First night in Bucheon

Preparations ended up being a bit frantic as I had a call on Friday afternoon to say my visa was ready and could I fly out the following day? As my flat was all packed up, I agreed. Spent Friday evening with Estelle, we went into town to watch the France v Wales match. Sadly we lost and hopefully not an omen!

The next day, I said goodbye to Estelle at the station and took the train to Heathrow to catch the 9.00pm flight to Incheon. The flight was fine - I flew direct with Asiana and barely noticed the flight was nearly 11 hours. Watched a couple of movies and dozed for a bit. Regretted choosing the steak for my meal instead of the Korean food as the Korean food smelled lush!

Arrived at Incheon airport, cleared immigration and was met by Jae Yoon, one of the directors of my school. Its is a private language academy, commonly known as a hogwan. My apartment wasn’t ready, so the school put me up in a hotel for the night, Hotel Kobos, which was gorgeous and included an electric toilet (no idea what the electric dials did and didn’t want to risk finding out)!
