It's better to look around guest house area. You can get the help of the guest house owner to bargain for you, which they will always win.

Another one thing, with this Goh-hyung, he wont charge you cross boundary like what I've explained in my previous post. So 90k Won full day across that 4 district.

I dont have his number or email, but at Tae Gong gak, the owner Sylvia is the one who does all the booking to get Goh-hyung.

I can ask Sylvia if you are really interested.

did you contact them about this? coz I saw in the website only room 102 & 206 require a 2 day min stay.. it doesn't saya anything about the rest of the room.

Yes, I did email to them and Sylvia personally reply to me. I decided to book 02 nites because on Day 01 I will arrive at 9am. I want to chk in first and freshen up before go for my tour. Therefore, I book 02 nites.

hey all~, to all the Single backpacker who has visited Seoul.
Can u recommend a backpacker hostel that has single room? Walking distance from subway.

Ive came up with a new. Anyone of you who has stayed here b4?

Zaza backpackers
Backpackers Korea - Sinchon
Backpackers Korea - Dongaedum
Stay Korea I

I do not recommend Tae Gong Gak. I send email to book 02 nites even though I stay 1 nite (I arrive early on Day 01) but Sylvia refused my booking. Reason being, I stay 1 nite. I wonder, why can't she take 02 nites booking since I wanted to chk in early?? It is normal for any accommodation to practice that.

I will not go the place where my money is not needed. She shouldn't be in the tourism industry. She does not know what flexibility is.

Anyone knows where to get tasty and affordable Bibimbap in Seoul? Preferably Hongdae area. But I do not mind anywhere else as long as it is somewhat reachable by public transport.

Check this out: Seoul Food Tour

Through not bibimbap; i might give it a try. Provided if i can find the place ho!ho!

Tq. Looks nice!

did anybody try the flying fox @ Nami Island?? hehehe..

i'm in korea right now, jeju to be specific.
been to busan last 2 days, my friends and i rode free shuttle bus from seoul to busan...

busan was quite okay la, nothing much to see...
jeju is a very good place to visit. apart from the shower the weather is just lovely.
public transport is okay, just the people could not speak english much..
still need someone who can speak korean to not sesat here...

i still have one more week to go...
will be going back to seoul the day after tomorrow..
any recommendation on must-visit places?

fiza_love..

story a bit about your jeju stay.. going there after raya. where do you stay? where did you go? How many days?? TQ

i've been here for 2 days already..
i'm currently staying in yeha guesthouse, quite near to the airport and city centre..
friendly staff, easy access to bus and very near to the main street if you ever need to flag a taxi..
similar to guesthouse i've been to busan, yeha guesthouse has kitchen for the guests to cook their own food..

i've been to jungang underground shopping centre, dongmun market and jungmun,seogwipo area..
with cab, i paid less than krw5000 to get to the shopping centre from yeha and dongmun market is within walking distance from there. and for jungmun, i took a bus direct from yeha with only krw2500..
dongmun market offers variety of seafood, very fresh..

in jungmun i've only been to the teddy bear museum, sound island museum, chocolate museum and cheonjeyeon waterfall jungmun..all are walkable form each other..
there are many other attractions like botanical garden, ripley's museum, museum of africa, folk village etc which i've yet to go..
most of the attractions that i went in are less than krw8000

oh and t-money from seoul is usable in jeju.. only in busan their t-money is different

Local calls the teddy bear, ripley's, museum of africa etc, as tourist traps. Although that didnt stop me to go there hehe. But teddy bear museum really dissapoint me. You should go to Seongsan Ilchulbong at least. You wont regret it.

Anyone tried the Jjimjilbang~? aka public bath house?
Ho ho~!

Have to go naked in public If you don't mind going around naked with others in the Jimjibang, go ahead

Hmmm the Teddy bear museum at the namsan tower looks quite interesting though. They use Teddy bears to narrate their history if I am not mistaken. Didn't go there though. Saw pics of my colleagues. I went atop the namsan tower instead.

which one is better?? in Namsan Tower or Jeju Island?

I think Jeju's Teddy Museum is bigger and better. I was dissapointed because that place wasnt worth the price. Should be a lot cheaper. Yeah the re-enact history by using the bears as model.

Have u tried? i Guess thats the only time we can experience it WHILE backpacking alone
No one knows you, you know no one..
If you were to backpack with friends, i dont think we'll even have the slightest idea to go HAH

Naked in Jjimjilbang.. I thought only in onsen?? at least when my fren when in they did not encounter any of those..
I don't wanna see any more naked ppl.. I've seen enough in Europe..
