Seoul/Incheon

I have arrived at Incheon International Airport in South Korea, which was voted the best airport in the world from 2005-2012 by some fancy airport council. Which I find questionable, as there are no ATM's/cash withdrawal machines anywhere. Which would be sort of acceptable, if only they would have accepted either Maestro or the new Dutch credit cards with the new security chips. Anyway, I decided to go on a hunger strike until they accept my cards so I can buy something to eat. 

Enough complaints, because being at a Korean airport is still fun. Needless to say, most of the people are Korean, and I officially feel like a minority, which is something that does not happen very often. Of course, I have been to places where I looked differently compared to the rest of the people, but it seems to be more significant in Korea. Walking around and just looking at people is a lot of fun, and while I was doing so I awkwardly made eye contact with a Fijian that was doing the same. We were both busy observing the Koreans (authentic 'others' for those that did Area Studies) and were both visibly surprised to see each other and awkwardly smiled. Or he was just hitting on me, I don't know. 
*Update, this happened*
