If on budget try hostelworld.com. give u free Skype credit.

QUOTE(greenhopper @ Nov 2 2011, 07:59 AM)
Fantastic, even cheaper! I thought about using that, but with luggage and all, it would have been difficult having to get to Seoul Station, then switch subways to get to hotel. That's why I used the bus and for first time visitors, probably this is the easiest. Maybe I'll try the AREX next time but need to pack really light smile.gif
*
I took the arex...just like our erl transit but need to walk with luggage.

QUOTE(shahruls @ Nov 2 2011, 12:42 PM)
i'll go to seoul from 7 to 10 november.i google weather forecast and expected weather from 7 - 15 celsius.so i need winter cloth or not? or windbreaker enough? long john+windbreaker or shirt+winter cloth.. and someone mention about rain,is that necessary to bring umbrella from malaysia.i never saw people bring umbrella on plane before.

A jacket is good enuff...only really cold in early morning or night...and when wind blows..hehe


Added on November 3, 2011, 4:52 pmwonder if i should skip mt seorak...my leg is pretty sore after walking 3 palace..and the trip need like 4hrs..and i am going on a day trip.. wink.gif

Asking from directions from locals? On a kind note if that Korean needs to take out his GPS to point you in the right direction then you should probably not take his or her advise. shakehead.gif

LOL..I ask a policeman for changdeok palace and he took out his s2

Oh one more thing, I'm planning to go to Mount Sorak to ski for a day.. how do I get there by myself? I heard its quite tricky to go by myself.. any tours I can take, either book online or when I'm in Seoul? Looking for a day tour to ski, not overnight. Is it really expensive?
*
Are you staying in Seoul?? Going to Mt Sorak takes like 4 hrs 1 way..unless you go very early in morning...and come back.

Ahh nice. Ok thanks! xD

Just wondering if I take a cab from Incheon airport to Seoul.. how much would the fare be? As I have a lot of baggage and its easier to take a cab lol

Would they use the meter?
*
http://www.airport.kr/airport/traffic/bus/...e=1189392191325

you can try the airport bus, it stops at many places i believe. I took one from my hostel to the airport about 10k won.

cheaper than taxi and you have place to store your luggage as well. No need to carry it around if u take subway.

Those intended to use combination of AREX & Subway, try to travel light & use backpack instead or roller luggage.

I used roller luggage to Seoul and learnt a lesson there especially switching subway lines..well..some of underground walkway from one line to another is not near to each other.. furthermore not all with excalator.. so imagine carrying an almost 17kg luggage up & down many subway stations starircase..phewww....My recent Beijing trip, I used backpack instead & travel superlight & only bring few clothing wth me after my previos Seoul winter trip. & I bought additional backpack in Bijing to accomodate more souvenirs & purchases back to m'sa haha.

BTW, those travel during winter, dun bring too many cloths...just change one in 2-3 days can dy. you will not get sweat even walking 10km till your leg cramp haha.
*
hehe..you are right, somemore some hostel got free laundry..just wash lor. and you can buy your winter clothes in Namdaemun...so many choice tongue.gif

My luggage was only 10kg for 12 days with one light backpack and i find it troublesome to use subway dy...


also, take the airport commuter train like our ERL transit instead of the AREX which stops only at seoul station...much cheaper and only 10 minutes more..
