July 30, 2010 - Seoul, South Korea

It's been almost a year since I've posted an entry and now it's time to start the blog up again. The reason being is another travel adventure. This time to Seoul, South Korea.

I don't think I'll be posting everyday like I did last time but I'll try to post as many updates as possible. Come visit often and you might be be surprised.

My friend Carl and I left Toronto on Thursday about 12:22pm. We had a stopover in Minneapolis where the plane was delayed and then another in Tokyo (I miss you Tokyo!).

We arrived about 9:15pm Friday to Incheon airport in Korea. Here's Carl and a fellow Canadian named Joey we met on the flight waiting for our baggage.


As some of you may already know, I won a free limo ride from the airport to our hotel in Seoul: visitkoreayear. We saved quite a bit of money with this because our hotel in Seoul was pretty far from the airport.

As we exited the Arrivals, we were looking for our driver:


You may have missed it but if you look closely at the above pic, there's a sign on the railing that says 'Tommy Chung Please come to exit "B"'. I hope you can make out this closeup pic:


We came out of exit "C" but didn't bother to head to exit "B". We went looking for our cell phone rental pickup place first. After we picked up our cell phones, we then went to exit "B". Two ladies were waiting for us:


It was a bit embarassing having all this attention at the airport with everyone looking on. They greeted us, took pics, escorted us to our ride, gave me a gift bag and sent us off. It was fun and a nice way to start off our trip.
