Any sifu knows how to calculate the cost of taking Airport train+MRT to say Myeongdon area ? Will the train ride in underground thru out the whole journey ?

Yeah me too undecided..and yes the luggages are the main concern.. I dun think much diff bcos that airport train to Gimpo also not cheap but they suppose to operate to Seoul by year end..now already year end wor
Problem wth bus, they stopped probably at Myeondong but you will having problem on the exact location. Thereafter probably need to take taxi to the hotel which probabloy just 400m away & they probably did the same thing as what KL taxi did..round & round b4 stopping at the hotel or telling you can't find the hotel QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Nov 9 2010, 04:40 PM) Thank you Stimix.

Added on November 9, 2010, 4:56 pmYeah me thinking of same arrangement. but the big luggage.. If I can find any rate at 2.80 now in KL...no need to change to US$ liao...bcos the market rate now ~ 2.75.

QUOTE(hwazai @ Nov 9 2010, 03:24 PM) Well, many ppl keep pm me about the korea trip. so i would like to share my piece of experience in korea in order to help you guys Thx for the info The AA plane landed at korea at about 915pm (korea time), after the custom checking is about 10pm. So it is enough time for you to take the limousine bus to your destination. The operating hour for the limo bus as below link: http://traffic.visitkorea.or.kr/Lang/en/Bu...ection=1&SIdx=3 My total expenses is RM2000 (exclude flight and hotel) for 2 person. Quite save right? My trip is only at seoul, no skiing. almost the expenses spent on souvenier, ginseng and beauty product. I didnt take the bus during the trip at korea (except limo to and from airport), instead i took the subway to my destination because the subway fare is very cheap (1000 won per trip) and almost every places can be visited by subway. The places i went to: 1) Namsan park 2) namsangol hanok vilage 3) namdaemun (if you want to buy ginseng must come here) 4) lotte world 5) dongdaemun 6) cheonggyecheon stream 7) gyeongbokgung 8) Myeungdung (beauty product area) 9) insadong (souvenier area) 10) N tower |
