I think you can find most of the things that you need for your home. They also have very beautiful tea wares which I would really love to buy. Also, i think the furniture are still really good. They have sofa, dining set, beds, etc. But if you are looking for clothes, shoes and bags they don't have that much. If you would like to see some pictures before you visit the shop, you can check their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/AlbanyDriveInMart/timeline.

Operation Hours: I am not sure about their operation hours since I did not see any information in their store. But we went to their shop Saturday and it was open.

 

5. Mister Money - This is the first pre loved shop that we visited cause even without searching any information in the internet, my husband found it cause inside the building near IGA. We bought most of our furniture here cause at that time, this is the only pre loved shop that we knew.

 

Location: 210 North Road, Albany WA 6330

English Worship Service in Incheon

There are churches in Incheon that has an english worship service.

1. Word of Life International Fellowship.

 This is under Juan Methodist Church. They have 2 english worship services, one is in the main church located near at Juan Station and the other one is songdo near at the International Business District Station. For more information you can visit their website http://wordoflifeif.com/


2. Life Spring Church
    It is located in Songdo, Incheon. The easiest way to find this church is to look for the Starbucks Songdo. There is a small entrance between the starbucks and I think a restaurant. Go straight inside at the bottom of that entrance you will see a stair. Go up and then at your left side you can see the church. For more information you can visit their website http://www.lifespringkorea.org/en/

3. Yonsei International Campus in Songdo
 They have a youth service 11am at the 자유관A 102. Since it is a youth service most of the people are students of Yonsie and SUNY university.

I will post the pics of these churches later.

Silay-Bacolod Airport Shuttle Bus

This is located at the back of SM Department Store. As of June 2013 the fare is Php 100.00 per person. This shuttle bus follows its service schedule even though the van is not full and or even you are alon. One thing you should do is to give extra time because after the van leaves the terminal it has another stops. It visits hotels or pension houses to pick up other travelers.

If you are from southern part of Negros Occidental and it is difficult for you to go to SM Bacolod, there are also shuttle bus along the way in Sum-ag area. If you are taking a bus you just have to tell the driver to drop you off in the airport shuttle bus. The shuttle bus fare in Sum- ag is Php 130,00 per person.

 I don't have their schedule but before you go down in a bus you can ask the shuttle bus driver if they are able to catch your flight. They will honestly tell you that you can take their shuttle bus but if the scheduled shuttle bus already left they will advise you to go directly to Bacolod.
