| How do I get from Incheon International Airport to Seoul? I don't want to take a taxi since that will probably be too expensive, so I would rather take a train (if there's one that connectc two cities), or the bus. Thanks. |

Plenty of buses to take- to the hotel of your choice, the express bus station, the Kangnam City Air Terminal, or Gimpo domestic airport.
Don't take a taxi unless somebody else is footing the bill.
There are no trains to/from the airport- the rail lines and the bridge to service them haven't been built yet .
(Have they even been started? Rail access as well as a tunnel from Songdo were in the original plans...)

Yep, if you go to Incheon you can see the construction works on the right side of the highway... doesn't look like the railroad will be finished soon though. |

| In my adult class a few months back, I had an exec. from one of the companies subcontracted to built that rail line. He told me the new deadline/approximation is that it will be finished sometime in 2009. Apparently they are running into a lot of union problems. |

| Its a shame they didn't have more union problems a year back, before they started the environmental devastation now wrecking the coastline at songdo. Too late now, they've turned the whole area into a massive construction site- more concrete to ruin the landscape, yippee!! |

Staying in the Seoul area can give you the depressing feeling that this whole country is paved over. I had a nice couple of days seeing Gyeongju for the first time. It really is beautiful country down there. The landscape is unspoiled; no power lines or mammoth apartments to speak of. In fact much of the country is quite green and undeveloped.
Getting away from Seoul can make you more positive about this country. |
