A night in South Korea

10 hours of flying and we arrived a Incheon international airport in Seoul, Korea. As part of our flight with Korean airlines, we got an overnight stopover with free accommodation and meals.... And yes, it was as good as it sounds

After making our way through customs and getting our first passport stamp for this trip, we were herded into an area, given a sticker to put on our shirts (just to make us look extra touristy) and made our way onto a bus. We got to see some of Korea from the bus window, but really the main attraction was the 5 star hotel, Korean buffet for dinner (much to Mike's excitement) and to top it off, Harry Potter on tv, featuring Korean subtitles. 

Although we were only here one day, we learned that Koreans love their K-pop, and it was on most of the tv channels. If anyone wants to see what I mean, look up PSY-Gangnam Style. We heard it twice in 30 minutes and it's been stuck in my head since. At least I'll be entertained on the next leg to Rome!
