hmm..busan,no idea cos not included in my research. But seoul,i know a good place.Too bad they have no room for my travel dates =_='

Hey peeps, I saw this on a Chinese Forum (Backpackers.com.tw), there is a new promotion on Korea Pass, every card purchase your Korea Pass will be loaded with KRW 10,000 worth for transportation money (p.s. the Card is similar to a debit card, plus touch and go for buses/metro) and there is a lot of discount coupons. The promotion is valid for new outlet selling Korea Pass only, therefore you can only get it at Incheon Airport and Seoul Station. I think they no longer put it on the website, apparently a lot of the Taiwanese Backpackers are still getting this, this is valid from Aug 1 ~ Sept 20, 2011.

For those traveling during this period, do grab the card saves a lot on traveling expenses.

My plan: to get 2 pcs of Korea Pass @ KRW 50,000 so I could get KRW 20,000 worth of FREE transport cost on metro & buses (I've worked it out, basically it means I don't pay anything for metro for my 10 days stay in Seoul ) ....

For those can read Chinese, refer to: http://www.backpackers.com.tw/forum/showthread.php?t=516170

Cheers

Added on September 1, 2011, 7:30 pmLazybird is just next to Airport, if you want to depart to Busan via KTX, why not look for a GH/Motel near downtown? If might be more convenient to find food, and you might even get chance to explore nearby vicinity, downtown is definitely a lot more interesting then airport, more happening

Anyway you will need to depart from either Seoul or Yeongsan station to Busan, Airport AREX just brings you to the main hub and you will still need to transit. You might be luck with the price too, downtown is much competitive

hi. in seoul, can change money from ringgit to won? and during winter, which theme park should i choose? Lotte or everland? is it wise buy electronic stuff in korea?

Can at the airport but the rate will not be good compare wth changing to US$ 1st.
Lotteworld having Indoor themepark as well as outdoor. I dun bother going in also since I dun really like thempark..i dun even enter the outdoor themepark of genting since the last 20 yrs ago haha

1. what is the current weather in seoul now? winter?

2. should i open roaming or get a new sim card when i am in seoul?

thanks!

Pls visit pg 1 for more info..Now is summer i.e the peak of the summer mth - expecting 28-32C

Yes you can roam. And use Skype to call back to m'sia once you are at free wifi zone inside your hotel.

i've never tried using skype before.Mind to guide? Is calling from skype (from my mobile) to malaysia mobile/house line free,using wifi ?

It'a confirm http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/FU/FU_...=22&cid=1367245

KR pass is on Promotion Free transportation of KRW10,000 per card If you are traveling between 1Aug 2011 ~30 Sept 2011, don't missed out

not really free. What i mean is u can use skype at any free wifi zone. U need to buy skype credit 1st

but if his/her house PC got install skype then can call each other free d kan.. provided both online and add each other lah.

Not PC-lah, any smartphone such as iphone, Nokia N series, HTC, Samsung & Sony Ericson wth pre-installed skype can already. and the other party no need online-lah..just call the phone number just like nomal calling. The free part of skype you need both to be online bcos you need the skype id but you can use it to call number with prepaid credit lor. I bought the prepaid credit years ago wth reload value of US$10. Till Todays after >4-5 yrs, the remaining credit still ~ US$6

Use viber la. Free call jus need wifi. Few days never see the face ok one la. Can hear the other person's voice enOugh already.

Otherwise there's whatsapp and live profile to send back messages...

anyone book KK - Seoul through Asiana before? There is no selection for KK in the website.

Because you can't book their KK flight through their website. You can either buy the ticket directly from the Asiana Airlines Kota Kinabalu office in Menara MAA in Api-api Centre or via any travel agencies in Kota Kinabalu. Alternatively, you may also buy their ticket via third party website such as www.pyotravel.com, Expedia or Orbitz etc.

Not wise. Lowyat cheaper.
