KTX Express Train to Seoul

What a ride.

The train travels at the speed of 298 kms per hour, which is pretty fast when I am trying to take photos through the window. Yes, they did not work too well.

Very comfortable. There were three stops, one each half hour and the 300 kms were travelled in I hour 15 minutes, which is some going. It was a very comfortable train too.

I left Nonsan at 10.0am and was at the airport at 1 pm. The Nonsan Ticket and Station Staff were excellent. They had a boy waiting to help me with my luggage right to the platform. I was very impresed with their service and publicly say 'Thank you".

 I got to Yeongsan, and then took a taxi to Seoul, (c0st  $4) and the taxi was so obliging, he stopped right in front of the Limousine airline bus, and wouldn't move till someone came and took my bag and put me on the bus. Grin!!! Then the bus driver kept asking for more money, and I had a prepaid ticket...a lady sitting in the back explained that this bus does go to the airport, so I paid and stayed on. There are many buses that go to the airport, and this was a different company. I have been throwing money around all day.

I got to the airport and found I had to wait till 4 pm, and I spent it on the free Internet.
