At the end of April, on my way back to Japan for the Golden Week holidays, I stopped off in Seoul.

I came to Incheon Paradise City for the first time in six months.

It takes about two hours by plane from Shanghai to Seoul.

It feels closer than Macau.

Nowadays, PCR tests and visas are no longer required, so entering Korea is very smooth.

However, there was a long line at immigration for foreigners, probably because several planes arrived at the same time.

It took about 40 minutes to get through immigration.

This time, I stayed at the Grand Hyatt next to Paradise City.

There is a special bus from the airport, so I looked for the bus stop...but I couldn't find it.

That's strange.

There is a bus stop for Paradise City, but...

I walked to the other side (left side after leaving the airport) and...

There it was!

The bus stop for the Grand Hyatt was only on the left side.

There are two bus stops for Paradise City, one on the left and one on the right.

We arrived safely at the Grand Hyatt and checked in.

The room here is spacious and nice.

The toilet even has a washlet!

I wonder if washlets are common in Korea, like in Japan.

I'm grateful.

After putting my luggage down, I headed straight to the casino in Paradise City.

I brought the remaining Korean won from last time, but that wasn't enough, so I topped up my chips with my credit card.

First, I tried my luck with baccarat.

This time I'm going to play as the banker.

The baccarat tables on the flat floor are full of customers.

Unlike Macau, there aren't many vacant tables.

I barely managed to find a vacant table (min 300,000, expensive for a flat floor) and bet on the banker.

Well, I wonder how it will turn out.

I narrowed it down to two B cards...

Both of them are 2 sides!!!

P open.

Picture and 6.

Wow, tough.

Squeezing B...

Hoo hoo hoo

Yes, I got it!

A stunning victory with 4 and 4!

I won this time!!!

Now, on to my favorite BJ.

Paradise City's BJ has the usual ones, as well as the unusual BJ switch and free bet BJ.

I introduced the details in my last blog, so if you're interested, please take a look.

For the usual BJ, you start with a minimum of 10,000.

It's also nice that there are tables with low minimums.

You can start by watching the situation and then gradually increase it.

I play for a while, win and lose, but my chips are steadily increasing.

OK OK.

Paradise City's BJ feels straightforward.

Maybe it feels that way especially after getting beaten up in Macau last time?

After that, I played the BJ switch and free bet BJ, and won all of them! (The amount is small)

I played three-card poker to relax and got three cards, so the first day ended on a high note.

I'll keep it up from tomorrow!

For dinner, I had yakiniku for myself at Obaltan on the second floor of the Plaza.

I had one piece of kalbi and one piece of loin.

Both were good, but I preferred the kalbi.

I think I'll try tripe next time.

I don't usually eat much horumon, but I heard it's recommended.
