Incheon

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
Loosing 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 quite 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 too 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
