Travel Diary on September 28, 2019

Though I left the hotel at 6:30 am, I found that the first train of Incheon Airport Maglev is after 7:30.

I took the train from Incheon International Airport to Yongyu. There were many elderly passengers. I don't know where they were going.

Meeting point of the station

Before the trip, I wanted to take pictures of the train at Pyeongdong. But, I found that the station is not suitable for it. So, I went back to Dosan. 15 mins walk took me to riverside which seems to be good for taking pictures.

While I was waiting for trains, a middle-aged man spoke something to me. But, I couldn't understand what he said. Probably, he was working there to grow bees, because many bees were flying around the boxes put there.

I went back to Gwangju Songjeong and took KTX to Yongsan.
