weird question u have..of coz have lar.. eating in korea is similiar to eating korean food in malaysia wat..
*
not entirely correct. we (10person) been to a quite famous BBQ restaurant i guess,their biggest table is for 6 i guess,but we say nvm we can squeeze..n they start showing dark faces,beh song attitude.. probably becoz they famous they can show attitude.lol..
unless they got 10person table then ok lah..

since u travel wif 10 ppl.. so it's troublesome in term of food, transport n etc? wanna survey more biggrin.gif
*
food still ok lah..juz the table seating issue,but we can juz split up since we going 4couples 2 frens.lol.. transport we 98% take subway,so wont be an issue..if u really need to take taxi, the least is provide them the Korean name of the place u wanna go. u show them english no use liaw.haha.. but so far all the attractions,restaurant are reach-able by walking.

what i hate most(about travelling in group) is we agree 8am start our journey,then they take their time brush teeth la,breakfast la then in the end 9am or even 10am only start. a big NO NO if u got a slightly pack schedule.. must tell then 1st,if late,leave them! brows.gif
thats why i only get to SEE in Everland only. vmad.gif becoz fren take their time sleep late late.

Baggage storage service sure hv..even LCCT hv,but they charge by hourly rate eh..costly somemore..so i guess Incheon or Gimpo charge based on hour also?
by the way, u're going Jeju 5 person,taxi wont fit 5person rite? unless u plan to take MPV.. if the Jeju ticket include luggage,might as well drag along? better than u waste hundreds ask ppl jaga luggage for u ba. biggrin.gif

so COEX and yeoju probably not worth going right. Itaewon too.

Everland any good things for old folks? if it's only for children then no point also
*
45-60 to Everland mayb a bit tired? since Everland is quite far from town. <1hour i think n i assume u got own private bus lah.lol
why dun consider Lotte World? got themepark n lots of other things to see too..no need to worry too hot or rain coz indoor also.

Hi everybody,

i'm 1st time going to Seoul.

I am going to Dongdaemun on this 18 July - 25 July. I still can't find cheap hotel/inn. Now it is summer holiday. Majority of the hotel fully book.

My bugdet just oni RM150-RM170 per night.

I want to ask about guesthouse/ hostel is it sharing toilet with other people?

Any nice guesthoue/hostel to introduce that have personal toilet near Dongdaemun night market?

Or any comfortable budget hotel/inns near Dongdaemun night market as well?

Thanks for sharing.
