Incheon airport

Well, this airport is about 70Km away from where we were staying; so took close to an hour getting there; but the taxi driver was fast; we were doing about 130K/hour down the super duper highway, still passed by this white Merz 2-seater coupe, and couple other Hyuandi 4-door sedans. Yes, the Koreans like to drive fast when possible.

The airport itself is nice. Big with restaurants. If you were hungry, make sure either you eat first before getting thru security or have lounge access. Most airports, for departing passengers are Immigration first then Security. At Incheon, it's the reverse; departing passengers go thru security first then Immigration. Very painless as we do not require to have the computers taking out of the bags; just no liquid. After Immigration, the airport is like a giant U-shape shopping mall. All major branch names. But finding food is kinda hit and miss; mostly sandwiches shops; very discreet hidden away from view. But the shops are different; very large signs and you just cannot miss them.

After an hour and 40 minutes, we arrived back in Shanghai; and another 60 minutes, we were home. Can go to Seoul for the weekend. Thursday to Sunday. No problem there.
