Do you think I should buy one Seoul City Tour Bus for 1day usage at 15000won. http://www.seoulcitypass.com/jsp/citypass/citypass_eng.jsp
I will start from Myeondong Station and stop at the following station only - Hanpjeong  Hongik University  Ewha Women University  Then back to Myeondong check out and leaving to airport. Where to purchase this seoul city tour bus 1day pass?

How do you communicate with the bus driver to ensure he remind us where to stop at? They can speak lil English?? Eg.. “ Chungmuro Station, Pls call me” & Must sit close to the driver.
They will understand??

For Innisfree skincare – The best seller is Jeju Mask?

Tentatively my itinerary on 09th Jan start from Namsan Guest House at 5pm.
1) Namsan Seoul Tower – By Cable car or Walk to Chungmuro Station, Take Bus No.2.
2) Cheongyecheon Stream & Gwanghwamun Square - (Walking distance 20min from CS to Myeongdong or shall I take subway?
3) Myeongdong – Dinner @ Kyoja Restaurant ( Myeongdong to Namdaemun is 10min walking distance)
4) Namdaemun

Plan to take cab from Namsan Seoul Tower to Cheongyecheon Stream & Gwanghwamun Square. Any comment?

But I’m afraid the weather allow us go evening time, it’s freezing cool!!!!

Tried to print out discount voucher from Korea Tourism Webpage. But failure to register as member. Anyone having this problem?

No U should buy just Seoul City Tour Bus (SCTB) for 9000w only if you print the discount voucher from KTO. It stop at 20+ hot spots every 30min punctually. Why pay extra 6,000w for the extra city pass ?  To purchase SCTB ticket, just hop into the bus.

How do you communicate with the bus driver  to ensure he remind us where to stop at? They can speak lil English?? Eg.. “ Chungmuro Station, Pls call me” & Must sit close to the driver.

There is a head phone and LCD panel in front of every seat to explain every stop in language you selected.

The SCTB brings you to the door step of all 4 places mentioned above. Save the cable car and cab money for diner, the tour bus drives you up the Nansam hill and drop u at Gwanghwamun for Cheonggyecheon Stream. You can also walk from Cheongyecheon stream second bridge (turn right at Gwanggyo bridge) to Myeongdong and Namdaemun.

I think Ah Boon And Ah mix should have it but it may not worth the COD trip for both seller and buyer because the cost of one T-money blank card is only RM7.20 in Korea unless delivered by cheapest 60sen snail mail.
______________________________________________________________

I'm fine with any post method.. Anyone wanna sell the Tmoney blank card..PM me,pls...
I need 2 cards and reach me before 05th Jan 2011.. Thanks..

Im going coming this Wednesday... Sigh.....!!! Why all bad news turn up suddenly..
One question : How to go Cheongyecheong Square from Namsan Seoul Tower.
My friend advised me take bus number402 from namsan llibrary bus station and pass the five station to go to ganghwamoon and take off at ganghwamoon square. smile.gif it will take about 30min.

If took about 30min -- Then go by TAXI should be expensive right.

Any other transport advise pls???

I managed to changed Korean Won at 2.82 yesterday at WAWASAN Mid Valley . rclxm9.gif
