Incheon 2016

I live in Incheon
Part of the 3 million people who live here
Mostly Koreans
90,000 foreigners though live here too

My apartment is next to a park
And I walk almost daily in the mountains
Losing myself in the hills
Overlooking the airport

The town has lots of restaurants
Places too go
Things to do

And the airport is next door

Soon there will be a casino complex opening up
As they turn this quiet suburban village
Into a Mini-Las Vegas
Complete with a strip

Can’t wait

Going to Seoul is a snap
50 minutes on the train
And I am there
Wherever I want to be

Korea is turning out to be
A good place to live

So much better
Than it was when I first arrived in 1979

And it was grim back then

Now it is the toast of Asia
And for that I am glad
