We been discussing it since few days ago both in Korea & also AA threads.

Just read earlier postings in bothe threads.. Number of RM74 =25 airport tax promo tickets getting lesser & lesser ..If you haven't get it...sorry liao..

I'm also looking but for sure I will look for those cheap & near transport hub. Hostel wth private ensuite will be my current choice liao. & hope to get <RM100/nite. Well the cheapest hotel ~ US$38...

Hmnn sure-kah, out of the 5 pages Seoul hotels, I found the cheapest also ~ US$38. Which hotel offering RM60/nite..I grab now

Mid -Dec 6D6N bcos the last nite the plane take off at 11+pm & arroving on the 7th day haha start of the winter & also snowing mth liao

Added on August 5, 2010, 11:10 pmWah lagi less days Anyway, should be 5D5N kua...bcos 1st day you arrive already 9pm & on the last day you depart Seoul reaching Malaysia on the 6th day early morning This post has been edited by stimix: Aug 5 2010, 11:10 PM

So long can take time to plan..no need to soon..haha..let me or others back & tell more story 1st..Still hv no idea yet..Not really planning yet...Korea actually not really my top tourisit destination actually bcos of lack of anient history & monotonous culture..booking for the purpose of getting the cheap fare haha ..impulsive buying chor..

The 1st day arrive late can also mean can sleep overnite at airport & only check in to the hotel nxt day haha

Need to do abit of research which I hv yet to do..You can goto the pinned currency xchange thread & read the last few posting by me by comparing money changer rate, Bank negara rate & google for Seoul money changer rate..Of the diff between the market (Bank negara) & money chnager is great, than, changing to USD 1st probbaly is good but if the money changer & market rate is not huge, changing here will reduce the hassle bcos AA flight to Seoul all reaching late at nite!

Can stay overnite at the airport..save 1 nite acc..haha..Lotsa mat salleh backpackers doing this

Thinking of a dayor 1.2 day tour to DMZ..wondering whether easy to go there & anmy restriction..wanna take picture beside North korea army liao

Anyone having expereince or any contact organisingday/ 1.2 day trip to 38 DMZ zone?

Too bad we can't cross over to PyongYang from Seoul..otherwise, it will be much adventurous to North Korea rather than South Korea

aeiou,

Wah u do luv nami island...Winter Sonata probably poisoned you kaw kaw haha. Anyway, the travel agent link shared by Seng007 here: http://www.seoulcitytour.net/English/eng_menu_02_05.html
pretty interesting although on the high side ~RM260/pax min..walau ehhh

Do share when you can find cheaper options..

Actually, it is expensive after thinking of the street food can cost an avg 7000won or RM20/bowl!! comparing this to avg HK wanton noodle at HK$15 or ~RM7

However hotels can be as low as US$38 which is a relief..phewwss & nice hearing that hostel can get as low as US$30 for private ensuite.

OK tnx, earlier forumers was quoting 6000-7000won for a simple st food..pheww..

I think all those Asian MRT cards are worth it..I used the Taipei easycard wth refundable deposit (not sure this T-card) & it was so convenient wth the discounted fare thrown-in. All-in, I only spent ~ RM60/pax on most of my 6D5N stays in Taipei last yr wth their easycard system..can even used to take their train service to Keelung & also their bus services...Worth every $$...no need taxi haha

Not sure these 2 maps good or not

BTW, do PM me if you can find one

Otherwise, I probably DL ovimaps dy.

Instead of out of city ski resorts, There are also ski resorts just out of Seoul, one of it Seould Ski resort. Any review on this resort? Only 30min from Seoul?

Cheju is like flying from Kl to Batam island (~ 450km South of Seoul) if the cheapest non promo return flight ticket to Singapore from KL is ~ RM300+, so expecting the same going from Seou; to cheju lor..& Busan also not near from Seoul;. it's about 300km on the other side of peninsular.
