At Seoul Incheon Airport , Incheon , Seoul , South Korea.

This is my 12 th visit to this airport. I reached from the hotel to airport thru the limousine service. City authorities had provided service of bus service from several pickup points through out seoul. Around 13000 korean wons is the ticket price , the arrangement is quite helpful. This time i stayed at Novotel Ambassador Gangnam, one of the luxruy five star hotels in Seoul. The bus comes to all the major hotels for pickup , before leaving to Airport.The airport is not as big as Changi airport , but the airport is well maintained. The departure faciltiy is a huge hall with a chormium finsh roof. Once you enter the facility on one side several small cafeteria is visibile , along with that there are several banks counter for currency exchange. Woori bank, ShinHan Bank etc are major ones.This time i was travelling with Singapore Airlines. Once you do the checkin and baggage scan you enter to a shopping area. Lot of duty free shops are seen , but most of them are little costlier.

At RitZ Carlton hotel , Gangnam-gu , Seoul , South Korea.

RitZ Carlton is a seven star hotel in Seoul and one of the costliest hotel to stay with. Facilities are superb. The welcome hall is a big hall and the entrance is a gold plated rotating door. The entrance itself has a royal look. Once you enter two women wearing korean traditional dress welcome you in. The marble work done with gold plated top and the small small lights lit together gives a very bright ambience.Once you enter the room, I saw a letter, amazing it was written "Welcome you back, Prasad" along with it was some chocolates. They keep record of all thier visitors by the passport number. One need to give the credit card number details before taking the room. I was having an American express corporate card which is handy during these types of visits.The next day was a holiday and we decided to enjoy the spa and the swimming pool. The swimming pool is facing the clouds and sky , once you are in the pool looking towards the sky you can enjoy your back stroke. The spa and gymnasium are nearby.Evening i decided to just expolre the Gangnam area. The Ganganam is one of the costliest and posh areas in Seoul. I could find a number of Indian restaurants. The major ones was Chakara, India Gate , Delhi, Taj Mahal etc. Chakkra is a chain hotel and comparitively cheaper. India Gate is costlier , but the ambience is fantastic.By 5.30 pm roads are filled with couples. It seems like whole korean couples are boozing and enjoying ther lifetime.All indian hotels close by around 9.30 pm but the other hotels are open till early morning. During previous visit I remeber I along with some of my friends had spent the whole night till moring in an Irish bar talking each other.
