Yeah, for day 1 we plan to visit the western side of the island, the sites are some of the famous attraction in western side, other than this I'm not sure what other attractions.O’sulloc green tea Mount’ Sanbang Cheonjeyeon Waterfall Dinner (Black Pork Street ) on Day 2. do you plan to view sunrise from Seongsan Illchulbong? if yes, you need to go there first on Day 3. you plan to hike mt halla during winter time? Yeongsil - Nambyeok Bungijeom trail estimate around 3hrs each way and it's better to check the hiking time as time differ during winter season I dun think we can make it for the Sunrise, because either we stay in Jeju-si or Seogwipo we still need to drive 2hours + to Seongsan. For day 3 ya.. just a short hike up and come down back not planning to hike all the way. |

Hi folks, i recently returned from South Korea and have about 16000 WON ( worth RM48 ) left with me. I don't have use for the currency so i'm wondering if anyone of you who might be going to Korea soon and is willing to exchange with me.
Money changers don't take anything below 20000 won so that's why i cant make an exchange with them. Willing to exchange for RM 45 kindly pm me for details  |

Hi, just to share my remaining trip to Seoul this december. In my previous post i've covered Jeju, now it's the mainland time. Basically i got 5 full days in Seoul (Mon - Friday) will be flying back on Saturday morning,so I'm planning to sleepover in Incheon airport. Heard many people praise the airport for being very friendly to travellers who want to sleepover while waiting for flight
Here's my itinerary for the 5 days, Day 4. (Mon) - Namdaemun Market - Deoksugung Palace - Cheonggyecheon Stream - Namsan Park, Seoul Tower - Namsangol Hanok Village - Ewha Woman university shopping street Day 5. (Tue) - Yongpyong Ski Resort Day 6. (Wed) - Seoraksan Day 7. (Thur) - Nami Island - Petite France - Dongdaemun Shopping. Day 8. (Fri) - Free and easy around Seoul before going to Incheon airport at night Day 9. (Sat) - Fly back |
