I had the lucky experience to have left from Kimpo and returned through Incheon, the week it opened. Still had that "new airport smell". I think Incheon is a great airport — I love it.

Not exactly executive salary, but then again its certainly not executive work. Kushibo, i dunno about that. how many other of the worlds top 20 airports can you walk straight out without having to go through a customs check? it certianly makes things quicker, especially if you have your suitcase full of things that might otherwise be restricted. savoy, its in the high end of normal here i think. i’m actually in a reginal city in the south of the country, but i don’t know if it changes that much in different locations. considering the work that i have to do its a pretty good salary i think. especially when you consider what you would have to be making to have that level of income after tax and accommodation in a western country.

Kushibo,

i dunno about that. how many other of the worlds top 20 airports can you walk straight out without having to go through a customs check? it certianly makes things quicker, especially if you have your suitcase full of things that might otherwise be restricted.

LaPorte's "tenure" is proof-positive that the ROK is truly the last stop on the train - when KS wiggles into THE discussion...Korea is yesteryear's news. To me, all Korean geo-political discussions involve the US...where as, the same-type US discussions involve the Peninsula only as an after-thought..."oh yes, the Korean issue..." Who really cares...those who have been here tooo long? Or, those who have not been here long enough. BTW, ICN was ranked #3 in Forbes' top 20 international airports. I'll give them that one. And it's the only clean municipal facility in the whole damn country. I say pop smoke and let them settle it outside some 7-11 at four o'clock in the morning... On a personal note, just what do ESL instructors make in the ROK? I am forever hearing they make "good money"...what do ESL instructors consider "good money"? I'm talking net here. The length of Gen.

BTW, ICN was ranked #3 in Forbes’ top 20 international airports. I’ll give them that one. And it’s the only clean municipal facility in the whole damn country.
