On Wednesday night, I landed at Incheon airport in Korea and hopped on the subway to make my way to my hotel in Eastern Seoul (Janghanpyeong). I flew in from the Philippines so it was really a shock to go from 30 C weather to -10 C! The subway speaker told me "next station, Mok-Dong" so when the train arrived, I stood up to take a photo of the subway sign from inside the train. Then I sat down again and looked up to my right, and it was two foreigners standing there. Khaldor and Wolf!
Then last night I was at Mok-Dong to watch the U&D Group E unfold. It was a really fun experience and the matches were great too. I took some pics and wanted to share them for anyone who wants to see some more behind the scenes shots from last night.
Huk just finding out that Flying won his match vs Fantasy

Also got a photo/signature with boxer, and shook Center's hand and wished him luck after he won his first match. He seemed really happy to have a foreigner fan and I was hoping he would win, even though Fantasy is more of a well known fan favorite.
Going out tonight in Gangnam with my friends here so probably won't have time to see tonight's wild card games, but I really hope Center and Jaedong make it through! GOOO CENTER! /hipster center fan
Awesome!! Well done Thanks for sharing too, i like behind the scenes stuff from fans perspective! Im so desperate to go to Korea too, it looks an amazing place! From it's E-Sports to the food! And i wanna sample the night life too!
haha great pics! looks like you guys had a great time. You don't have to answer this if you don't have to, but how much were the airplane tickets from you?

hey, the airplane tickets from Cebu, Philippines to Incheon (Seoul Airport) were $145 USD one way, or $290 return. not sure where you are from, but i recommend always travelling with budget airlines like AirAsia (Malaysia based), FlyScoot (Singapore based), CebuPacific (Philippines based) or a similar airline. I think it's always worth it to save more than half the price by just sitting in an ordinary seat for the duration of a flight. So if you're just a student or not rolling in serious cash, it is definitely worthwhile.
