oops perhaps you didn't know.. Korean don't practice sharing food. they will dislike just like when you are in HK. they will think that you wasted their space but didn't order.. so you will notice that Koreans ordered according to number of pax. they will left over the food if can't finish..  doh.gif  unless you know to speak in Korean language explaining that you guys are small eater and you can't finish up so big portion

I experienced the same as well. Went to Gwangjang Market's mandu stall to order a bowl of mandu for 4 (as we had already eaten a lot at other stalls there). The lady at the stall contemplated whether to attend to our order but we tried to explain that we were full and just wanted to try the mandu there. She eventually agreed and we later on ordered another bowl out of courtesy.

Need some sharing from those who went to Jeju from Busan.

What is the common price to pay for return air ticket?

I checked cheapest in Sept 2015 is around 100k KRW. Is there regular promo from these airlines?

Took Air Busan to Jeju Island from Busan last October. Cost RM250 for return flight (returned to Seoul from Jeju Island). Do check 3-6 months in advance.

Just back from Korea with rashes all over me. The weather is too dry that even my moisturizer can't help much.

Went in autumn last year and had to visit a dermatologist when I got back because I developed eczema through the cold there. Scary what the cold can do to your skin.

Yes, Gimhae Int'l Airport has 2 terminals - domestic and international. They are situated opposite one another.

As for accommodation in Seoul, it really depends on your purpose there. Night life, sight seeing, shopping?

Quick googling on "Busan" reveals that it's only served by Gimhae Int'l Airport. So that took care of one of your questions. The other question regarding weather can be answered by googling "Seoul" as well. According to Wikipedia, it might range from 2-18 centigrade with average of 5-13 centigrade. Again, it's from Wikipedia, so make sure to check the weather forecasts as your days closing in. laugh.gif

As for the place to stay in Seoul, it depends on what you want to do or where you want to go in Seoul. hmm.gif
