hi all,interesting discussion here. i really want to ask other opinion since some of you already went there, is it ok to backpack or going there by travel agent. honestly i think going by travel agent is quite expensive...

i'm pursuing my friend to backpack to get the experience being a backpacker. really hope she will agree with me

nejin:how much do you budget for the travel (total cost)

there is article mention that Korea is now try to attract muslim traveller by providing more halal food and space to prayer (eg:nami island).is it true?
and how about the immigration, is it ok if we have lot of food (eg:maggi) in our bag

thanks 4

sfwong:haiya you also will go there first by travel agent?travel agent is good but i'm not interested in shopping-really hope my friend will agree with me this time.by the way how much do you budget to go there?. (ermm...i think it is ok 4 u to tag along with nejin-the only problem is when it come to 'makan' time )

nejin: i think we maybe going there by the end of this year or early next year. You can join us if u want (but i think we are an unnie to you,he3). Can you share your itineraries here ( if not can you pm it together with your cost).

fazarock & andrekua:you go there by agent right, may i know whether the cost stated in their website has already included all the admission/entrance fees.

can someone recommend the MUST visit places which are totally different from what we have here in malaysia

guys, my friend agreed to backpack.so happy,previously she wanted to go by agent. we might go there next January,now starting to save money & learn korean language

huiyin_hsu:welcome home
nejin:can you share your itineraries.maybe after you vacation there

AA already advertise about Korea in their website.so excited now. hopefully it is a good bargain

sfwong:when will you be backpacking to Korea?
shauyan:agreed.only backpacking will have the real fun
nejin:the link you gave is really helpful.I admire you cousin for doing that. Will you go to Jeju island.

FYI,we changed our plan from January to late March,my friend wants to exprience spring.i don't mine as long as we can travel there within the first quarter of next year.

wah so many people here already. I already booked my ticket,good bargain since we budgeted RM1600-RM2100 for ticket only.

mingyew:you can book your ticket from Asiana Airlines, Jeju Air or Jin Air airlines. Korean Air is okay too but i think it's a bit expensive

nejin (i hope you read this):many thanks for all the links your provided before. It is definetely daebak.

Already thinking to go there after our first trip since this time will only cover Seoul & Jeju.
