Passing through Incheon aiport (Korea) on my way to HK, and I must say that it's the most impressive airport I've seen.

First of all, the interior is like a gigantic mall - there are too many restaurants and brand name stores to count! And they're not all the same stores at every corners: there's actually a good variety of stores to keep one busy for a good hour or two. Next, they have these tech show spots that look like mini conventions - although that may be something temporary. And then there's the free cultural expeirence thing that they're advertising as the plane was arriving. It's not a huge gig, but it's very unique and something that I haven't seen anywhere else. There was a live mini concert with traditional Korean instruments. The music was beautifully unique.

Looking forward to my return trip already. ^^

Golden Ears Trail: West Canyon parking lot to summit of North Ear. Hiking trail only (12 kilometres; suggested time: 7 hours; elevation change: 1,500 metres). Follow the West Canyon Trail from the parking lot to Alder Flats. Beyond Alder Flats the trail switchbacks upward on an old logging road then heads steeply uphill to Panorama Ridge. Most of the elevation gain is made in this stretch. Listen for the nasal squeak of pikas in the rock slides. Impressive view of Pitt Lake to the west and mountains to the east and north are possible from Panorama Ridge. The ascent of the North Ear is made from the left (east) side across a permanent snowfield. Extreme caution is advised and proper equipment is recommended. Drinking water may be scarce in dry weather between Alder Flats and the snowfield.

The round trip to Golden Ears is an overnight expedition for all but the fittest hikers.

Overnight camping areas are located at Alder Flats and on Panorama Ridge around the mountain shelter which, itself, can accommodate up to 8 people. Expect snow on Panorama Ridge into July. This trail is long and strenuous and should only be attempted by experienced, well-equipped backcountry travellers. No open fires are permitted in the backcountry.
