We had carefully planned out getting to Taoyuan International this morning, right down to having exactly 40 TWD in coins for the MRT and 300 TWD in bills for the express train. I felt like the bad guys in Die Hard 3. I’m sure John McClane would have figured out our destination.
Our flight to Seoul was at 12:20, so it turned into a full transit day :( Oh well, traveling between countries usually takes up the full day.
We flew Korean Air, it was pretty good. Even got a decent hot meal for lunch!
I had booked our flight in Feb so we were the 2nd row in economy, for the luggage space under the seat and front of the line for immigration.
We were through both customs and immigration in no time. We couldn’t track our AirTags in Seoul but couldn’t see our luggage elsewhere in the world so assumed it was here. Sure enough our luggage came out.
We debated taking the subway but Naver was showing it 20 minutes faster driving so just took a taxi. Less than an hour later we were at our hotel.
We just had dinner in the hotel lounge and planned out the next two days. We won’t get to see everything this time but that’s okay; Seoul only became a destination this trip cause of the direct flight from Toronto.
We had to look up thank-you and hello in Korean again. Also said xie xie (thanks in Taiwanese) a few times out of habit :(
Somehow we ended up walking 7.5km today. I guess with transit transfers in Taipei and walking through the airports it adds up.
