i wish to watch either Nanta or Jump when i visit seoul on 14 feb 2011.
does anyone experience the show? does is always full house and need for booking?

i watched nanta.. its better to book nanta especially if its peak period.. you can book online or call via phone to book your tickets and seats i heard jump is good too!

i went to gyeongju last winter.. the weather in gyeongju was relatively mild. abit colder than busan but definitely not as cold as seoul. gyeongju is a nice place to see historical sites... and the motels there are available between 35000won and above.

per night in busan again you can get motels depending on location. the cheapest i've been is 30,000 per night which is about rm 90. (Sasang-gu) . On low peak days of course.

for me i prefer busan than seoul la.. but yet again im just being biased coz ... i lived in busan for a year busan does have alot of special attractions la.. but yet people prefer to go to seoul probably because its bigger..

during spring there are alot of good places at busan and around busan (jinhae) to view cherry blossoms...

also busan has the Haeundae & gwangalli beach, pretty famous throughout korea... very popular place to visit during the summer..

Added on October 20, 2010, 12:16 amin seoul you can try this place called jogno3ga. . but there are motels and yeogwons all around so you can just walk in and ask the price

Added on October 20, 2010, 12:18 ambtw the language to ask for how much is a price for one night is

한밤 숙박에 얼마에요?
han bam suk bak eh ol ma eh yo?
how much does one night cost

not perfect korean (i forgot my grammar and structure sentence) but it'll help
some places they will have the price already written there..

hope this helps lol!

i stayed in innostel before.. one night at jongno3ga costed me i think 50,000won... its nice and clean there are also alot of innostels around korea ..just that they can be abit pricey

hot pack dolls...like those dog shape wan ar? i saw in E-mart before..alot of places sell them anyway

theres a pretty good hotel in the middle of myeongdong for around 300-400 but i don't remember the name.. it looks pretty good.. just @ central myeongdong :S

backpack is the way to go! lol.

for new people who come by the thread, please read the front page first(or 10-15pages back) as to avoid asking the same questions again and again.

don't know much about these hotels but .. i really think itaewon is a waste of time ._.
like what my friend said, its a place where foreigners cheat other foreigners..

Added on November 2, 2010, 11:20 pmbtw, i really recommend innostels .. and they did have a problem with people below the age of 21.. i don't know why, coz the first time i tried back last christmas they wouldn't allow me to stay and the 2nd time i went, last march i think, they were more lenient :s i don't remember which one i stayed but i was in Jongno-3ga.. plus, some of them can converse in english/korean/jap/chinese.. so ok lah

saaadly no im not in korea anymore if i was i would be in busan. sigh!

yeah im back in malaysia >__<
changing rm1000? for how many days? need to include accomodation + food wan wor ... .

@zstan : yea i was studying there from last yr sept, just came home this june/july. tak ingat LOL.

i guess 800 should be enough lah providing you dont need to pay for food etc how many days are u going again? coz when i was there i was only given rm700 per month... lol. and im a girl which means i go shopping for clothes quite alot .. hehehe

if you are some hardcore korean band/group fan then there are TONS of souviners / merchandise for you to blow your money on, like what one of our other forummer said. oh watch out for those CD's /DVDs.... alot of them are the korean version which u can only get from korea.. last time my friend told me to buy some super junior CD..

regarding the plug point... its different from our two pin i think . but you can just bring the universal adapter..

lol btw if you guys want more coupons/vouchers, you can go to that korean center to get it.. neh the one in downtown KL wan ..

the last time i was in busan , i used to go to Shinhan Bank's global ATM to use my Maybank ATM card to withdraw money. i dont think they charge RM8.. u can just withdraw how much you want then the charges is just counted by the exchange rate.... but you HAVE TO MAKE SURE that you go to maybank and change your ATM card to international.. if not maybank will block your card then you'll have to get a new one (based on experience seriously)

1 Night at Jeju Island i think wont be enough leh.. coz you need to take the plane there and the plane back... usually people spend at least 2 nights in Jeju.. ( ihavent been to jeju either) how many days will you be in SKorea? By AA?

1 night in seoul also i dont think enough >_< because there are TONS of things to see in Seoul...

i havent been to mount sorak so i dunno..

You will also have to pick between Lotte World / Everland. You can't possibly go to both because Everland is an hour bus ride away from Seoul.. so to and fro two hours gone already, as i have recommended the other forummers, lotte world is a better choice to visit in Winter because Everland is a HUUUGE outdoor theme park.. and when its like 5degrees and below in Seoul, you won't wanna be out there, trust me. but everland do have heaters and stuff lah so i guess should be okay..

Added on November 18, 2010, 4:06 pmalso depends on what you want to see lah in south korea..

if you are interested in shopping or culture then your itinerary will be different..

do your homework ,read the previous pages or do research on the internet.. dont come into the forum asking people to plan your itinerary for you.

plenty of things for you to read on the first page. gather more info and come back
dont mean to sound harsh but everyone here has done intensive research and you should do yours too.

when i was in seoul i bought this pass called the SEOUL CITY PASS+
and its cheaper than the tmoney, if im not mistaken tmoney is like some kinda small keychain which you can hang on your phone rite? i think tmoney cost 7000won? dont remember.. but definitely the city pass was cheaper..works the same too ^^

usually in big cities english. some food places have pictures :/ but there was once i went in the whole shop were like those olden boards with food names in korean.. but then i knew the language.. if dunno then susah leh X( but usually big cities they will have nice menus wan

N tower walking distance say 10-15 minutes away from myeongdong. uphill walk though lol.

seoul > everland

Express Bus:
From Seoul Nambu Terminal or Dong Seoul Bus Terminal, take an express bus bound for Everland (1 hour ride).

Other buses:
At Exit 6 of Gangnam Subway Station (Seoul Subway Line 2), get City Express Bus (jwaseok bus) N. 5002 (50 min ride).

At Exit 13 of Gyodae Subway Station (Seoul Subway Line 2), catch City Express Bus N. 1500 or 1500-1 (80 min ride).
- At Exit 2 (Seoul Subway Line 2) or Exit 3 (Seoul Subway Line 4) of Sadang Station, take City Express Bus N. 1500-2 (80 min ride).

i googled up this information. the last time i was there i dont remember what bus i took. if im not mistaken i took it from the main bus terminal. where the seoul KTX is located.

but please when you find out which bus heads to everland, please WRITE DOWN THE BUS NUMBER. unless you can read hangul because the bus's destinations are written in korean on the bus. + you have to read fast coz the bus isn't going to wait for you.

the destinations will NOT be written in english. so make sure you know the hangul of the place you are going, in this case Everland - 에버랜드

if im not mistaken yes you can get there from suwon because when i was in everland, i accidentally took the bus to suwon lol! and ended up in suwon station. so i THINK you can get to everland from there coz the bus routes are in circles. erm i think some of it is in english but im not sure and i didn't really notice coz i usually read the korean ones.... :/ but just write down the hangul letters somewhere just in case there isn't!

caribbean bay is closed meh? the last time i went it was open ar~
