GS25 mart in Airport is under renovation now.. You can try your luck @ the Transportation counter or buy it at AREX station

Sophie, can I ask if the hostel recommended by u (Korea 1 & 2 ) the room attached with bathroom or they have common bathroom/toilet??

You can buy at the shop in front information counter near main boarding gate.. if i'm not mistaken name of the shop ministop..price around 3000won.

so lucky u all met with those that can speak english,that time i went hardly can find anyone speak english,except at the ski resort there met a girl speak quite fluent english,and kinda lenglui i think shes those babysitter help ppl jaga their kids. interact abit but shy la,so just smile only. cos the kid sitting next to me and she is standing up so gave her my place.

Hi Listiani,

They only have shared bathroom.. even for double-bed rooms, we have to use the bathroom outside. In StayKorea II, there are two bathrooms - downstairs and upstairs. 2 dorms and 1 single bed room downstairs; 2 dorms and 2 double bed rooms upstairs.

Even though bathrooms are shared, they are very clean. No dirt no stains etc. They installed air fresheners so no foul smell too.. lol. One thing though, you have to bring your own towels and toiletries.

My trip to Seoul, Korea on 10-Jun to 18-Jun. Plan to stay around dongdaemun area. Dunno want to choose Lees Hotel or New Chonji Hotel.

Any recommendation?

I m going on March 21st


what if on 21st week?


btw does the Lotte world worth it?

lotte world,got alot feedback from previous fellow travellers,they just look nice only but inside is like equal to genting. so i think better go everland,that place is amazingly huge walk till my leg also pain

I going tomorrow night.... anyone at Korea now??

How is the weather gonna be..

Is it compulsory to have international driving license to drive in Korea?

Any car rental company in Jeju that provide car rental service without the need of international license?

Yes it's required to have international driving license to drive in Korea.

Oh!! Man!!! I hate sharing toilet with strangers. I think I should opt for another accommodation room with toilet inside so that I don't have to share toilet with others.

Any recommendation?? I'm looking at Hongik University area.

I saw a guesthouse in Ewha Women Univ area which I found thru internet before my trip but I can't remember the name now.. arghh.. I recommend staying there cos of the massive shops around and cheap food. It's much more alive than the places around Hongik Univ. You can try to search around for hostels around Ewha.

Reviews on Ewha area: http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Asia/..._Area-BR-1.html

There aren't a lot of stuff to see or shop around in Hongik area but a lot more to see in Ewha. It's only 2 subway stops between these two: Hongik - Sinchon - Ewha. Both are actually located near to each other and it's possible to walk from one point to the other.

When you're visiting/staying in Ewha, don't forget to visit the lifestyle store called Kosney - cute stuff, facial products, stationery, home products and even vintage goods too!

I have better photos in another card but.. just showing you one of the main streets of E-dae (Ewha Women Univ area). The streets and alleys are full of stores, cafes, restaurants, mobile, cosmetics, clothes and etc etc..



Taken from a restaurant on 2nd floor. The black bean paste noodles only cost 3800 won, the spicy squid+clam soup noodle cost 4000 won! Best of all, they are super delicious!

My fave drink in South Korea: Yuza Blossom Tea in Holly Cafe. Not cheap, about 4000 won or so but it definitely warms me up and it tastes really good!
