Our overnight 9 hour flight from Amsterdam to Seoul, the capital of Korea, was smooth and similar to our North America to Europe flights. We left a mild winter climate in Germany and landed in what felt like a hazy, warm spring day in Seoul (Incheon/Seoul airport actually). On a peninsula with a coastal climate, Korea’s winters are mild and relatively short.br //divdivdiv/divbr /divbr /img id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303987624963805250″ style=”DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 251px; TEXT-ALIGN: center” alt=”” src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_k1DHbqzFvCE/SZuMpKcJEEI/AAAAAAAAAfU/Hps4EeN5P5U/s400/pyeongchang-8.gif” border=”0″ /Flat coastal plains outside of Seoul and Incheon were punctuated by these high-rise apartment buildings surrounded by what looked like their agricultural resource – rows and rows of greenhouses.br /br /div
