Days 9-11 - Quiet Weekend

Since we have Fridays off, our weekends start...basically Thursday 6:00pm, when we get off work.  But you're a college student, you say, Don't you start weekends on Thursday nights anyway?  College myth, busted!  Most of us still have classes, work, clubs and the like until Friday 5:00pm, or later.  It's a complete novelty for me, to have this much free time.  So what did I do with this wealth of time, you ask?  A healthy dose of...nothing :)  Just outside our dorm building, there are these interesting exercise machines that require only your own body weight instead of measured weights with a beautiful view of Incheon in the background, of which I made good use last Friday morning.

This picture is entirely responsible for this post being so far behind.
On the bright side, I've learned to play with photo-editing software!  Post-process, here I come!

At noon, one of our mentors and his lovely wife kindly took us to lunch.  We also visited Central Park:

A little quieter than Central Park in NYC.

And a museum of Incheon and the surrounding areas.  This is the front entrance.

Incheon really is a compact, smart city!  I'm especially impressed by the transportation system. 
The subways and buses are remarkably clean and run pretty much on the dot!

Inside, we found many wonderful spreads of the past, present and future models of the city and surrounding area.

This is just a few of the shots, but many didn't come out well due to the darkness of the room.

  

Afterwards, a quick stop by the souvenir center right next door...

It's a pretty building :)

Later that day, a quick trip to the Songdo shopping district again.  We discovered a tiny bread shop crammed with delicious things right across from the bus station where we return to campus.

Mmmm, cheese buns and chestnut buns and chocolate muffins and cinnamon twist doughnuts...

The bread served for my dinner and my breakfast the next day.  It's probably the least expensive meal in Incheon :)
