That's the itinerary after done research from google maps..google...visitkorea page...
Since you familiar with korea, which 1 is a bad planning...actually is going back to the same place?
Do you mean day 4 and day 5?

day 4
Myeongdong Nanta show
Hongdae
Ehwa Women University
Coex Underground Mall, Gangnam

day 5
Lotte world
Lotte mart
Elandcruise
*
For me from Myeong dong travel to Hongdae, explore and shop around Hongdae, it's going to take more than half a day already. coz tbh, hongdae is actually quite big.

Unless its just a fast pace exploration. lol

Finally, thanks thanks for the advice. That's what I need.  wub.gif
Nanta show not yet book, still early?
I'm going to Gyeongbokgung on Sunday. Is it ok?
I already check the closing day for place I plan to go.

Which lotte mart is the famous 1? The one I plan to go is nearby Lotte world.
Still not sure going for cruise on Elandcruise. Just slot it in first. biggrin.gif
Icic. Actually since I going to Ehwa Women University, so I just slot Hongdae(since is just nearby?).
If got time can have a walk and explore a bit at Hongdae.
Any specific place in Hongdae I should and must visit?  tongue.gif
*
first all is shopping, not those shopping mall type. (which might take u long time tongue.gif )

then of coz with some nice cafe, & hongik university.

if u are a kopo fan, u might wanna take a visit to YG ent building.

But again, all this depends on individual. if u not interested in all this, u can easily finish it within half a day.

Hi guys, the last I went to Seoul was like 3 years ago. Next month, I will be going to Seoul-Busan. Which card is the best for MRT?

I used T-Money, is it still the same? Where to get this card from Incheon airport? Last I recall I went down to a couple of levels in the terminal and bought from a convenience store.

Thanks.
*
What u mean if T-Money is still the same?

Yup, there's a 7-11 in lower floors in Incheon.

Hi Yvonnesoo, thx for replying. I'm staying at k-guesthouse 3 at myeongdong. Killer stairs? No elevator or lift? Lolz. By the way, roughly how much will the taxi cost be?
*
it's really really expensive. my brother went there once and he took cab (coz can claim tongue.gif ) but i remember he told me like around RM200 or more than that..Not sure the exact amount, but it's definitely not those reasonable price..unless u are bringing elders, then no choice la.

if u really wanna take cab, take from Seoul station to Myeong dong. Frankly speaking, from airport to Seoul station not a big problem via AREX. but once u reached Seoul station, u have to walk a bit to transit from AREX to their normal subway.
