QUOTE(anechoic @ Feb 29 2012, 11:31 AM) prepare for queue madness..even on normal days alot of ppl there already..queue up 45mins just for the T-express anechoic, thanks for your reply  yah all the palaces got a booth to sell that ticket.. its 4+1 including jongmo shrine..   read on some travel blogs that usually on Chuseok there will be less people in Everland as most Koreans will celebrate with their families at home.. Of course there will still be lots of foreigners Actually I am not keen on the rides, but love themeparks all the same! Is it worth to go or shall I go with my friend to the auraji rail bike? The thing is the auraji rail bike is quite far away (like mentioned above about 3-4 hours bus ride). Is there a direct bus to the place? am quite worried also as it might not be operating due to the Chuseok holidays. |

Listiani : I checked at http://www.eastarjet.com. Is that the correct address? it indicate that the special fares (which is really cheap) for the earliest flight to jeju & latest flight back to gimpo has sold out
checked jeju air too, haven't open for booking yet for end of sept. |

Listiani,
Need your advise on how to travel about to Nami Island and La Petite France...noticed that you've been to both the same day. I am also planning to cover both places in the same day, but not sure how to go about... hope to get some advise from you thanks in advance! |

QUOTE(Listiani @ May 13 2012, 04:09 PM) I remember the journey, but I don't remember the train station name coz got several interchange. I am in Thailand now. I'll be back tmrw. I give you the details tmrw. thanks Listani... await your further advise BTW, from Gapyeong (the station where you have to stop to go Nami Island), you can take taxi to Nami Island. Cost only KRW3000. Upon arrival in Gapyeong station, chk out the Tourist Information Centre. Get the brochure on shuttle bus schedule so that you can plan what time you can leave Nami Island to Petite France. Once you arrive Petite France, chk out what time the shuttle bus service from Petite France to Gapyeong station. As for me, from Petite France I took shuttle bus to the nearest train station. Bus fare cost KRW5000. But I don't remember the train station's name. I need to look at my note first. |

You can use T-Money card all the way from Subway Line 1 to Gapyeong. |

I will be heading to Korea next week, spending few days in Jeju Island. Bought air tickets via Eastar Jet, wondering if I can check in online (similar to Air Asia) or do I check in at the counter 2 hours before the flight departs?
Kindly advise. Thanks in advance |

just back from korea last week.. awesome trip! so many things to do/places to go that I can't possibly fit in 9 days. Jeju Island is a must visit place, beautiful scenery and u really feel very relaxing there
was too early for the autumn foliage, was told the best time would be end of Oct. but managed to see some trees turning red/yellow in nami island and everland. definitely will plan another trip there again! |
