Well, in fairness Korea isn't the most exciting of places. You can ask most crewmembers and if they all agree that it's "okay" then maybe they're on to spmething.

Going to Incheon not like going to Bangkok or Hanoi...and Koreans aren't as warm or friendly as the Thais are...heck even Koreans go to Thailand to get away from Koreans!

In terms of having rights - well there are certain rights or things you can enjoy in Korea that you can't in the US. For example, you can get a can of beer at a 7/11 in Korea, sit outside and enjoy it. You can't do that in the US. Or for example you walk around in the middle of the night in Korea and not worry about getting mugged or shot. Not so much in the US.

But going back to the question at hand - yeah there probably wont be an official base in Korea although it would be neat if they did. Id prolly bid for it!

I've had good times in Korea. People have been very warm with me when I talk to them too. I just don't go all pilot-DB on them. I get out of town and head to the islands though. I think Incheon and Seoul has had enough of us.

ICN definitely isn't very exciting if all you do is walk to Cinder bar and back.

Sir. Could you please explain this in more detail? If I live in ICN and there are very few routes to ANC, how do I usually commute? Is there a way to end my trip in ICN without returning to ANC?

ICN-ANC is one of the most trafficked routes out there.

Living in ICN is probably easier then living in some places in the domestic USA.

I didn't say that Koreans aren't warm or kind. I'm saying not to the same level as the Thais.

The same with Incheon - sure you can go outside of ICN or Seoul and see some good stuff...but that applies to almost everywhere.

Thank you for your answer. Since there is no civilian commercial route, I was curious, but I guess I can board by using a jump seat or something like that
