gona travel by next saturday midnight, I already change my WON in Mid valley 3.150 haha.  I am gona be in Seoul for 5 days 4 nights only

By the way should I buy their sim card data or rent their Pocket Wifi in Seoul? which one cheaper for that 5 days?
*
ahhh.. icic.. how many person traveling? if you ask me, i will prefer pocket wifi cause i will use more data compare to calls or sms tongue.gif plus i don't like changing my sim card in case there is emergency, people can't get to contact me.

pocket wifi can have simultaneous devices and it's cheaper with unlimited data, while sim card only for 1 device and for voice n sms only. if you need data, you need to top up data. unless you opt for data prepaid. but sim card data not cheap..

in the end also is up to personal preferences smile.gif

day 3 after Gyeongbokgung maybe you can slot in to visit Buckhon Hanok village or Samcheongdong or Insadong. i assume you like to see historical places as many places you go is more towards historical tongue.gif than maybe you can visit Cheongwadae or Gwanghwamun or Cheongye stream hehehe

Dear all travellers,

Anyone travel to Korea for a winter skiing trip? I'll be there on early december for a 9 days trip covering Jeju 3D & Seoul 6D. Do u think it's ok for me to cut my seoul trip to 3days then spend another 3 days in Jisan for a skiing trip? Will it be very rush?

Regards
*
no rush but it depends on whether do you feel 3 days is enough for you to spend in Seoul or not hehe..

I am leaning towards standard class as I afraid I may get a single seat, which means I may not be able to sit beside people and talk  hmm.gif

I guess I will book standard class...

True also, just that standard class probability is higher to have someone sitting beside me  laugh.gif

It is a regular occasion for me to meet new people on plane or train haha...

But then in the case of Japan, it was a bit harder as they don't really speak English.
*
then you should opt for at least 1 or 2 stops ktx. cause possibility of different person sitting beside you haha..
if uncle or auntie abit hard.. younger generations 50/50 percent tongue.gif

I use S4 phone and buy the EG micro sim from 7-11 for 30k won 1gb with 10k won calls. You need to register with EG following the instruction given on the pack plus attaching your passport. In minutes they will able to activate for you. If you really keen to get the sim card, better get online (think is 25.5k won) & collect from k books shop when you arrive incheon. At least u can get help from them or they register for you straight away.

i guess you comment on wrong person as the one asking the question is not me sweat.gif btw, i dislike to use sim card.. i prefer to use wifi egg.. cost around 3k-8k won per day with unlimited data simultaneously up to 5 devices whistling.gif

You can go by limousine bus, which costs around 15.000 won and around 5 hours.
another option is using high speed train, around 30.000 won and 3-4 hours.
