ah my 2nd favourite place in the world (after my hometown).
about 6 years ago (when i had yet to go to the land of the morning calm), i told myself i won't bother to go. it was the time when winter sonata was really hot. after go there and got to know a few friends, i was hooked. i've been there several times since and am going there again next week  it helps if u know ppl there. it's always a free and easy holiday there... basically to experience life there and see things as locals see. of course having locals friends and a gf there helps too!  |

QUOTE(trixierain @ Oct 5 2009, 12:33 PM) Hi, I'm new here and would like to ask for help. My sister and I will be visiting S. Korea before the month ends for 6 days. Based on the research we've done, we're interested in visiting the following places: Korean Folk Village, Namsan Tower, Busan, Soraksan National Park, Dongdaenum, Namdaenum, Insadong, Kyongbok Palace, National Folklore Museum, Presidential Blue House, Gyongju City, Nami Island, Jeju Island (btw, what makes Jeju special?), Mt. Sorak, War Memorial, Itaewon, Fountain of Banpo Bridge, Changdeokgung Palace (is this the primary location of Jewel in the Palace? how does it differ from the one in MBC Cultural Valley?). I know it's too ambitious to get to visit all these in 6 days but we're just wishing we could maximize our stay to that level. yes that's quite a lot to do in 6 days. Oh yes, we'll have to skip some. Help please? Can any one help us group the mentioned tourist spots according to proximity so that we can make our sched for each day please? Which ones may be missed among the ones mentioned? We'll be very grateful for any information. Thanks in advance!   for locations in Seoul, suggest u only do 2-3 locations per day (especially since some locations are only open or better to visit during the day. fyi, soraksan national park already covers sorak mountain. take note that this needs a 6 hour drive close to the eastcoast town of seokcho if u really want to do this (and best for sunrise/sunset views). flying to and fro from jeju will already take up 1-2 days at the very least. in seoul itself, u will walk like there's no tomorrow if u take the subway. good luck. |
