This is where travelers can check departure times. Incheon has a lot of stores for cosmetics and perfumes. While every hall looks the same, you won't get lost since signs like this are everywhere. Airport clock. If you're too tired, they have walkalators you can use. Next time I stop over at Korea, I'll be sure to try going inside the Korea Traditional Cultural Experience Center. I forgot to ask how much for their services. Books, K-Pop CDs, stationery, and all that good stuff. Books are expensive, but the prices are only a little over the dollar prices. A more close-up view of the walkalator. Of course, they also have escalators. Kids that get on your nerves? No problem. Here's a mini-playground for them! If you live in a city like San Diego where Dunkin' Donuts are hard to come by, they have it here! Yum! Spacious waiting area with comfortable seats.
