Not really near but the same direction. From Mini Mini Land, we passed by Seoryani Forest Path also.

The map show highway and kampung road. With that map you can actually agak2 how to drive when you use the normal road instead of the highway. The map I got from KTO Jeju Tourism Organisation during MATTA Fair is very good. Very details. Not sure if is the same one from Jeju airport.

MATTA Fair coming in August/Sept. I am waiting for MATTA Fair also. To collect some brochure/map on NZ. Plan to visit NZ March 2013.  rclxms.gif

Added on June 7, 2012, 3:09 pmThe GPS cannot locate everything ler!! Couldn't located Fantastick Show site. We use the map to the site. It is Jungmun area. Near Chocolate Museum & Lotte Hotel.

Coach is cheaper in Hong Kong. I forgot the shop name but it is in Lantau Island. If go to Disney HK, the train stop at this mall station also.

Me and my family were planning a year-end trip and we thought of Korea as a possible destination.
The probable departure date would be around Christmas (meaning the last week of Dec) and the trip duration would most probably be around 7~8 days.
So I know it's gonna be winter and it's gonna be pretty cold. Two questions come to mind:

1. Is it recommended to go Korea during this period of time if we don't plan on skiing?
2. How cold is it really and is it bearable enough to enjoy the trip?

Thanks guys!

u mention u n ur family.. it's all young adults or mixture of kids, young adults n senior adults? well, my sis (young adult) went to Korea last yr during xmas time.. she told me tat sometimes it's unbearable n quite troublesome especially whn u wanna take pics. really freezing n u don't feel like wanna stay outdoor n take pic. imagine taking pic wif bulky gloves kekeke.. she need to took off her gloves whenever she wanna take pic. u haf to wear winter clothes, covering ur ears n mouth, etc.. bt anyway, she did enjoy the whole trip cz it's her first time experience winter. quite excited. imho, if u r afraid of cold, better go during autumn or spring season.. during winter, some attractions is close

My family consists of both my parents (45+), 2 siblings (18~20) and myself (20+)  smile.gif
I'm living in Melbourne so I am quite used to cold weather, although nothing as extreme as Korean winters and my sibling is living in Japan so he should be quite used to the winter there.
When you mention attractions being closed, what sort specifically?
*
ic. so i assume ur parents shouldn't be a prob as well..

i remembered my sis told me n i read b4 on website stated tat some attractions is either closed early or closed. u need to search for more info.. sorry can't help.. cz never been to korea during winter.. haha

Just need some questions answered for those who have travelled to Seoul.

1. Is RM1k enough for 4D3N inclusive of Air Asia flight tickets, accommodation, food and shopping?

2. Are there sakura blossoms in Seoul? Which are the best spots and time of sakura watching?

3. Did you use a travel guide or phrase book to get around?

4. Where to get the best ja jjang myun?

Thanks!
*
err.. i dun think RM1k inclusive all tat u mention is enough.. cz "SHOPPING" is included in ur list sweat.gif

I already read all the posts fro version 3thread.
Would like to ask has anyone went to korea covered jeju, seoul and busan? What is yr first, second and last destination? What mode of transport u guys used? How many days to cover these places? FYI I'm going for 10 days and planning 2nights at jeju busan 1nite and the rest at seoul. If got time will tour dmz as well.
*
err.. to be honest.. 10 days u can either go seoul n busan or seoul n jeju or busan n jeju (if u feel wanna skip seoul tongue.gif) cz it's nt enough time.. if u wan to explore is more freely n without rushing.. actually busan is quite big.. seoul itself alone 7 days oso nt enough tongue.gif
