Does Kara Hotel (as mention by nejin) is same with Kaya hotel?. I'm saving Kaya Hotel as one of my option during my visit to Seoul.

Also, traditional room ondol type compare with regular bed, which one is more comfortable? Comfortable to sleep, back ache ? I've read that ondol type room has a heated mat, but not sure what kind of heater when we use regular bed room. I think heated room is important since I'll visit Seoul during winter.

Hi guys

What shld I bring for clothing for early April?

My guess its a begin of Spring, so a little jacket should be enough.

On another note, South Korea will hosting F1 racing today for the first time at Yeongam state.
As far as I know its quite far from Seoul. Hope to get a good racing action today.
Will watch it on TV. Hopefully, will watch it live there. Wonder what else is Yeongam attraction

For weather chart pls refer to pg 1

Anyone stay at Ibis Myeongdong or Pullman ? Any comments on that hotel?
Or can anyone suggest me a hotel around Myeongdong budget around 300-400 .

As i see from agoda or any hotel booking site, there is some cheap hotel. But not sure which is more reliable as in , clean and good service and very near walking distance to any train station.

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

I have never been to Korea but I have heard a lot about the conflict between North Korea and South Korea and even I am not sure what is the basic reason behind the conflict.

What else/ Countries divided after the World War 2 when Japan left the countries and temporary ruled by UN super powers at that point of time i.e Northern side By USSR allies. & the South by US allies.

Thereafter the North side started to attack the Southern US allies during late 40's to early 50's. till both side done seems to be the winner & they decided to cease fire since 1950 & created the "No man land" dividing North & South. Well the cease fire still enforced till today & basically both countries are still at WAR!

there're a lot of packaged offered especially for the flight passenger depend on their free time, ranging from 1 hour to a couple of days,
