T-Money can be use on All Metro lines, AREX & buses in S.Korea EXCEPT their conventional & bullet train operated by KORAIL.

So if you going to Jisan by subway & bus -yes accepted. To Nami Island if you take the train - No but wth the new subway line to that area - Yes.

No idea on Everland - I din go there. Here more info of T-Money. You can find more info on pg1 of this thread

And this is what I bought haha.. totally diff from zstan...guys stuff...food-food & food

My friend and I took the tour bus in Jeju. It is all conducted in Korean language. We still manage although it must be pretty frustrating for the guide with her limited English, REALLY limited. 
Better to book ticket online otherwise you will be like us in Jeju airport, finding the tour bus completely full. The people managing the tours aren't keen on taking on foreigners because it is really cheap, about RM 80 not inclusive of guide's tip. Lunch included (non halal of course)
In the end some kind Samaritan manage to squeeze both of us into 1 tour bus but someone had to drive us to meet up with the bus that already left Jeju city. The next day tour to the Western part of Jeju island went smoothly without a hitch. Some places that we visited include an option to pay the entrance fee or not. Most of time though the entrance fees were included in the price of tour ticket. Don't miss the ferry ride in Seopwipo though you will have to pay for the ride.
If there are more in your group, I heard that they might provide English guide. Have to take their word for it. Don't know if true or not.

Sorry for the late reply. I bought tickets from Gimpo to Jeju via Eastar Airlines. Book online for RM 200 return. Could have got RM 150 if bought earlier. That was in June 2011. Took the afternoon flight. It was really easy booking online.

i exchange RM1k for this trip...should be enough... 

then u cant register. u can only get alien card if you get visa to stay there more than three months

guys, would like to ask , like me if I have 3 person total going, If i book at hotel standard room for 2 adults, can I just squeeze 3 person in the room without telling the hotel that I have 3 person staying?

How did you manage to book it in the end? The alien registration number is not needed?
