I think i am the only one here who followed tour LOL.

Hi

Anyone from Korea in here? How is the weather currently?
Im going over on April Wk 3 on free and easy..will arrive Incheon late at night..anybody knows when is the last AREX trip to Seoul Station? If using taxi what will be the cost?

Time table from the line of 1st pg..here
http://english.arex.or.kr/jsp/eng/index.jsp

If worry just take limousne bus.. Taxi..better dun lor, the distance from Incheon to Seoul is not near. ~ 50-60km away just like from KLIA to PJ. You will be expecting a bomb using taxi. Last time I stucked at Gimpo airport at nite and the distance to city ~ 20km also I kena 40,000 won liao!

40k Won for Midnight Rate ok lah...... Haneda to Tokyo City also around 30 KM at Midnight rate are around 8,000 Yen = RM 300 Compare to Korea 40,000 Just RM108

That's from Gimpo not from Incheon hor..and Seoul MRT, bus and taxi is much reasonable and cheaper than Tokyo for sure. Kenot conmpare this way!... Just take Seoul MRT it's just 900won (~ RM2.60) for ~ 10km radious..Tokyo, even 1 stantion already 160yen or RM6 liao

If Unker been to Tokyo first then only go to South Korea....I think Unker already no complaint on that 40k won.

160Yen for those Japanese like RM1.60 feeling....Only our money are too small for them.
Example like those 440Yen food you like ...for them is like a RM4.40 meal ...


Subang Airport to KL also near ...The normal Taxi coupon also need RM50

Seoul kenot be compare to Japan lah..The cost of living is 1X cheaper than Japan haha.. bcos exchange rate only ~ 2,80 compare to Japan 3.8.. Avg food there also ~ 4000-5000 won just like KL minus the 3 zero except X2.8

BTW, Seoul remained one of my record breaking kiamsiap style budget travel:

miss the weather there ..
must.come.back.!!

OK since you're on budget similar to most of ppl here..My recent trip of 6D4N can be used as guideline. I EXCLUDE hotels & air ticket bcos already paid in advance. You can prebook hotels using the link on 1st page (innotel, hostelworld or agoda)

Wth the AAX tickets & hotel excluded, I changed ~RM2170 cash into Won (well to USD 1st thereafter won). Yesterday, I changed back the whole US$218 available and got back RM680 So total spending only ~RM1500 AND this was for 3 persons!! (Avg exchange rate at 2.85)

Rough idea of how I spent my RM1300 there (for 3 pax)"

- T-Money 33,000w X3 but got back 3600w X3 at the end of the day. (~RM260)
- Daily food for 3 X3 (Brunch & dinner - some meal simple convenience shop kimbap & drinks ) ~ 12,000w X2 X3 X 4 nites (~RM820)
- Souvenir, entrance tickets, Taxi & etc ~180,000won (RM520)

this is 1 people 1500 or 3 people 1500? 3 people 1500 seem unbelievable...even going to bangkok cost more.

Hi...just back from Seoul this morning. Wanna share my experience to those going to Jeju. Always safer to buy air ticket from airline with bigger plane e.g. 737-400 above especially when there's extremely windy condition in Jeju. My flight from Jeju to Busan apparently got cancelled due to strong wind condition on that day. Was told that all possible flights out of Jeju was taken up on the same day. Luckily a ground staff of a bigger airline had an initiative to find 2 available tickets for me and my wife. Really thank you for her effort...else will be stranded in Jeju for another 2 days. 1 minus point in Jeju airport despite being an international airport, their announcements all in Korean.

Which airline you take from Seoul to Jeju?? I am worried now coz my sisters and I will fly with Jet Eastar.
