The International Transport Game

We then enter the airport terminal, and see what the next international flight is.
We find it's the Korean Air flight 782 (also known as Etihad 8482, KLM 4259, and Jin Air 5225), which departs at 21:05.
We take this flight, and get dropped off at Seoul airport Incheon at 10:35pm on the Friday evening.

Well the express train into Seoul has stopped running for the night, but the stopper is still going, so we take the 2312 (by interpolation) which arrives in Seoul station at 0008 (by calculation) Saturday morning

Again, I'm going to allow a wee while to transfer at this busy station, even though I can't find an advertised minimum transfer time.

We head down to the Subway and board the 00:18 1 line service to 청량리역 (Cheongnyangni), arriving at 00:36 on Saturday morning.

The subway's about to shut for the night, but there is a fairly unfathomable night bus service

We take the N26 at 0136 and ride to Dongmyo station, arriving at 0141 Saturday morning

That's it for the night, so we find a capsule hotel and awaken at 0448 to board the 152 bus to Seoul station, arriving at 0503 Saturday morning.

 

[dzug2]

Sadly our lack of knowledge of the Korean script and language is proving a real obstacle in moving about - even google only partly transliterates

So we take the 0520 stopping train from Seoul back to Incheon airport, arriving at 0616 Saturday morning, hoping to find a real feast of possible destinations

 

[DasLunatic]

After a ridiculously long wait at check-in, we finally get our boarding pass for Air France Flight 267 to Paris-Charles de Gaulle, pushing back at 0930 and touching down in the French capital at 1425 Saturday afternoon.

 

[Quakkerillo]

We then quickly head into the RER station (the French customs weren't on strike, luckily!), where at 14:59, we board RER A KALI towards Saint-Rémy-les-Chevreuse.
We don't stay on this service all the way, but decide to get off and enjoy one of the most chaotic metro stations there are, Châtelet-les-Halles. We alight here at 15:38 the Saturday afternoon.

[Quakkerillo]

We then walk to the overground tram stop for STIB/MIVB tram 81 at Suède/Zweden.
The tram towards Montgomery leaves at 22:31.
We depart, and alight at Place Flagey at 22:49, where we can walk to this poster his house for a drink, before continuing the travels.
It's a nice place to go for drinks, this fine Saturday evening.

 

[dzug2]

We take the 81 tram in the other direction from Flagey - it departs at 2300 and we take it to the end of the line at Marius Renard arriving at 2336 Saturday evening

[Quakkerillo]

We're tired of this Tram 81, but nearby Bus 46 doesn't run anymore by the time we can reach Neerpede bus stop, Bus 810 doesn't run at all on Saturdays, and the night bus 620 from Martin Luther King isn't until 2:30am, so we have no choice but to go back.
It's Tram 81 again, departing at 23:43, and we now take it to Saint-Guidon/Sint-Guido, where we alight at 23:51 on Saturday evening.

 

[DasLunatic]

However, the metro is still running in these late hours, so we board the 0009 Line 5 to its terminus of Erasme, arriving at 0016 in the wee hours of Sunday morning.

We then board the 0031 Brussels Metro service Line 5 to Gare Centrale/Centraal Station, arriving there at 0050 in the early hours of Sunday morning.

I think something's missing. We're alerady at Centraal Station at an earlier hour?

 

[DasLunatic]

My bad - start and ends mixed up.

 

[Quakkerillo]

Then, at 03:13 a bus turns up again, it's the De Lijn 620, coming from the airport with some late arrivals.
We hop on, and see if anybody's up for a chat. We get distracted talking to the driver instead, and find out we're suddenly at the terminus, Erasme/Erasmus. Looking at the clock, we see it's 03:33 on the Sunday morning .

 

[DasLunatic]

However, noting many services do not run on a Sunday, we simply stay on the 620 bus, departing Erasme again at 0350. We arrive at Zaventem Luchthaven Perron A (Brussels National Airport) at 0438 Sunday morning.

 

[Quakkerillo]

Slowly we see the sun rise up, and we decide that we want to enjoy that sun today. We're going to the beach! To do that, we enter the subterranean train station.
The first train departing is at 05:26, which we take all the way to De Panne, where we arrive at 08:08 the Sunday morning.

After a quick look at the beach we jump aboard IC3608 at 08:53 alighting at Gent St Pieters at 10:06 on Sunday morning
