I'm travelling to the UK in October on Korea Air and staying for 1 night at one of the airport hotels. I've never been to Korea so I would like to go to the nearest town (Incheon, I presume) go for soemthing to eat then go out for a few drinks. I'm travelling solo. Has anyone got any tips? How easy is it to get from the hotel to Incheon? I'll probably have to get a cab back, how much will that be? How much is a beer? Should I change money in Oz before I leave? Is the duty free cheap in Korea? Any advice at all would be appreciated. Thanks.

I will be flying in to Incheon Internl airport on Friday 14th December, 2007. Will be in transit for 2 days will be flying on to Vancouver on Monday 17th Dec.

Anybody know of any budget accommodation, backpacker/ hostel i can stay in Incheon that is affordable/cheap?

I have a 6 hour layover in Incheon airport. Is that enough time to see something in Incheon City? If so, what is recommended? International flight...

Thanks so much.

Hi all,

I am an Australian that is going to be teaching English in Suwon for a year starting November. I have read a few things about Suwon and it seems to be nice place. I live with some Korean people and they also say it is nice.
I have a few questions that I would appreciate some answers too. How are foreigners perceived over there? Do we have to watch out when buying things so as not to get overcharged? Will people want to talk to us or will they avoid us? Is it true that I would be able to buy shoes over there? (size 12-13 aus)
Also I love soccer and am hoping to play soccer over there. Are there any teams that would allow a foreigner to play? Is there an indoor soccer field?

Any answers to these questions or any other information would be much appreciated. If there are any foreigners (or Koreans for that matter) over there and want to meet up, give me an email.

Cheers.

What am I going to ride if I am from Puch'on going to Seoul. Thanks

Hi,

Soon I will be flying from Ho Chi Minh to Russia via Incheon. I want to bring back lots of foodstuff, coffee etc but am concerned about them being confiscated at Incheon. I won't be passing through immigrations, just following the transit route, and I am flying all the way with Asiana so will check my bags in from Vietnam to Russia, but can I expect problems nonetheless?

Thanks.

How long does it take to get from Anyang to Incheon airport?

I heard that the filming location of "Full House" is somewhere on the island near Incheon. Is it trur? If yes, how can I go there from the airport? Thank you for every answer.

I want to go from in Incheon to the port near Dandong on the border of China and N Korea by ferry, and I would like to know how to book tickets for this. I want to book from here in Japan.
Thank in your advance.

I am flying into Incheon airport and am flying out early the next day and was wondering if there is a place to stay cheap. I get in around 9pm and then leave the next day around 8 in the morning? I dont really care if it is traditional korean style or not i am just sleeping there. I am a teacher near Busan and dont know much about Seoul. Is there a suana that lets you stay there like in Busan. I mean I wnat something real cheap as the next day I am off to Boracay and would rather spend the money there is all.

WOULD GET A PLACE OF INTEREST AND KOREA HISTORY AT INCHEON?

I am going to ks in Jan 2003 and wondered if anyone can give me some tips on hiring car and daytrips to surrounding islands for snorkling and fishing
