Last year,mid November already started snowing..

Guys ,can u rec me place to stay nearby Kyung hee Uni area?I'm planning to go on this early sept for a short trip.I read tht the weather will be still warm in sept..not sure if i should bring more layers to prepare for autumm there.Please advice ^^

guys.. i'll be attending a concert at Kyung Hee Uni hall.Now thinking of where to stay..not necessary have to be in dongdaemun area(KHU is in this place,right?),since i read that its accessible by bus/train easily? Please advise where to stay best as i'll be traveling alone...haha..abit chicken out dy.My budget would be RM100-rm200 max per night,private room-personal toilet.

Also how is nightlife in seoul? i don't mean the pubs and all the happening places.i'm thinking if i can roam freely without worrying too much on safety at night there,say maybe visit han river .....alone.

Any rec ? thanks !!

soraksan for elderly at the age of 60..hmm..sound tiring for them lor.Maybe Jeju better.

@Lexy thanks for the rec.

Btw,can u guys help me with budget planning..sorry.first time travel alone bit anxious.

for 5nights/6days enough in Seoul area only.

Foods = RM600
Transportation = RM600 ( planning to take subway and bus if possible,except maybe on return might be boarding airport shuttle since with heavy luggage)
Others = RM600 ( not sure.maybe entrance fees to museum or something.Phone rental etc)
shopping = RM1K ? haha..mulayo~
Accommodation = RM600-700 ?

also, is the subway convenient for heavy luggage traveler?Well just in case if certain subways have no escalators.I just need confirmation as i hv to change hotels in between trip.Cab would be pricey so my alt would be buss or subway only

Please advise.Kamsamida ~

If i were to stay here, would it be inconvenient to go Seoul,Heogi KHU ? This place looks so homey and clean ( i very OCD ) and the most attractive part is they offer a reasonable airport pickup service.There i can save up on spending airport bus dy~

Anyone cares to share review?

How far is Incheon from Seoul,KHU etc? Is this place accessible by buses subway etc?As i need to travel alone using subway,im not sure if this is worth it.Please advise ~

@7989k Thanks for the reply. 1Hr trip ! gasp... ><

is coex aquarium worth it at the price of RM50+ ? Maybe quite of a subjective question but do let me know your thoughts ^^ .

My frens commented " RM50 ?? See ikan ?? better grab few more clothes at market XD" .That's shopaholic's points of view..since im not too much into shopping (seoul aint cheap anyway) so i think better ask u guys ..haha

hahaha..in tht case maybe think cycling at Han river better...

Btw,any girls group here travelling from 2th -9th sept 2011 ? i wanted to stay here but....they only have family rooms =_='

Guys,what r the items that not allowed to be bring out of Korea on AA ? Say if i wan to check in a box or hand carry a bag fulls with dry/wet foods such as abalone,dried squid,watever.. can this bypass the customs? Just checking since i heard there are some prohibited items..

I mean type of foods.Sorry for not being specific But thanks for the reminder ^^

Part of my earlier research,i found this place really cosy. www.lazybirdguesthouse.com They even provide free hanbok for you to try on.I've not been here though but just communicate with the owner,Liz via email.She is really helpful and fluent in eng
