My Experience:
1. G. Prabhu and Krishnamoorthy helped me a lot during pre-travel activities like purchasing and send-off. Thanks da. Thanks Navaneethan for lending me a digi-cam.
2. First time flight experience was good. But I feared almost all the time.
3. First to Bangkok, Thailand. I had only half-hour to catch the connecting flight to seoul, but the boarding pass queue was very long. Finally flight got delayed by two hours.
4. Flight did a stop-over at Taipei, Taiwan for 45 minutes. I roamed around the Airport for some time. It was good.
5. Finally I reached Incheon, Seoul. When the flight got landed, every korean in the flight shouted "Welcome to Korea". They love their country very much as like everyone in the world.
6. Immigration people didn't allowed me and put me in the suspect room. Oh my god, I couldn't understand their language. [:)]. Finally, police verified and allowed me. (Reason: HP Business in Korea and I had a long colored hair in the Passport Photo).
7. It was -10 Degree C in seoul and I could experience snowfall. Traveling in Subway Train was a real good experience. Lot of people asked me, "Are you an Indian". When I say yes, they reply with joy "We love India". Oh Great.
8. I tasted korean dishes like Kim Baap, Vivim Baap(My favourite), Pibim Baap, Kimchi and Bean Soup. Soju Drink and Sundae are really great to have. I too tasted Mexican food. You could find a lot of Indian restaurants too. Korean people love Indian food.
9. While coming back, I took a three days vacation in Bangkok. It was nice experience roaming around the city. Khao Son Road night life was ultimate. Simply Thai is great.
10. Finally came to Bangalore. Same Traffic all the day. :)
