QUOTE(myw66 @ Mar 3 2016, 11:56 AM) MAS is having promo now, RM1200 return ticket to Seoul. Worth it or not? Not bad. Can consider. Alternatively you could pay extra for Air Asia to get premium flatbed and in-flight entertainment. ___________ Is Ilsan city a tourist spot? Anything nearby there?  All i found was the lake and some broadcasting company |

QUOTE(yvonnesoo @ Mar 4 2016, 11:26 AM) people usually go there to relax and unwind from the bustling city oh thank goodness you've heard of it. my conference is actually based there so i am trying to explore the nearby areas instead of commuting back to Seoul city centre during my limited free time.  |

QUOTE(yvonnesoo @ May 12 2016, 12:28 AM) to be frank the walking distance to hongdae is quite far (at least for me) hahahaha. maybe for u as a guy is ok with the walking Well anything 10-15 minute 's walking is acceptable to be Hahaha. Hopefully the picture's not deceiving lor. however from the pictures the guesthouse environment look not that bad. so i guess should be ok  |

QUOTE(yvonnesoo @ Jun 20 2016, 10:13 AM) yes. if you don't want to take ITX to Yongsan Station or Cheongnyangni Station, you can opt to take the shuttle bus from downtown. refer to this link https://namisum.com/en/location/ i did saw that.. but seems like there is only one time slot available? and need to reserve early.. my timing very hard to meet those times.. some AAX hot seat extra legroom not that much also. those with extra legroom usually non-reclinable . what i can think of is the advantage of hot seat is can express boarding  train is the safest bet i guess... |

QUOTE(yvonnesoo @ Jun 27 2016, 11:25 AM) for me insadong too touristy but you can find lot of souvenirs there and also less hassle to crack your head thinking what to buy for souvenirs if you wanna find common souvenirs price wise.. depends on people la.. else those markets did sell souvenirs too.. not as many choices QUOTE(koonghx @ Jun 27 2016, 05:00 PM) Try buy online? XD ooo thanks! just random cheap souvenirs hahaha. http://item2.gmarket.co.kr/item/detailview...%b9%b0%fc%b1%a4 What type of souvenirs are you looking for? ____ anyway need some spoonfeeding. really don't have time to plan a proper itinerary. So here's a rough one. Will just follow the flow: Day 1: arrive at incheon about 8.30am. then check in at sinchon hostel. will vist ewha uni in the morning. afternoon bukchon hanok village. can spend whole afternoon here? or can squeeze in one more place? at night will be at hongdae area. day 2: morning at noryangjin fish market. suggestions for one more place to visit in the morning? will probably head to ilsan city after lunch for my conference. day 3: full day at nami island. at night.. myeongdong or gangnam? |

QUOTE(koonghx @ Jul 1 2016, 11:33 PM) Why ewha? I lived here for 5 years only went to the shops there only once. Why is it on the recommended places to go? it's the university itself not the shops. well the overall architecture looks pretty. nice for photo taking i guess Hongdae I suggest if possible, adjust it so that it's on weekends. Weekends will have more people and the nightclubs will be more active. Oh.. you're coming for work? Third day at night, around what time? Myeongdong shopping a bit at 7 and dinner time, after that go to Gangnam nightclubs also okay if it falls on a weekend. Gangnam nightclubs for working people around 25-30+ yeah my 1st day is on a friday. got a korean friend to bring me around should be fine i guess.nope. attending a conference. ahh. don't plan to go nightclubs hahaha. |

QUOTE(koonghx @ Jul 2 2016, 02:04 AM) Okay.. Can visit yonsei as well I guess. Just next to ewha. Though I feel that the recently renovated Yonsei is better than Ewha xD If you're young enough for nightclubs, must try once Korean nightclubs though Lol. Clubbing not my thing |
