Added on April 22, 2011, 8:58 pmim not so sure about that,but that time i went was late dec like 27th/28th the mountain not much snow just can see very few white particle-like thing flying pass but its awesome though cos too heavy snow isnt good,and at the skiing place to enhance the ice feeling they use some kind of machine to shoot the snow to the air,something like a fan like that. but for now i don think so it would really snow much

yup,i agree with u.it is quite confusing for 1st time traveller.the staff at tickets counter show me this route in small piece of paper when i wanted to buy train ticket to Gapyeong.

100% confirm ur phone will work..if u have activated ur roaming service

Your phone will work if it is a 3G phone.

Crazy internet speed... probably limited by my LAN network speed!



Speed test to Malaysia... can match Unifi

Haha yea you're limited by your LAN.
1Gbps already in testing at certain areas in Seoul (gangnam-gu basically).

It's so ridiculously fast it's not funny.
You can just keep your files in a cloud server and stream it off them, it'll be as fast as opening them from your HDD (heck even faster technically).

I also got the small piece of paper! I guess they already printed out for tourists.

With their card you can top up and use it with LRT, Bus, Shopping, Taxi

i've nvr been to jeju island before,but out of 10 ppl in this thread 8 will include jeju inside their itinerary. hmm... anyone mind to share whats the main attraction there? or better still some pics,picture describe 100 words.

thanks..
but how is the travel card different from t-money, if you don't mind me asking?

I am not sure about the T-Card as I haven't been there but my Aunt stays there and she told me about that stuff.....
It's just like Malaysia Touch & Go card

If you mean Seoul City Pass Card, visit this site. In short there are two seoul city pass cards :

1. Seoul City Pass Card (1day pass, 2day pass, 3day pass) : You can use Seoul buses and subways up to 20 times a day.
- Seoul Buses : Blue, Green, Yellow Buses. But You can't board on Red Bus(intercity buses) , Incheon Buses and Gyeonggi Buses. In short you can only use Seoul buses.
- Seoul Metropolitan Subways (Seoul + Gyeonggi + Incheon). But it's not clear that AREX(Incheon Airport Railroad) is also available.
- Seoul City Tour Bus
- Not Refunded

2. Seoul City Pass Card + : It's basically T-Money Card with some additional functions such as discounts at some tourist location.
- As I said, it's basically T-Money Card. You can use T-Money card almost everywhere in Korea even though it's basically used in Seoul Metropolitan Area(Seoul + Incheon + Gyeonggi). It provides transfer discounts on the basis of Seoul Metropolitan Integrated Fare System(Seoul + Incheon + Gyeonggi). About AREX, you can pay it by T-Money card but Seoul Metropolitan Integrated Fare System is not applied to AREX(both commuter and express train).
- Refunded with some restriction.
