QUOTE(yvonnesoo @ Jul 13 2016, 10:07 AM) look like lotsa foreigners? your cam no get splash? Got quite a few foreigners. Handphone then put in friend's bag. you tell me which popular destination that have less PRC visitors? There are some far off places don't have mainlander tourists. Last year I went to 울릉도 which is a pitstop for people going to 독도. There weren't any mainlanders there. Some angmo only. Places that no blogs had covered. Which is why I hate travel blogs |

Blogs bring them to places that normally Koreans won't go and since those blogs that are top hits on google are mostly from a few years back, some of them are outdated. |

And new sites will be constructed. For example, the "new" park in between Hongdae and Yeonnam-dong. Many new restaurants and cafes there but most Malaysian blogs wouldn't know about those. There's a bah kut teh restaurant there that is opened by a Malaysian but I doubt any people outside Korea would know about it, which is why I don't really recommend people to follow itinerary from Malaysian travel blogs since they are not living here and wouldn't know the place well anyway.. |

For Malaysians, it wouldn't be very good. But for me, I just use it as something to bring foreigner friends to eat. "You wanna try Chinese Malaysian food"? Though there's no more Malay Malaysian restaurant here anymore because of the Felda scandal. |

My romanization is horrible because I never bothered to learn it. This post has been edited by koonghx: Jul 13 2016, 07:16 PM |

My romanization is horrible because I never bothered to learn it. yugane and andong jjimdak is franchise restaurant and is no doubts people will recommend it. if i'm not mistaken, they have branches out of korea. btw, i like jjimdak but is from andong or from other restaurant. it's way delicious than the andong jjimdak restaurant. this andong jjimdak price is quite expensive |

What do you guys think about this if i were to travel with my mom. Is this sufficient?
Kul > Busan ( 1 night) > Jeju (3 nights) > Seoul ( 7 nights). And do you guys recommend to drive in Jeju and Seoul? |
