Manila to Incheon to Seoul


My twin Mon (not really by blood but by circumstances...) and me at the lobby of NAIA. Yes, again... this time we had the same flight schedule, though he went to Gate 7 (Cathay Pacific going to New York), I'm at Gate 6 (going to Seoul). The NAIA people thought we were going together in the same flight but got surprised when we showed our boarding passes... nyehehe! Anyway, kitakits next year Mon!!! Galingan mo rin! Hehe!





After the NAIA:

I wasn't able to shoot anything at Incheon International Airport because I have tons of things being carried... Man, I was carrying almost 30 lbs. of hand carry when I weigh 95 lbs. how was that... hmmmhhh...

I have some video shots and photos from my digital SLR at the airplane, none at the airport though arrgh!!!

After the Korean Film Council pips picked me up at the airport, I was able to use my cellphone to shoot some Korean highways... from Incheon to Seoul -- it's one hour away...






Going out of the Incheon parking (my SLR was left at the back of the car, so the available camera is only my mobile...)


Korean roads...
They have really wide highways!!! there may be many vehicles, but the highways are directly proportional to them... so the traffic is very much bearable... actually, they just stop for a couple of seconds or a minute or so for the pedestrians to cross within the areas with traffic lights. And the best part of it all, the city is not polluted!
It's summer slash rainy season here. And even at 10pm, it's like 6pm in the Philippines, the sun can still be seen hehehe! this pic was shot at past 7. pardon the overexposure, my cellphone was acting up.


My first meal in Korea:

Before finally seeing my ha-sook (my place of stay), we ate in a restaurant near my school which is also kinda near my ha-sook... they serve a lot of food... since i already had the famous bibimbap of Korean Air at the plane, we had the bulgogi this time... and lots of other food. actually even at our house, so many food are always laid on the table. most of them are vegies so no problem with me then ;-) i just notice that with the kind of food i eat i(even though i eat a lot - getting many people surprised why i eat a lot when im so skinny - even in Manila... Oh yes i look so PG haha!), and I walk like at least 1 hour everyday with some trekking moments since I live at the foot of the mountain - actually a little up at the foot of the mountain which is around half a kilometer away from a highway in Seoul, I think I will get back to the Philippines much skinnier, yikes...

Using the net at the Korean Film Council. I wish we have something like what the KOFIC has here... they love their film industry... especially their government... and so goes with the rest of them... hay...

I'll save the more serious words to my Yehey articles and my film blog.

O di ba, I'm wearing my Philippine clothes, it's almost the same temperature in the Philippines and in Korea now. But let me wait until November... Snow! Ski!!! Weeeee!!!

Next time I'll post some pix of Korea University and other places.
