So, over the weekend I had the pleasure of seeing Korea for the first time on account of visiting a good friend teaching English there. Andrew lives in Boryeong, a coastal city roughly two and a half hours south of Seoul. Because I figured I’d have plenty of reasons to see Seoul in the future but no other reason to ever go to Boryeong short of visiting Andrew, we decided to save exploring the capital city for another time.
By the way, to get to Boryeong from Incheon Airport takes over 3 hours. Imagine getting off a 15-hour plane ride and going through customs and immigration, and then hopping on an express metro to Seoul, transferring to a train at Seoul Station, transferring at another station, then taking a taxi to finally reach where you’re staying.
