Incheon…

I’m on my way to Chongqing, and we just landed (after a 12+ hour redeye out of LAX) in Incheon, South Korea.   Interesting stuff…we flew directly over Suweon, which is where I was deployed 40 years ago (to the month!) on the Yellow Sea….that’s me on the left, and my Platoon Sergeant (Sergeant Coleman) on the right in June, 1975.

I remember it being super hot and humid back then, and it still is today.   The weather notwithstanding, a lot has changed in 40 years.   One of these years, I have to make it back to Korea and explore this country a bit more.  The Incheon Airport is new…when I was here in the mid-70s the entire area was rice paddies and mosquitoes in the summer.    But like I said, things have changed, and I had to grab one quick iPhone shot in this new airport.

Yes, folks, Dunkin’ Donuts has landed at Incheon (just like Douglas MacArthur)…

That’s it for now.  I think I’m going to grab a cup of that coffee and catch my next flight.
