Landing in incheon






We meet her brother Sung Hyen whom I refer to as Sung Hyen Hyung Nim. He proceeded to drive us out of the airport and out of Incheon and into Seoul to her father's and brother's house. I got to meet the rest of the immediate family. It was great. But prior to this I must admit that I was feeling abit estranged coming to a foreign country and not going to the Philippines. We were gate 96 for our departure and Philppines was leaving around the same time for Manila at gate 95. It felt like I should be going on that flight lol! It is weird how comfortable with the familiar and afraid to explore new places and leave the possibility of another place to be anywhere near as great to have a slim opening. But as SR and her brother were speaking on the way in the car, I was sitting in the back looking out the window, looking at the sea and the lights, taking a look at Incheon in the night and the Seoul. I am intrigued and trying to get a feel for the vibe. I value an experience of a place by the people, and with SR's family it's off to a great start.
     I met Abonim and he was funny. Hyo Sung, SR nephew was quite curious and we got a long pretty well. His English is good. He is also an artist. Yei Jin was shy, but still receptive. I also met SR's sister and brother in law. Both her brother and brother in law helped being up our heavy luggage to the third floor. SR was obviously happy to be home. It was very nice to see this...
