Finally I reached Incheon Airport at 10pm+ on 31/1/11. Then took me about 45 minutes to get tru’ to the immigration. So many people!
First thing when I got out of the arrival hall was to find a place to settle down in the airport but the transit area was already closed! Then I thought I should find out how should I head to Gimpo Airport in the morning to catch my flight to Busan. It wasn’t easy, I was practically lost, not knowing how to read or speak Korean. Luckily there’s English signs but still not much of help as I need to do an airport transfer.
Was so frustrated. Decided to go to the toilet to change into warm clothes and wash my face and guess what?!?! I heard the countdown! Damn! I’m in the toilet welcoming the new year! What a memory. I remember there’s a joke circulating on Facebook about it, warning people not to go to the toilet near 12am or else you’ll be coming out from the toilet the next year. It happened to me! *LOL*
8 hours of transit, trying to find my way to Gimpo Airport, on and off sleeping and loitering around the airport to kill time. It was strange that there’s no dinner served on the flight hmm…
I got hungry at 2am, bought McD set meal, Bulgogi Burger (KRW4600). After that, continue loitering around and sleeping on and off in different parts of the airport. Such pity… All alone, so helpless…
Finally I decided to use the AREX to Gimpo instead of the limousine bus. Went to the vending machine but it was closed. So waited until 4.45am to go over to the train station again. Finally! Got on the train and follow the crowd when got off the train at Gimpo Airport. I was so worried and scared that time as there’s no foreigner at all!
To be continued…
