MY as in Malaysia?

Just found out air asia launched a new destination flight to seoul and also japan. Nice hope its really cheap for us backpackers

yaaay~~ joined their mailing list d~

AA already advertise about Korea in their website.so excited now. hopefully it is a good bargain

still cant book yet, i guess still in the progress, but izzit quite difficult coz as i noe the ppl over there don noe english, so is juz like chicken talk to duck,, a bit difficult if backpack.

It is true that difficult to backpack to Korea. Totally cant read and dont even know how to recognize their character. I can backpack to Japan as i can recognize the chinese character.
But only backpack will have the real fun. Anyone backpack to Korea before?

@xclent182> yeay...great! finally she agreed. January is winter already. Have to bring thick jacket. How i wish i cud experience winter.
of course i will share my itineraries later. Still in planning.

@fazad> yeap, student malaysia...this is wat they reply me..
"Terima kasih kerana berminat dengan pakej yang kami lawati. Pakej kami ini termasuk kos pengangkutan disini, tempat tinggal dan juga makanan disini. Dalam kata mudah, harga semua merupakan pakej lengkap sepanjang anda berada disini. Juga harga termasuk kos untuk tour guide. Segala2 nya lengkap dan kami bakal memberikan satu percutian yang meyakinkan dan juga menyeronokkan sepanjang anda berada di bumi Sonata ini.

the package cost me a lot more than i expected since it is for 5d4n only, and i have to pay more later, stay at another place since i travel for 8 days. They just give the general info so i decide not to take it.

and guys, u can try this. a few web where u can get a penpal or volunteer guide. couchsurfing.com and Hi!everywhere and its work. Couchsurfing people can provide u a place to sleep oso...Hi!everywhere is for volunteer tourguide.

yeay...can go again if I have more money...


I dun think so it's really hard to backpack overthere (even i'm still not experience it myself). It is true that there is a language barrier, but it's not logic la if they promote for tourist to come and they not even provide legend in english rite? U can always get a map, subway map in english. Go to KTO (at Menara Hap seng)...they will give u a broucher etc. My cousin backpacked and stayed overthere almost a year and it just fine.

u guys also can follow her, www.budgettravel2korea.blogspot.com. she put some information which is very useful for backpackers.

sfwong:when will you be backpacking to Korea?
shauyan:agreed.only backpacking will have the real fun
nejin:the link you gave is really helpful.I admire you cousin for doing that. Will you go to Jeju island.

FYI,we changed our plan from January to late March,my friend wants to exprience spring.i don't mine as long as we can travel there within the first quarter of next year.

I plan to go to Korea too...but in doubt on wanna choose to follow tour or go free and easy...any good place to recommend to me?TQ

I've gotten around Seoul (can't speak about other cities) perfectly well with just English. While the general populace may not speak English well, all the tourist spots/hotels have someone that speaks English. All subway signs/maps are in English as well. The bus network (most prevalent way to get around Greater Seoul) has English. What more can you ask for?

now day how much the price for flight ticket. average?

Depending on airlines... Maybe 1500rm and up?
Btw did anyone watch Nanta at KLCC the last two days? It was my second time watching it in a year but itS still good! For every tourist that goes to Seoul its a must watch!

woot! lovin airasia!!

I got my air asia return tix to seoul at only RM255..

Which date?

wah u going to korea?
