1. How to come from Inchon Airport

If you want to know about *entry formailities*, see this page.    Airport Guide

There is also virtual experience for arrival (Flash File). It would be very useful for you.    
(You can get another information in this website [http://www.airport.or.kr/eng/airport/]. Japanese and Chinese Websites are also available.)

We suggest you to take a bus (6011) that stops at SeongSan hall which is ~900meters west of Sukyoung's office.
With luggage, it is best to take a taxi which should be easy to find as you get off from the airport bus [~50meters ahead]. The taxi will have to make a long detour because it cannot make a left-turn to the Yonsei main gate. Taxi will take the Yonsei North gate which is convenient to get to the Allen Hall. The cost will be ~4000won (2pounds). [for taxi service, PRINT THE MAP IN GEM SITE SO THAT THE DRIVER KNOWS WHERE ALLEN HALL (or SANG-NAM-GYUNG-YOUNG-KWAN) IS.]

Or if you want to walk to Sukyoung's office, follow the GEM web instruction, and it will take about 20minutes on foot. All the way is paved alright. But for your first trip, taxi would be recommended.

a bus 6011 (previously, 602-1) at 12A.
Bus Fare : KRW 9,000
You can pay when you get on the bus.
