For my southeast asia trip I had to goto Seoul Incheon Airport instead of Busan airport closeby. Because I was cashing in air miles they way they configured the booking was from Seoul and wouldnt let me choose Busan even though there were direct flights on Star Alliance member Asiana from Busan. I also failed to realize that because of the lunar/chinese new year four day holiday this was the busiest travel period. All the cheaper slow trains to Seoul at 20,000w ($18) were sold out when I checked a few days before. Luckily the high speed trains at double the price were still available at 45,000w ($40). There is a slower high speed train that stops at Suwon and takes 2hr45 mins instead of 1hr50. This one was 33,000w ($30) and available so I booked this one. On the train were lots of families travellings and more families with babies than usual. I now had time to kill at Seoul station before I took the airport express train to the airport. Upon arriving there was a display of robots programmed to synchronize dance to k-pop music. Then I decided to visit the newly opened Seoul Station museum beside. Video : Robots Dancing to K-Pop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d8hKp1f mFc The station museum is the original victorian style station before the new high speed terminal was built beside. The entire time I have been in Korea this has been boarded up and under construction, which was a shame as it had very nice architecture from the outside. Now it has been restored and opened as a free museum. Upon entry you arrive into a typical arrival hall with a large domed glass window and hanging clock. To the right hand of the entrance hall is a room housing a time capsule which you can pay to enter but I didnt. The room to the left has some modern art sculptures. If you then follow this corridor further down it leads you to more interesting period rooms. This is a smaller waiting room in victorian style with a large draped window and a fireplace. There are large wooden doors with original handles and features. After this the staircase will lead you up to the second floor. Here in one room they have exposed brickwork with more brass ornaments on display, making it appear more like a display of medieval items. This then leads you into a massive hall with a ticket counter. This seemed odd to be on the second floor. The ticket counter was a large wooden structure. The other end of the hall had a massive fireplace. The entire room had wood panelling on either side giving a very historic feel. If you have time to kill between trains at seoul station this is a very easy and free way to kill a good half hour. Visit My Page on Facebook Departures1
