Annyeonghi Gyeseyo Korea!

This morning, the time came to say goodbye to Korea. I must say in the two days that I was here, I did experience a bit of Korea's past and its present, and I was left amazed at the pace at which Korea had transformed itself in the last 60-odd years.


Checking out just before dawn, to catch a bus to the airport...


As we cross the Incheon Bridge, the sun rises and it is obvious why Korea is called the Land of the Morning Calm...



Reached the airport...



Waiting to checkin. There is a group of 40-odd Taiwanese sportspersons traveling on the same flight. Their shirts say they are from Chinese Taipei!


Plane spotting left me hungry, so popped into the Asiana Lounge for some light breakfast...


Up on cruising altitude, headed for Taipei's Taoyuan Airport!


My inflight meal - spicy pork, rice and raw tofu with strawberry yogurt!


The girl across the aisle covered her face, draped a jacket and dozed off...


She did look so funny...


"Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, I'm begging of you please don't take my man" - Watching Dolly Parton's 2014 performance is Glastonbury...


Descending into Taipei...



Taiwan looks so green...


Overflying Sanzhi district...


The Danshui Lover's Bridge...



Overflying the port of Taipei...
















Overflying a golf course...


On short finals...




And finally in the Renegade Province! Look forward to some Plane Spotting here!


After a brief transit halt at Taipei, we took off again for Hong Kong!


Setting course...






Goodbye Taiwan! You look so pretty, I gotta come back soon...



A view of Taiwan's western coastline...





At FL360...








Now descending into Hong Kong...




I love the approach into Hong Kong...




Hong Kong's skyscrapers appear...






The city looks quite impressive from above...





Approaching to land...







And look forward to the next 24 hours in the great city called the Fragrant Harbour!
