From Incheon Airport To Busan

This is the signboard i saw the moment i step out from the plane. I was like SEIOUSLY? I'M HERE?? and it all went super overwhelmed when people around me were speaking korean. Is like I'm watching reality show at home through my laptop but without the subtitles under the screen.. LOL.. apparently I'm able to understand a little korean when they speaks to me. Thanks to my everyday routine of watching korean show and listening to song

So this was in the arrival hall and everyone is wearing long pants with jacket cause i was smart enough to forget to brought along jacket and i shivered all the way from Malaysia to Seoul with my empty stomach and of course i didn't catch much sleep.

So after all the usual airport procedure, I grab my luggage and walking towards the arrival hall. I'm not worried about what to do next as this super cute 동생 send me such a details step by step of how to travel from Incheon Airport to Busan. 

Once I get out from the arrival hall, I follow the instruction that 동생 given to me and went to the KTX (Korean Train Express) counter to get my ticket from Incheon Airport - Seoul Station - Busan Station. If you don't speak korean, don't worry, as you are still in airport area, most of the staff in airport are able to speak a little English. The receptionist was so friendly that she arrange the time with the cheapest ticket that i could get for me and trying very hard to explain to me why she chose this time for me and how do i travel from Incheon Airport to Seoul Station to Busan. 

She even circle the time and places that i will have to arrive and depart. Korean are just so friendly and helpful! by the way, this ticket cost 64,200won (about RM180) which include subway ticket from Incheon Airport to Seoul Stationand KTX from Seoul Station to Busan. I know right is a little pricy. 

I was exhausted after whole night of suffering on the plane. This is the pale me sitting at the airport hall waiting for time to pass. The most torturing moment during travel was to wait for time to past. 

After some rest, I continue to walk from the airport to subway station. All the signboard are written in English, Japanese and Mandarin, I am not worry that I will get lost!

This is what I get after showing the printed ticket to the person before passing the gate to subway. 

Subway entrance from the Airport.

I got so hungry and I went in to a convenient store to get some sandwich. I grab a sandwich and was about to pay, this ajussi speak something in korean and i gave him this "huh?" look, and he was like are you korean (in korean of course, cause i was able to understand a little), then i reply in english saying 'no' :) then he continue say 'free! free!' and pointing to the sandwich and the drinks... i was like oh.... he meant I can have a free drinks with purchasing the sandwich! so nice right, u get a free drink with just buying a sandwich! Malaysia got so good or not u tell me!!! Then ajussi continue to speak to me in his broken english asking me where am i from? and do i travel here alone and stuff. 아저씨 너무 귀여워. after greeting 감사합니다 with a 90 degree bow, i walk towards the railway and enjoy my first meal in Korea~

In the subway train

So this is how the train looks like, so clean and neat! Cause i bought express ticket which normally korean will only took the normal train, so this train is so quiet that i can only heard myself talking with a new Indonesian friend i met in the subway.

About 40min travel (although it is express wtf), i finally arrive at Seoul Station! 

So when i was walking towards my train to Busan, this girl came up to me and speak in Korean which I don't understand at all, then she realize I'm not korean and start to speak in english :" i want take picture... you... okay?" i was like huh why?? for what?? then she was scratching her head and say:" i student.... photography... work... school...." then scratching her head again. So i was guessing she mean she is a photography student who needs to capture some picture of someone (me? with a super pale face that travel in the train station wtf?) then I smile to her and say "ok ok, can can" so she smile and keep staying thank you thank you and all. LOL... then i request a photo of her and me. :)

I was so tired the moment i step into the train and this is the only photo I got before I fall into deep sleep~

After about 3 hours 15min train, I finally arrive in Busan station. 동생 was there waiting for me at the arrival hall to pick me up. :)

some shops in Busan Station

This is how Busan Station looks from the outside!

Then we walk towards the subway station to get our ticket to travel to the guest house

This is how the ticket machine looks like. Ya is in korean but don't worry there are language selection that you can choose english. cause my 동생 was able to read korean so he bought the ticket without any difficulty. 

I forgot to took photo after this so i just travel from Busan station to our guesthouse thats all! LOL.
