QUOTE(yvonnesoo @ Apr 15 2016, 03:34 PM)  do you know that the gam wine tunnel is located at Cheongdo? it's not located at Busan. suddenly go to Seomyeon and go to the wine tunnel?  it will take you at least more than half day to and fro. if you don't know korean language, it's kind of hard for you to take public transport unless you take taxi once you reach the station. you will have trouble to back to the station unless you hire the taxi driver to wait for you. because that area is very secluded and seldom have taxi go in. bus also very little and got timing  . if you drive yourself of cause won't have any issue of cause you need to arrange it la.. unless you plan to waste your time travel from here and there. better save your time on attractions and others Actually I forgot that I have the direction to go the wine tunnel...or better take tour? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Maybe day 7 I only go wine tunnel lo...plan is flexi 1. How about other days, ok or not? Do advice which day like impossible to go. This post has been edited by luvjim: Apr 15 2016, 04:22 PM |

QUOTE(yvonnesoo @ Apr 17 2016, 08:47 AM) i'm not sure whether got any tour to there or not as mostly Koreans go by themselves. less tourist there. at least you are in Cheongdo to see the bullfighting as well, else i don't think it's that worth to travel that far to visit the wine tunnel. at there only taste the wine, finger foods, some activities depends on which month you go. that is. so my suggestion it's better you take the time to focus on Busan as Busan itself has plenty of attractions too. Icic, got it. Maybe I will reconsider whether go or not.when is your travel date? need to know before i can advise further My travel date is 9th till 18th of September. Seoul itinerary, ok? Please do advice if the sequence of the places is not so right. |

QUOTE(yvonnesoo @ Apr 19 2016, 12:24 PM) as i mentioned earlier, your itinerary not really ok for both Seoul & Busan Can you advice how should be the arrangement? Specificcally? your travel date is quite warm end of Oct is getting colder. it will be cold if the wind blow or rain. also it tends to be quite dry. if you are not use to cold weather better prepare thicker jacket or wind breaker. For Seoul, more or less I follow this guy.  https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=79447573 This post has been edited by luvjim: Apr 19 2016, 03:22 PM |

QUOTE(yvonnesoo @ Apr 19 2016, 04:59 PM) focus or go nearby attractions in one day. so that you won't waste your time going back the same places for few days. unless you plan to revisit or can't finish on your 1st visit. That's the itinerary after done research from google maps..google...visitkorea page...the itinerary you provided, do you really prefer to go those places? don't just follow people itinerary but don't know actually what it's about. you may go to survey or read the visit korea website for further details than you will roughly know. by then you can come out roughly an itinerary Since you familiar with korea, which 1 is a bad planning...actually is going back to the same place? Do you mean day 4 and day 5? day 4 Myeongdong Nanta show Hongdae Ehwa Women University Coex Underground Mall, Gangnam day 5 Lotte world Lotte mart Elandcruise |

QUOTE(yvonnesoo @ Apr 19 2016, 06:54 PM) [/spoiler] Finally, thanks thanks for the advice. That's what I need. see my comments in red.  you really need to revise your plan if you don't wanna spend your time traveling here and there or end up have to cut off some attractions Nanta show not yet book, still early? I'm going to Gyeongbokgung on Sunday. Is it ok? I already check the closing day for place I plan to go. Which lotte mart is the famous 1? The one I plan to go is nearby Lotte world. Still not sure going for cruise on Elandcruise. Just slot it in first. QUOTE(inachi @ Apr 19 2016, 11:56 PM) For me from Myeong dong travel to Hongdae, explore and shop around Hongdae, it's going to take more than half a day already. coz tbh, hongdae is actually quite big. Icic. Actually since I going to Ehwa Women University, so I just slot Hongdae(since is just nearby?).Unless its just a fast pace exploration. lol If got time can have a walk and explore a bit at Hongdae. Any specific place in Hongdae I should and must visit? |

QUOTE(inachi @ Apr 20 2016, 11:04 AM) first all is shopping, not those shopping mall type. (which might take u long time Ic. Got it. )then of coz with some nice cafe, & hongik university. if u are a kopo fan, u might wanna take a visit to YG ent building. But again, all this depends on individual. if u not interested in all this, u can easily finish it within half a day. But if got interesting stuff or cafe then maybe will spend some time on it. Not really a kpop fans. QUOTE(yvonnesoo @ Apr 20 2016, 11:26 AM) Nanta show plan either in the morning or night session so that you can explore other places. if not you have to rush to the show especially you are not at the same location. Icic. Ya lo. Unless you tell me which day itinerary is best go on Sunday, then I switch it. Gyeongbokgung on Sun no issue. just more crowded whichever lotte mart the same for me. it depends which branches is convenient to you as you need to carry it all the way back to your hotel / guesthouse. if bought alot of stuffs, usually people will pack it into boxes provided free after payment. else you can courier back to Msia using international shipping. Hongdae is a place for youngsters hence lotsa food places and lively night life. it's very crowded during weekend night. there is also free market, mural street, trickeye museum,etc if you like to visit.. got nanta theater here as well. *Maybe switch to day 4 which is Monday* Where's the nearest lotte mart at Myeong-dong? Now I don't know whether need to split this to 2 days trip. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by luvjim: Apr 20 2016, 11:44 AM |

QUOTE(yvonnesoo @ Apr 20 2016, 01:40 PM) too many nice cafe in Korea.. definitely not enough time haha.. having cafe in Korea is not cheap. price can be like a decent meal already Which nice cafe that I can cover together in the itinerary there?  it depends on whether how long you will be in one place I haven't purposely go search a must visit cafe in Korea to put in the itinerary. QUOTE(sai86 @ Apr 21 2016, 05:58 PM) RM1,840.90 (Include RM40 for seat selection). That price is for 1 or 2 person? i found Korean Air at RM1,870.90 no choice but to take MAS because my GF and her sis flew from SG-ICN which transit at KL to same MAS flight. SG get MAS = $550 / Korean Air $850 - SGD while my different is RM30, her different is $300......giler... |

Anyone has the list of phone number for attraction in Jeju? Better if you experienced and verified the phone number that you really went.
Want to compare what I found from google. Mt Sanbangsan & Yongmeori Coast Phone number : 7942940 Daepo Jusangjeolli Cliff (Jungmun lava columns) Phone number : 7381521 Jeongbang waterfalls. Phone number : 7331530 Seongsan Ilchungbong (Sunrise Peak) GPS coordinates: 7830959 or 7107923 Seopjikoji Korean GPS coordinates (by phone number): 7604251 (This number will NOT bring you to Seopjikoji and will bring you to the middle of nowhere so just drive in this direction and then follow the roadsigns pointing towards Seopjikoji; this number 7820080 might get you there – unverified) Udo Island Korean GPS coordinates (by phone number): 7825671 (This number is NOT accurate – instead, use this number 7843136 which leads to a local produce shop just beside the ferry ticket office) 15 minutes ferry rides. Manjanggul Lava Cave Phone number : 7834818 *I don't arrange to go all this place in a day ya. |
