games held in Korea. Also...

Dress up as the king of Korea! :D Others on the tour seized the opportunity to dress up as queens and princesses too. For privacy reasons, I'll only be uploading the photo of myself.

Sinpo Internal Market.

A squiz inside.

This is where I decided to eat lunch. Although my Hangul was hopeless and so was their English, by the end of lunch, I became pretty good buds with the owners of the store. So friendly! I had some sort of crispy chicken. Rather than describe it, let me show you.

It was delicious. And SO MUCH. For the equivalent of AUD11, I ate chicken and more chicken till I could eat no more... and took half with me as takeaway lol.

Also came across these cool colourful buns.

It was an excellent day. I highgly recommend this Incheon Transfer Tour ^^
