As our plane descended into Seoul Incheon Airport, excitement bubbled within us, eager to begin our adventure in South Korea. Our journey began in Melbourne, with a brief layover in Brisbane before finally landing in Seoul late at night. However, our anticipation was met with a hiccup as we faced an unexpected delay at customs.</p><p class="ql-block">With only two counters operational and nearly a thousand people waiting, frustration crept in as time seemed to stand still. Nevertheless, we maintained our composure, reminding ourselves that delays are simply part of the travel experience.</p><p class="ql-block">Finally clearing customs, we dashed to catch the last airport train bound for Seoul city. Racing against the clock, adrenaline fueled our sprint through the bustling terminal. Breathless but determined, we boarded the train just in time, a sense of relief washing over us.</p><p class="ql-block">Arriving at our designated subway station, fatigue began to set in after a long day of travel. The streets were eerily quiet as we navigated our way to our accommodation, the only sound being the echo of our footsteps on the deserted pavement.</p><p class="ql-block">As we reached our hotel in the early hours of the morning, exhaustion weighed heavily upon us. Yet, despite the challenges encountered along the way, we were grateful to have arrived safely. Collapsing onto our beds, we drifted off to sleep, eager to embark on our South Korean adventure come morning.</p>
