Now that you mentioned it, only I realised halal food is so expensive!! And I keep telling my friends that food is cheaper than japan but then again, i'm a non-halal eater.

Yeah, halal food is expensive. For me, I don't mind eating seafood (not neccesarily muslim restaurant). We ate seafood/ikan bakar in Dongdaemun, food is good and price is ok. Not too expensive. Near Myeondong also have 1 shop selling nasi goreng seafood. Is pork free. We had our dinner there on the 1st day we arrive.

In Myeondong, i feel their price is too expensive and too commercialize for tourist.

Hongik university there the food is cheap and good too.


Did anyone of you went to Lotte duty free in Myeondong ? (inside lotte department stall but is upper level)
You all can purchase thing there, they will deliver the items to Incheon Airport when leaving that time so that u no need carry around with you.

The restaurant we went in Myeondong charge KRW15000 for a big plate of nasi goreng sea food. The 4 of us have to finish the nasi goreng even though we were already full. The portion is big. So I guess worth our money

Lotte duty free not cheap ler!! Not worth buying there.

tis is wat i thought oso.. TS trip run from here n there.. lolz

btw, do u haf d full name for the miniland?

Hahahha!! Yeah, that's why I call touch n go tour. The name is Jeju Mini Mini Land.

Actually, driving in Jeju is a breeze due to less traffic. So you can concentrate driving and look for the signboard. The sighboard is clear and in English. If you have Jeju map, it shows the alternative route. That's why I keep asking you if you have a map. If you have a map with all those places pointed in the map, you will have an idea how to move around. I got the map from Jeju KTO during MATTA Fair because they don't have it in KTO Jln P. Ramlee.

When you touch down Jeju Airport, from the arrival gate - move straight (Tourism Counter) the staff there even come n great us and ask are we
tourist and frm which country. (Request from them the English Map)

Usually in the GPS will show u which road number you using and do compare with the actual map. (GPS alwys bring you to highway but distance is further)

if you know the actual destination, check the road number ... you wont get lost one






The Lotte Duty Free burn my pocket laaa....bought Coach bag there...

ic.. so the Trick Art museum is near to Jeju Mini Mini Land?

oh do u mean if we haf d map, it will at least show d alternative route (short cut)? wat i mean at least frm d map we can estimate where is d shortcut cz usually d road shown on the map is very tiny. awww.. i dun haf d map lately no MATTA fair.. maybe coming end of year.. gonna go take it.. or will it available in Jeju airport??

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.

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.

Yeah, the name is CityGate. I noticed too HK way more cheaper to shop. I shop a lot too when I was there.

Anyone tried to purchase KR Pass successfully from Korail website? I tried so many times to make the payment but it kept on stated 'Transaction Communication Error'.
Is there any other way to buy the KR Pass?

what browser did you use? i found out that many websites in south korea only work correctly with internet explorer.

Ladies and gentleman, I'm planning with my friend to go to Korea this autumn but i cant seem to find any interesting place in the 1st page. Any recommendations from those who have been there and mind to share your experience?

I have checked KOrea official website but still doesnt amuse me.

Does 60,000won too much for 1-day meals for 1 person? Includes breakfast,lunch,dinner and snacks.

If non-halal eater, you can budget about 6000 won per meal. Snacks - not sure, I never took snacks coz the main meals are already very filling.

60k won for 1 person a day...a lot liao. You can BBQ every meal I think. Even expensive bulgogi 30k won 1 plate very nice liao

average meal pricing
lunch around 6000 won
dinner around 10000 won
macdonald less than 4000 won during lunch hour
