Already settled everything for jeju trip. Flight tickets RM1050 for two ppl :swt: almost half the price of air asia x tickets.

Car rental about RM480 for four days.

Seemed like no budget for hotel stay in seoul dy. Need to go for apartments dy lol. Any nice service apartments near myeongdong to intro?
RM400 for per person one-way right? Yup not much difference from t-way jeju flight (i booked mine for RM500 per person for return tickets). Wondering why the tickets to jeju are so expensive, while from jeju to gimpo are so cheap.

I went last October. A good hoodie that is windproof is needed. The night wind can bite you especially if you are on an open top bus for touring.

If i just wear a hoodie jacket(non windproof) i will still feel the cold?
i got a thin windrunner.. does it sufficient?

if not i guess i have to look for a thicker windrunner..

Wow, you got your Jeju tickets very cheap! I think yours is promo price, I bought in June-17, all promo tickets already sold out  sweat.gif

I am not so sure about the transfer from Incheon to Gimpo, but some research online say that you need to reserve a full 3 hours ahead before your flight in Gimpo, which is fine in your case.

Here's my itinerary for my 12D 11N trip. I will only go to Jeju on Day 6 (meaning in the middle of my trip).

wow! thanks for your details itinerary!! It would save alot of time of mine.. I just done mine for Jeju and working on Seoul.. I found it harder to plan compared to my previous trip to Taiwan mainly because i do not understand Korean..

you do not need to understand korean in order for planning. you can easily find lots of information in google, KTO web page, etc

I successfully self-learn Hangeul in one day, I would suggest you to try it. It's very simple.

Instead of preparing the list, which will possibly take you more time.

Anyway, tourist places around Seoul all come with Hangeul, English and Chinese. Jeju, some places only have Hangeul as of my research.

self-learn in a day? sound interesting... You learned in online?

When you going there? I'm interested in the DMZ/JSA tour as well but again not sure which agent to go for.

How long before my trip that I need to book the tour? I'm going end of January. Need to make sure there is spot as I heard it's hard to book as it's quite limited spot

same.. i go with koridoor.. i read the review.. so far almost all are satisfied with their service...
