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.

Back from my Korea trip last2 week. The expenses there in Korea is not expensive as I thought. Of course compared to the price in Malaysia is far off. But, the portion u pay for is worth. During my stay in Korea, I eat some Rm20 worth lunch can make me tahan till night. I'M a huge eater.

Korea is a bit bored if you stay in Seoul only. That what my previous trip were. Because all those myeongdong, insadong, dongdaemun (place that I stay), hongdae , all looks the same. Maybe because we were guys so, not interested. But for ladies all these streets are full of girl fashion, cosmetics and stuff. So, it's a heaven for ladies. When in Korea, don't save money. Just eat and buy. Its a fun country.

It's a safe country where you come back late also no worries. Late night as in 2-3am walking also not much deal as it's pretty safe. I seen many pretty ladies walking home late at night behind alleys without worry. I'm quite impress with the sense of security where we can't find in Malaysia.

ENJOY!!:-)

Bbq pork are everywhere. The only difference is the price and whether the menu have any English indocation. If you mean BBq pork Buffet. Then, I dint recall any in my area. Sorry. Maybe you need to walk around and explore more.

Exactly...during my first 2days in Korea, Im aware of people around me fearing that they will rob you or something. But then I started to realised the friendliness. I start to loose myself. LOL. typical Malaysian here. Or probably watched too much of the movie TAKEN. :-) I did some awfully bad thing to my travel mates durimg the first 2day. Feel so bad. :-(

Nami Island is a definite place to go. If you are going during Autumn/spring then you are probably going to have a day of unimaginable of natural beauty. During my trip, it was all greens not much different. Lol. But still im contented with it.Also excellent for photo taking.

Err, apart from this you may try on the military experience. The border line between North Korea and South Korea. The Panmunjeom tour. This requires a local tour. I'm sorry I can't provide any tour info i forget. You either Google or find some Korean friends to help.

I actually plan to go to Soraksan as well but we are limited time and it's a journey to go there from Seoul. So, we dint go for have a look or took some hiking. But my Korean friend recommend go there have a look. So it's up to you. That's all I know. If other place than Seoul. Maybe Busan and Jeju? that's what a typical tourist will go. Lol.

Friend, the price depends on your itineary la.

A normal food price there around 20-25. Huge portion as well. I travel within Seoul using subway. It cost me approx 80k won. U do the math.
