Peeping Into Maglev in Incheon Airport

The kids just had their holiday in the nearby beach from where they got to reach the Incheon airport before going back to Seoul. It so happened that they found the newly operated Magnetic Levitation (Maglev) Train....so..they went to try it out.

It's so crowded...and people were lining up to be on board the talked-about train that levitates over its rail track.

When I asked as to whether there were any differences with other train..they simply said that the whirring sound was different...^^ Hey, you did enjoy it, right?

A facade of the maglev train station...

and boy...what a parking lot it was.^^ I just wonder how people get out of the car and walk up until their workplace....if the parking lot itself is this huge...^^

anyway...these are the pics of the maglev train ..the newly operated train in Incheon airport.

The yellow one resembles the bees..and oh I also learned that this maglev train is built with Korea's own technology..and its speed is 110 km per hour....

ok..although it's still in its trial..with only 6 km long rail track..but..boy..this is surely a major breakthrough or a testament of Korea's train technology.

...I wonder if this will ever be built in other cities, as well.

Jogja ~ Seoul Sept. 2015

Thanks to om.Didik...tante Yuni and Razqa....

For everything during our 5-day trip to Jogja. It's time to get back to Seoul again. 

Thanks for semuanyaaaa.

Check-in at Jogjakarta airport...

Yup....that's our plane....bound for Jakarta.

Boarding Garuda Indonesia....

At Jogjakarta airport....we could literally walk next to the plane we're about to fly with......before takeoff.

Safely arrived at Jakarta International Airport for a transit before departing for Seoul.

After 6 hour-40 minute flight...we safely arrived at Incheon airport.

Freya and Mama greeted us at the arrival hall. Thank you.

From Jogja to Seoul....with chocolate.

Safely Arrived Back in Seoul

Oh, there you are! June 24, 2015. 

Finally arrived back in Seoul after 12-day Visit to Indonesia on a Road Trip.

Oh...I was not fasting that day...^^ 

I thought I could..but..as it turned out..I was so tired...and exhausted...

and...well...I needed to take some rest. 

It took me another 2 hours to get me from Incheon to Nowon. gee....

Oh, hello there my bags....nice to see you again.ㅋㅋㅋ 

berhasil juga ya...kuat juga ....akhirnya kumasukin lima puluh kiloan lebih....membawa banyak oleh-oleh.  

cunningly...smiling. 

taking a rest along the way on board Limousine Bus....to get me to Seoul.

**-----------------**---------------------** 

Long story short...Alhamdulillah...finally I met my daughters again...after almost 2-weeks! 

and....we enjoyed our dinner at Bapuri...ㅋㅋㅋ 단골식당이죠.

*Happy to see you again, kiddos.*

From Incheon to Cengkareng (June 2015)

what's the odd of bumping into my student at the airport and ....the chance of being at the same plane home?

Right..I met Ben who'd finished his 4-year and 10-month contract in Korea? 

With MERS being the 'conundrum' in Korea, I couldn't refrain myself from 'NOT' wearing masks as most other people were as well. *I hope that everything's getting normal soon.

But, of course...the fun's still there. Along with Ben, we're travelling with Min Seonhee--our Korean fellow who's also on the trip to Indonesia. 

oh..right. Duty Free Shop!!! My wife, sort of, asking me to buy her one of the lipsticks she liked. 

As it turned out, it's not that easy to buy a lipstick. A good thing was that the shop attendant was kind enough to get me through the whole process: smearing on her hand, ....me taking a pic of it, sending it to my wife who'd later on pick one among the 4 available. DONE. 

We're still having 5 minute or so before boarding...and right, we got to finish our Paris Baguette^^ 

Ben, hurry up!!! finish your breakfast! 

I took some pics of Ben's boarding the plane so as to give them as tokens of memories.^^ 

We're sitting separately...strange enough..though we sort of checking in together. ^^ 

But...as later on ..I found out that the plane's not full enough, so there're plenty of seats available for us to play around above the sky.

One of the so many pictures I took from Garuda Indonesia. 

SElfie....selfie....with Min Seon Hee. We're on a mission to participate in a seminar held in Jogjakarta, of course..that's one of the so many plans I made: since one of my goals was to go home to pay a visit to my family back home in East Java. 

Nope...knock it off....^^  

We're having so much fun...enjoying our trip this time. 

A good thing about selfie-ing is that....we could be ourselves.^^ 

Flight-Entertainment-wise: it's way more than enough to keep us occupied during the almost 7-hour flight.

Then..I moved along the empty seats where Ben was sitting...and again...we took some poses! 

Okay...put aside our pride and shame ㅋㅋㅋ just be ourselves...!! 

Over the blue sky and blue ocean below. 

A Great way to spend the time on board Garuda Indonesia. 

Endless formation of clouds along the way really overwhelmed the eyes... 

...and then..after a 7-hour flight, we finally arrived at Jakarta International Airport. 

Hi, guys....take a look at the camera, again. 

Alhamdulillah, we're safely landing in Jakarta. Min Seon hee was transferring to a connecting flight to Jogjakarta while Ben was doing the same to Semarang. 

As for me, I got to take the airport bus to Bogor where I'd meet my relatives.

and..welcome to the 'jungle' of traffic in Jakarta. ㅠㅠ

and....that's just the beginning of looooong yet memorable stories.

More blogs coming up about my trip back home.
