Taking my Final International Trip for the Year and visiting Seoul, South Korea via Incheon Airport (ICN). Was a brief trip for a few days and stayed with relatives. Hung out at the Mall and ate at various Restaurants around town. Uneventful, best kind of trip.
Day 1 - Flight to ICN
Sat in Economy and it's quite good the Service & Amenities. Free Beer, Free Movies and a palatable Meal.
The Meal wasn't half bad and generally I've found anytime Airlines do a Chicken & Rice Meal Combo it warms up nicely. The Kochujang Sauce was a brilliant idea and made this a fairly delicious meal.
A few hours later in the flight they served Shin Ramen. Was first time I had that on a plane and while it was okay, was too salty and I just ate the noodles and skipped the soup.
I just stuck with more beer!
Day 2 - Seoul
It was a Delivery Food Party and stayed in all day and ordered four (4) different meals (sadly, only remembered to snap a pick of the Tonkatsu Bento):
The one shocker was the jump in Prices. Pizza is now comparable to the USA and was about $20 for a Pizza (roughly 25,000 Won). I swear a few months ago it was easily $15-16 and even less a few years prior.
Day 3 - Seoul Shopping Malls (Lotte?)
Running A/C at home is expensive these days and we hit the Shopping Malls to stay cool. I lost track of where we were and think we ended up a Lotte Branded Mall. We had Mexican Food for Lunch (kinda weird when you think about it...but it tasted okay).
Went for Paht Bin Soo (Green Tea Style).
Then a Citrus / Green Tea Drink?
Dinner - Fried Pork! This taste brought back memories and while its interesting to eat Western Style Foods w/ Korean Spin...I really seek sometimes that old school Korean Cuisine. It's by no mean 'traditional' as it's heavy on the protein, but it tasted excellent.
ICN - Return Home. I took my time and while I had about an hour to kick it, I was too tired and just waited by the Gate home. One shocker for me was all the Coffee Shops at the Mall shut down around 8:30 - 9 pm. I'll remember to get some Coffee before then.
