hello~ want to ask when is the best time to busan? been to seoul during summer and autumn. wondering if busan weather same as seoul?

btw, AA got promo busan 2 way rm590 not incl seat,luggage etc. is it cheap?

Busan tends to be milder in winter than Seoul, the temperature seldom goes below 0 deg at sea level.

In my opinion, end September & October is the best time to visit. Winter can also be nice as long as you have suitable clothes - cloudless skies but there can be a biting wind.

Jirisan, I would think that most of the snow will be gone by March.

Wear appropriate hiking gear - warm jacket, hiking boots, hat and enjoy.

1. Any others apps better than google map? I heard google map not working good in korea
2. Any apps for check subway from points to points?
3. If rented car, do we need to take exam to convert into international driving license? or only pay to convert?

3 - if you have a valid Malaysia driving licence, buy an international driving permit from JPJ. They last for 2 years.

google here n there also end up with korean food.... myeongdong street food is also so so only .... all fried n nothing special.... i.e; prawn tempura... m'sia also got lar..........

End of May it will be warm daytime, maybe mid to high 20's, cooler in the evening, probably need a light sweater.

There's plenty of variety of Korean food, you just have to be a bit adventurous. Plenty of Korean BBQ places and others - bulgogi, panjeon, dakgalbi, etc. The beef in BBQ places is usually pretty good, much better than Malaysia. The fried chicken places are much more like pubs - Koreans always have a beer with dakgalbi.

I also thought of going to Jeonju for a day trip, will be visiting the hanok village & possibly night market. But I survey the high speed train from seoul to jeonju is quite pricey & to rent a local tour will cost about rm1.5k. Have anyone been to Jeonju? Would you recommend there as a place to go?

The long distance buses are reliable, frequent and fast. To buy tickets online I think you'll need the help of someone who can read Korean. In my opinion, a day trip is too much of a rush.

You say you're going in the spring time, you may be lucky and hit the spring blossom period. Take walking shoes and get out of Seoul up in the mountains, I'm not very familiar with Seoul but I expect you can take the subway to the end of the line and be out in some nice countryside.
