Just for sharing...if you want book ktx from seoul to busan, book 1 month ahead and look for train 353 @ 10:20, price is krw43k+. I not sure which other timings have the same price but I chk on most of the other timing, price is krw50k+.

Same goes to nanta show, book ahead and you get 40% discount if the timetable suits you. I book mine on a saturday morning show at krw24k. 2nd floor seat but I read reviews the theather is not very big and any seating doesn't matter. Anyway, just want check it out for first time with that great discounts

Both also allow cancellation few days before actual date

told you it's not enough if u only go for 8 days for so many places.. but at least u got cover some main attractions.. btw, you got a reason to go for another trip. 

I am in dilemma whether to go Nagoya or Busan. I know in Nagoya there is a place (korankei) that is very beautiful with all the autumn leaf and I guess that alone is worth the trip.While Busan has all the many beautiful beaches and sea which i like, but I want to see autumn leaf as I never see it before.

Is there any place to see autumn leaf in Busan area in late November this year?
And is late November a good time to go to beach?

Yesss would definitely be back to spend one whole week in Seoul next trip!    How's your trip going on? The weather in Seoul's pretty chilly isn't it? It went to as low as 1 degree Celsius while I was there.

go for both la.. after go Nagoya than to Busan or vice versa    late november go to beach you can't do much also and is very windy

i already back to Msia on 29 Oct. by that time weather already started to get colder. it went as low as 1-3 degree also. my Busan trip kinda disappointed as first 3 days raining non stop    can't manage to visit some attractions. i will be back for next round plus to Gyeongju and surrounding city 

weather is better in Seoul but is cold especially the wind blow. in Seoul, i just chill arould and find friends to eat and shop haha..

so for me is pretty much have plenty of times.. just that time is not enough for shop, cafe hopping and foodie!! 

tight budget. so can choose 1 only. japan got more maple leaf. busan got nice sea and beach but windy is not a problem cuz i am not naked anyway haha

wut. for real? i'll be flying next Sat. night.
if so, i think i gotta bring 1 more long pants

she told me her lips and skin crack. i have told her earlier to do preparation but she ignore me saying that Busan is further down so won't be that cold .

Our skin are used to humid conditions.
So when visiting cold countries like Japan & Korea, must apply moisturiser to the face everyday. Lip gloss too.

Feel free to PM if you need any details on my itinerary. As I tried to cover as much as possible in one trip (Busan, Jeju Island and Seoul), I feel that there are still so many places that I have yet to cover so the next time I go I'll make it a point to allocate one whole week for Seoul!
The leaves have turned yellow and red at this point. Beautiful colours spotted in Nami Island.
Yup, loved it very much! 

Hi, I also will be staying at Minjoonggak Guesthouse. Is there any parking space at the guesthouse?

Good choice!   I don't remember seeing any parking spaces right outside of the guesthouse though. Perhaps you'd have to park further and walk.

Just came back from Korea last night, the weather there was good. Slightly windy and very cold during night. Celsius around 6-18.

Some places around Seoul the leaves still yellow colored but you can see red one in Nami Island. If you are are going to Nami Island by subway, once you arrive Gapyeong Stn. I prefer you take taxi than bus because taxi rate start from 3,000won. 
I think I took the wrong bus which cost me 5,000won per person and only 5mins from Stn to the Whaft. Grrr. Mental breakdown. Or you can even walk.

If you guys are going Seoul, it's alright not to know or know lil Korea language because now they speak lil English and mandarin. I spoke in korean but then they straight away reply in Mandarin == and there's a lot of China people. If you don't want them to think u are China ppl just buy a Msia flag badge and pin on ur clothes or bag.haha.

For people who want to rent pocket wifi, I recommend you Wifi-Korea http://www.wifi-korea.com. 
They have 2 type of pocket wifi. I rented the cheaper one which is  UDP. The coverage is so so. It better to rent ESP. Their office just right in front Insadong Main Street. For more info do visit their website.

Hmmm. One more thing. I stayed at 24!guesthouse Cheongyestream branch. The location is good. 5mins walk from Stn to guesthouse and there's 2 line which is line 2&3. From guesthouse can walk to myeondong,Cheongyestream,city hall,gwangwamun plaza and dongdaemun. The Stn,exit 1, theres a restaurant it 국수하고 만두가 맛있어요! Cheap and delicious. 

Alright that's all. Almost wrote an essay. ㅋㅋ

The bus one is a daily pass. You can it unlimited for the today. It is also benefitial if you also go to Petite France and Garden of Morning Calm.
