Hello all, i will be undergoing my cultural exchange in Pukyong university Bushan this coming June. WOuld like to know,how much the fees for flight tickets needed to and fro from KL to Seoul? any ideas whether a bus transport available for which i can take from Seoul to reach Bushan?
How much the fees?

thanks for the info, guys!~
well, i got to bear in mind that the 3 k after reduction in air fares( i guess to and from would cost me around 2k right?), only left 1k for meals, do you think is enough to survive in Bushan? according to the brochure given, stated there is US 350 for meals for the whole 1 month, so is that possible?

The fastest way to travel to busan upon arrival would be from Incheon Airport (AREX) -> Seoul Station (KTX) -> Busan. Total journey would be about 4.5 hours. Cost of Arex = 3,700 won, Cost of KTX to busan would be roughly around 45k to 50k won.

It really depends how much is ur flight. RM 3k for expenses of 1 month would definitely be more than enough.

that mean From Seoul to Bushan ,along the way i need RM 300 for 2 ways trip. i guess the bus transportation for visiting places of interest is relatively cheap right? got to plan my journey now, as i will have to prepare a budget for my 1 month trip there .Ohya, how is the season of Korea around June?

RM 1k for meals is a bit tight for 1 month. Though, possible.
Imagine u eat in school, average of 3,000 won per meal. 3 meals per day, 9,000 won. 30 days 270k won, which is still less than RM 1k. However, u have to consider that sometimes u will have ur meals outside of school when u are travelling. U also have to factor in ur transport. I would say, RM 2k for ur expenses for 1 month should be sufficient with minimal shopping.

Try to save on air fare if possible. Airasia flight isn't that bad after all. I've taken MAS business class to Korea before.

Weather would be like Malaysia, summer. May be slightly colder.

@ Mr Seng,
i see, well, i think mostly i got to be saved for my 1 month trip and yes i shall consider too the transport fees and shopping, eating out, buying souveniers etc...that alone would cost me roughly more than that.

i have searched through the Air Asia website, the fees for the flight tickets two ways , would probably cost me RM1300, ( if i am gonna go for Regular Seat).

have you been to Bushan before? smile.gif

Yes, I've been there twice. Love it there. Less crowded as compard to Seoul. Things are slightly cheaper too! As for transport, there's this 1 day pass where u can purchase at 3,500 won where u can travel for whole day unlimited. So if u only travel during weekends, that would be just good. Busan alone doesn't have much of an attraction, if u would like to tour around I would suggest Gyeongju and Jeju Island. Love them. biggrin.gif

Added on March 24, 2011, 1:15 amOh ya, if u wanna save money from Seoul -> Busan. Feel free to take the shuttle bus. It saves u a lot of money but costs u twice as much time.

Yes n i did heard before stuffs thereare slightly cheaper, well, i guess travelling to Seoul city from Bushan wont cause much a hectic right?

6 Hours ride is slightly more than the journey i took from Penang to KL.

One more thing is that, RM1500 is more than enough for basic 3 meals per day in Bushan for a month there right?

Well, i also did consider about the risk of radiation at South Korea since it is quite near to its neighbouring country Japan. How much does it concern you?
