May I know whether is it really tough for backpackers to go South Korea due to language problem? How's their english or even mandarin, is it somewhere near hong kong?

I don't actually like to go with travel tour. Prefer go by myself, but worry language barrier.

Added on February 7, 2012, 5:40 pmcan try to go udo island and phonix island. both attractions r not well known by the foreigner...but this 2 place really do amaze me...go there if u have extra time.

Most forumers here have not been to Jeju during winter, I think. But for me, I'll take the risk to visit Jeju during winter because Nami is actually quite near and reachable by train from Seoul and you can do the tour in a day whereas Jeju u need to fly from Seoul. I am sure the Sunrise Peak still in Jeju during winter.

Budget like how much? I been twice. First time 5k for 20 days which include some days spend in taipei, moderate shopping. Second visit 20 days purely in Korea. I only spend 2.7 k include airasia but with minimal shopping as that time was winter not much to buy..
Anyway since u have 8 days in Korea I recommend spend at least 3 to 4 days in jeju is a must..

yes eastarjet or aseana(the name some sort like that) 5k is alot for 8days..i can recommend things n hotel in jeju n attractions. just tell me what u expect from jeju..museum? hiking? scenery..?i have done all sort of thing in jeju...i even done one of the ole ole route which is about 17km by walking in jeju. and there r islands that most foreign dont gowhich i thinkis quite impressive.in seoul i not an expert cause i dun really like seoul except shopping cosmetic.other than that it is just a city, nothing much.. maybe u can spend a night in sokcho and next day morning hike the mt seroksan and visit nami island. if u have an exratime maybe u can visit busan which i like more than seoul.

I estimate budget of 5k but hope could save up more. Right now, I just spent rm800 on airasia.

Hotel and the rest are not yet been plan. and yes, I plan to go Jeju however koreaair is out of tix. Any other domestic plane can intro?

Sorry but I'm totally busy with stuff and just got a lil time to plan about it. So asking any of you all would be much better than researching myself.

Added on February 9, 2012, 11:20 pmi strongly recommend taek gong gak hostel. lovely pplace and owners. owners speak well english n vey helpful.the area s in seogwipo area very neat to restaurants n other attraction.hiking inn only suitable for those who wanna hike for hallasan. yes u can drive, driving there is more relax than malaysia .i sure u will enjoy it..but i not sure u can have an english GPS there, otherwise will be very hard to find a location.regarding recommendation for car rental company i have no idea, cause i never drive there before..most of the time i rent a car with driver n take bus..

I second Tae Gong Gak hostel!!! The rooms are clean, the price is affordable and the breakfast's greeattt! E-mail them and get them to arrange a taxi for your tour. The owner Sylvia will be very glad to help you out. smile.gif

In fact, we went trekking on one of the days and she even sent us to the starting point.

Nope, the whole journey would take a few weeks right? I managed to finish Route #7, not too bad but at certain points the wind was so strong that we were freezing like hell.

Which route did you take? biggrin.gif

Also, I went to their website just now. I noticed they put up all the photos and drawings they received frm the visitors. Managed to find ours. thumbup.gif
