The main city of south korea is seoul which is such a beautiful city in south korea based on my opinion.

The view inside Incheon airport

So thankful to the God because last week I given a chance to visit this romantic and beautiful country. I visit for a week since 7 july until 13 july. Although I visit for student summit programe that was not mean I have no time to travel around. The programe which I join provides and gives us opportunity to visit some popular destination. What destination which we visit? just check this out.
     When you arrive and landing on Incheon airport by yourself and don’t know what you wanna do and it was your first time going abroad by yourself, don’t worry just calm and relax. Follow the directions, you have to pass immigration passport checks, baggages claim and after that pass the customs desk. The most important things which you have to do is carrying everytime and everywhere your passport, and don’t lost your passport because that is your important identity card when you being a foreigner in oversea and passport is such the most important key for you to turn back to your own country. When you visit and arrive in others country you have to fill customs card and fill/mention by writing on the card what are goods or stuff which you bring from your country. You don’t allow to bring such as stuff like knife, or sharpen stuff, gun, narcotics, so many cigarrets (because it has limitation) and also parfum has limitation also. After you pass the procedure of immigration an etc, its time go to beautiful city of seoul. Yeayy.. but wait!!! How can we go there? By walking? Omg if you wanna die you can do it. Don’t worry because I have solution.

Situation in the train

There are many option how you can go to seoul city from incheon airport. We know if incheon airport position placed far away from the main city. The options First, you can go to main city by transportation taxy if you have so much money to spent, second alternatives you can go by bus it’s about 10.000 won, and the more cheaper way you can take is going seoul city by airport train because you only spend your money about 4000 won. But if you a new be visiting seoul, I suggesting you to go seoul city by bus, you’ll get dizzy if you don’t know the route of the station, because when you transit and if you should move to other train it takes energy and little bit difficult moreover if you bring lot of heavy baggage. The time we need to go seoul city from Incheon is about 2 hour and has no more traffic by bus, I mean it so fast bruh. If you wanna go everywhere by train, you have to take a train map in station sometimes it provides for tourists and you can take it for free or you can download “kakaometro” in application stores in android, it will ease you to go everywhere by train because this application provides the direction of train station in seoul.
 My destination first is hotel. The hotel name is Ibis Ambassador Hotel and the address is in insadong. So I take the train which has blue direction and I’d transit in Gongdeok station, after that I moved to train which have purple color direction with number 5 to Jongno 3 (sam)-ga station. So if you go by train and you holding a map in your hand you should notice the color, number and station.
