14:00 Singapore Changi Airport<\/strong><\/p>\n

Was in office in the morning to clear all my work and took urgent \u00c2\u00bd day to catch the afternoon flight to Seoul. I went straight home to get my luggage before heading off to the airport. As I showed up for the flight at the last minute, I was told by the airport counter staff that I might not have any inflight meals. Oh dear! I had not even have my lunch yet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The flight was quite empty and I had the whole row of seats to myself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

LUNCH! I was given lunch. I finished the whole thing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pan roasted chicken with mushroom onion sauce, seasonal vegetables and rosemary garlic potatoes<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Celeriac root salad with shrimp<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

10:35 PM (KST) Incheon(ICN) International Airport<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I supposed that the plane was parked at the end of the airport. I had to take the airport shuttle train to the Passenger Terminal.<\/p>\n

11:10 PM Leaving Incheon(ICN) International Airport<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally left the airport after clearing customs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are service officers at the taxi stand outside the airport. They got an organge cab (international cab) for me. I was told that the cab fee will be around 55k won. It was a long ride to the hotel.<\/p>\n

00:10 AM Grand Hyatt Seoul<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arrived at the hotel after an hour. The cab fee was 46k + 7.7k (Toll Fee) = 53.7k won, almost 55k won!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Got my room key from the hotel reception. JR was in the room when I arrived. He had fled in Seoul from Taipei much earlier than me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

JR having dinner. He ordered Samgyetang, simmered chicken stuffed with rice with ginseng broth. No photo taken as JR was too anxious to eat when the food arrived.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Crumpled bedsheet…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I was hungry too so we ordered another set of meal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kalbi gui, barbecued Hanwoo bee ribs with soy and garlic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ate the expensive agn\u00c3\u00a8s b chocolates.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Gift from JR \u00e2\u2122\u00a5.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

iPhone charger + speaker provided in the room. Listening to my Korean songs in Seoul :).<\/p>\n
