Next stop: Korea

Our flight home to Hawaii had an 8 hour layover at Incheon Airport, in South Korea. I've never been to Korea before so I was pretty excited. We weren't allowed to leave the airport but since Incheon is actually a huge mall, filled with omiyage stores, culture corners, and high end shops, I really didn't mind. Instead of sleeping for eight hours, we decided to walk around the mall for a couple hours, talk on skype for another couple, build desks at a culture corner, oh, and throw in two meals. Not such a bad layover.
The culture corners are filled with Korean art, such as sculptures, books, photographs, and clothing. At every corner there are two to three women dressed in traditional Korean garb. They invite foreigners to come in and make something for free. The station we were at had materials to make either a paper lamp or wooden desk. We opted to build the desk.

Finished product, the desk I made at one of the culture corners.

Lunch for one. Spicy and delicious!

I take pictures of Coca-Cola cans and bottles because my mom is a huge fan.

I thought this size was pretty neat.

It was a good stop, filled with good food. My only recommendation is to not buy alcohol at the airport. If you're flying Korean Air, they serve free wine on the flight. We learned the hard way by buying two Asahi beers before our flight. It cost $15 total, for two cans of beer. We forgot it was "imported". Bleh...
