The Land of the Morning Calm

According to stories, Korea was once named by a Ming Dynasty emperor as "chaohsien" which means morning freshness suitable for Korea because of its spellbinding beauty, mountains, and clear waters, from then on, Korea earned its name as  Land of the morning calm
Now a days, Korea is a highly developed country, a global leader in technology and innovation, according to Wikipedia, South Korean enjoys the world's fastest internet connection, and renowned for it's famous pop culture influence world wide..but of course Korean wave! I was really looking forward to this trip, since I've been planning about it in the last omg, 2 years, finally I will get to see my motherlandia! 

Welcome to Incheon 


We landed early morning at Incheon International airport- the largest and the main gateway of South Korea located west city of Seoul. 





After the immigration which turned a breeze we went to our first itinerary: Pick up our portable wifi booked via Klook. Since we're doing this trip DIY, wifi is just necessary for checking the train connections and schedule. Go ahead and visit the site to check on affordable wifi rates! 

Queuing to pick up our wifi. Located 1/F Gate 6-7, KT Roaming Center, open 24hrs daily.

AREX (Airport Railroad Express)  is a rail line connecting Incheon International Airport to the main Seoul station. Perhaps the most efficient way to reach Seoul is by taking this train of course bus and private car is also readily available within the airport. 
First, time to reload our T-money cards. Korea is so easy to travel, with using T-Money card you could access most train line and buses. We simply load it first with KRW20,000, should be enough for the next trips.  




Yes, train's last stop is at Seoul station



Be courteous as much as possible! 

Finally arrived at Seoul Station! 

Look out for signage's and just follow until the Seoul exit to your next stop over.  Do not be afraid to ask if you needed help, Korean's are in fact very helpful. Next, to our hotel for check in!


Cheers,
