Can someone post up pics of Incheon. If you've got a digital camera, take some or lots of pictures of Incheon. All kinds of pictures to give me an idea of where I'm heading to.

The pictures could also be of places of interest , restaurants, downtown?

[mindmetoo]

Sure we'll get right on that. In the mean time, use Google images?

There's still lots of boats coming and going...

HAHAHHAHA!! I knew someone was bound to do something like that. Actually, those pictures look better than some areas of Incheon.

Ahhhhh....Incheon.
Just the name alone brings a tear to the eye.

Damn, I can't get to sleep with all that artillery.

Seriously, Incheon is a nice enough city. Looks like Seoul, just smaller.

mostly rice paddies and dung shacks...a few brick buildings and they even paved the main street last year....

not bad if you don't mind the stench of human dung that is spread on the rice paddies soon

I've just uploaded pics from a overnight visit I made to Incheon a few months back, here. Incheon's pretty bleak and industrial in parts, but it's worth a visit, especially the Chinatown/Incheon/Wolmido areas.

The city's got a raffish charm and the surliness of most of the locals I encountered is almost endearing.

Its probably best you do not see any pictures of Incheon before you come. Anyways, the image quality would not be very good on the pics given the toxic clouds that permanently hang over the city. There is the same ambience in Incheon that there is in certain parts of the industrial corridor in Poland. Minus the backwards locals and the whiff of open sewage. In some parts of the city, you would be forgiven for thinking you have been transported back to the late seventies. No, theres no disco or block parties, but there is faded neon, multi-coloured leather jackets and a palpable sense of failure in the air; God gave us the chance to build a city and this is what we managed?

Guards for McArthur angers civic groups
Since 2002, Incheon police have been guarding the statue in the city's Freedom Park for fear of vandalism. Anti-U.S. demonstrations took place in the park in 2002 and 2003, according to the police. Civic groups in Incheon want the statue to be moved to another location so police will not waste time and energy on the mission.

Thanks for those that put up some pics.

The address of where I'll be going is

2RA-204 Si.HWA Ind. Park
Si-Heung-Kyunggi-Do

I think the first part is the street address and the second part the city?

I don't know. If it looks like that I might reconsider the contract I was thinking of signing.
