My sister did with her Japanese colleague. Heheheheh!! But she was so embarrassed so she didn't want to go naked. Maybe if she's alone, she'll do it tongue.gif

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.

Jeju is well known for nature's beauty. I am not telling you guys not to go to all the museum's and stuff, but make all the mountains, waterfalls, cliffs, volcano crusts your priority 1st.

Pyoseon Beach if I am not mistaken is at Seogwipo. And Seogwipo is where you will find tempat to makan-makan.

Nightlife in Jeju is almost non-existence hehe.

Hi everyone! =) I'm going to Korea next month for 3 weeks =) All 3 of us are girls and this is our first time backpacking XD I'd appreciate some input on my rough itinerary coz I've been bogged down with work up until now to plan in detail hehe.. We're going to couch surf so accommodation-wise we're covered =) This is my rough itinerary:

Friday, 1st july: Arrive at Korea, 9pm+++ going to spend the night at the airport coz we don't wanna trouble my Korean friend's parents.

2-6th/7th: Seoul

6th/7th-9th: Head to Busan aboard KTO's free shuttle bus(if we get the tickets XD)

10-12th: Gyeongju/Jeonju

13th: Head back to Seoul(If we get the free shuttle bus ticket). Spend 2 days there. Prolly spend 1 whole day in Nami Island lol~

15-18th: Gangwondo

19-22nd: Seoul =) Our flight back to Malaysia is on Friday night.. =)

We've done our research and all but haven't decided where to go in detail haha.. Everything is sorta swimming in our heads but by next week we'd like to finalize our detailed itinerary.

p/s: Would ₩ 45,000 be enough daily? We're breaking it down to;
-> ₩ 10k Admission fees to tourist places, ₩ 20k food, ₩ 15k                                          transport.

Since we're Muslims basically we'll be eating kimbap/bread and serunding brought from malaysia most of the time haha.. We'll prolly eat Korean/tasty food once a day XD

Any input is greatly appreciated =)

Added on June 22, 2011, 4:12 pmHi there sifus! =)

I have a question, how do we use electrical plugs there? The voltage n all..


Added on June 22, 2011, 4:24 pmHi there sifus! =)

I have a question, how do we use electrical plugs there? The voltage n all..

Malaysia C, G (but M for air conditioners and clothes dryers) 240 V (although officially ratified as 230 V) 50 Hz The official mains power voltage is AC 230 V with the tolerance of +10%,-6%.[11] However, the supplied voltage remains at 240 V, as the supplied voltage is within the allowed tolerance. Areas that rely on private power companies, like some parts of Penang and Kedah, receive a true 230 V supply. Remote villages which rely on off-grid localized diesel generators (i.e. small villages and/or isolated holiday resorts on islands too far away from the mainland to have viable underwater cabling) may receive unstable power with higher voltages, with some areas recorded to be as high as 260 V. Type C plugs are very common with audio/video equipment. Plugged into Type G outlets using widely available adapters or forced in by pushing down the shutter. The latter is widely practised, although hazardous. Since the late 90s, dedicated Type C sockets can also be found on some power strips sold in the country for convenience given the wide proliferation of devices with Type C plugs. Type C sockets can also be found on dedicated shaver sockets in bathrooms of many hotels. Type M sockets are normally used for air conditioning (especially if the air conditioner requires a magnetic starter), heavy industrial equipment, spotlights, and less commonly, washers and clothes driers. This is because most modern washers sold in the country are also fitted with Type G plugs and are two-in-one compact units which uses the same tub for washing and drying.

South Korea A, B, C, F (Types A & B are used for 110-volt installations and/or found in very old buildings. Types C & F are used for 220 Volts.) 220 V 60 Hz Type F is normally found in offices, airports, hotels and homes. Type C (type CEE 7/17) sockets are obsolete and manufacture was discontinued as of 2008, but examples are still found in a lot of places. In cases where a Type C socket was replaced with a Type F, the ground contact is often not connected to anything. 220 volt power is distributed by using both "live" poles of a 110 volt system (neutral is not used). 110 V/60 Hz power with plugs A & B were previously used but has already been phased out. Some residents install their own step-down transformers and dedicated circuits, so that they can use 110 V appliances imported from Japan or North America. Most hotels only have 220 V outlets, but some hotels offer both 110 V (Type A or B) and 220 V (Type C or F) outlets. Switches and outlets fit American-sized boxes.
