As we landed at Incheon International Airport in Seul, South Korea, I wasn't sure what to expect. What we experienced was nothing at all like what I imagined. The airport was huge (as should have been expected after seeing the inexplicable amount of infrastructure of the city as we flew over.) It was very clean and modern. I am a huge fan of little thoughtful details, and Incheon didn't disappoint. As we were making our way from one gate to another with our new found friends from the Edmonton contingent of the trip (not all of them but three fantastic people) we passed a classical instrumental troupe playing in the airport. It was the first of many times I got shivers from one of those special moments. I thought this was fantastic. The music was a great way to give the soul peace in Seul as you are stuck in an airport waiting between flights. It was a light, gentle piece they were playing that rose the positive energy and subdued any negative anxiety that might be associated with traveling. We made our way to the Executive Lounge where we hung out and waited for our next flight.
Up until this point we had been flying along with the sun. We had flown into the future and time was starting to catch up. We stayed in the lounge into the darkness and boarded our flight to Harbin, China after sunset.
The Cream of Potato soup in the lounge was great. A few in our party took showers to freshen up and we had a little catchup on our various electronic devices with the goings on at home.
