korean fish market im not sure,but if japanese fish market better not

I'm wondering if they would conceal the origins of where the fish were caught is asked. But we can never know where those fish had swam before they were caught. Noryangjin fish market had been on the top of my itinerary and now this happened.... doh.gif

Talking about radiation, will it be safe to try out the seafood at Noryangjin Fish Market?

we are already eating genetically modified chicken with extra growth hormones and other antibiotics everyday. this radiation will be the last thing to kill us.

my 2cent about the radiation thing,as far as im concern cos i study physics till my uni lvl already,this radiation thing actually can be spread very fast and to very far cos the half-life can just duplicate and multiply in a very short time,and somemore i think the radioactive substance they use should be quite a something cos its a power plant and also its spreading direction is RANDOM but not too sure about the wind blow thing,maybe u in malaysia are experiencing a little radiation u never know that. For me,if i already have a trip plan to go to anywhere near japan i don find a reason to cancel it,because you gonna be there like a week?like as though for a week u are exposed to slightly higher radiation level u will be diagnosed with cancer,unlike the 50 workers that work nearby the power plant that are constant exposed to the radiation. No offense everyone just my opinion about this. Maybe some sifu that is expert in this field can explain more  hmm.gif

hi, i also major in chemist, and what i know is korea is the nearest to the japan, actually a very small amount of radiation could cause our body internal sel to mutate, but a very small amount will not bring in any short term effect. But it surely will bring in long term effect, like after 5 yrs, 10 yrs.... This is not whether you stay there for how many days, it is how many amount you are expose to. And I believe the level is much higher than what news reported which they just want to cover up the truth. Today news reported that they found the rain in Seoul, China, Vietnam... contain radiation Iodine 131 and cesium 134 and 137, but luckily not plutonium 238, which is the most dangerous, just a mg of plutonium can cause human fatal in just seconds. Really hope Japan can control it asap.

Thank you

Oopss sorry for the late reply. Here's a summary of my trip.

1st day
Arrived at Incheon at night. Slept there.Quite cold.

2nd & 3rd day
Took the Arex to Gimpo airport. Fly to Jeju for 2 days (not enough!). Stayed at Hiking Inn and rented a van with a driver for the 2 days. The owner, Kevin was very nice, and the van driver, Mr Kim was super nice! He took us to beautiful places around Jeju.

4th day
The real adventure begins on this day. Carrying the huge bagpack up and down the subways. Went to Nami island. The scenery was nice but only the Winter Sonata fanatics would love to come here.Took a bus to Sokcho and stayed at The House Hostel.The owner,Mr. Yun was also super nice! Gave us a detailed map of Sokcho and told us about the interesting places even though we arrived at this house at midnight.

5th day
Went to Mount Sorak. Sad because the cable car was closed due to string wind.  sad.gif Did a bit of hiking but didn't finished the trail. Spent a lot of time taking pictures cos the view was so beautiful! On the way down,saw the cable car operated again, so went up. The view from up there was amazing! Went straight to Seoul that night and check in at Yun Guesthouse.

6th day
Went to Namsan Tower,jalan-jalan at Namdaemun,Dongdaemun, Jewel Park(if I'm not mistaken) and bought a lot of accessories. Just sightseeing. Bought souvenirs at Doota.

7th day
Went to Hanok village. Also to Itaewon to visit the mosque there. Last minute shopping before going back to KL.
All in all,my trip cost me RM2000 including the flights. We saved a lot on food and accomodation. T-money also really cut down our spending.

For those who flying to Seoul next week, the weather will be warmer above 10 degree, not like early last week where it was snowing. those who can't really stand the cold should bring along gloves and moisturiser & lip balm for the cold & dry weather.

Perhaps I can answer on behalf of Laily.
Details for the accommodation can be found through Jeju Hiking Inn website: http://www.hikinginn.com
For van, you will have to contact Mr Kevin Kim via email jeju@hikinginn.com as it is not stated in the website.

Nami Island is just for Winter Sonata fanatics? No other attraction than the 2 row pine trees?

Yeah but very nice scenery and I do enjoy the rural side of S Korea on the way there. no regret. Sumore during my Dec trip there, Only this region snowing whereas Seoul dry & cold only without snow. Very nice scenery indeed. other than Winter Sonata, you can also explore and learn abit of the Island hisory & also an ancient grave yard of General Nami.
