TRAVEL TO KOREA
**** WEATHER :
This weather is pretty cool so everyone here should pay attention to the weather. Best to wear a jacket or thin sweater.
The most beautiful season of the year is autumn, late October to December because the leaves are beautifully red and yellow.

**** GO :
When you arrive in KOREA, the first thing you have to do is to buy a Tmoney card at the convenience store in the airport! The price is 4,000 won for the empty card and should be added about 30,000 won to serve the move for the whole trip! (The train cost is ~ 1400won, the bus is around ~ 1,000won, the taxi is 2.400 for the first 2km and the 100won for the next 144m)
♦ Tmoney is a payment method for public transportation such as subway, bus, ... the price tag is much cheaper than buying a ticket for each block. Get a refund if you miss.

  • Getting to the subway: The first step is to identify the direction, swipe the card and follow the instructions located at the station. In general, it's pretty easy as long as you have a bit of a headache, it's a good idea to go to the Tourist Information Center to get a map that is easy to follow.
    ❗ ❗ ❗ Note: 12h night - 1am is all shipped out so pay attention to a few hours if you do not want to be walking on his first day like:))

    **** WIFI :
  • Because in KOREA the procedure of making new sims for foreigners is quite ambiguous, so there is a good service for renting wifi: 3) . I rented at the airport is 39,600 won / 6 days. They will record some of their information and then pay to pay. Go to the east, the share is super cheap, the network is still stretched to cover all steps
  • If you do not want to spend money to play wifi, the train station, a number of tourist attractions, stopping at KOREA are installed free wifi, sometimes slightly flicker but but generally good.
    **** EATING :
  • At KOREA, you must try the following:
  • Bimbimbap: rice mixed KOREA + Fried chicken & Beer: fried chicken and beer
  • Gimbab: KOREA rice rolls
  • Dakgalbi: cabbage with cabbage
    Octopus: Octopus fried with spicy
  • Kimchi
  • Bingsu
  • Bulgogi: fried beef
    Actually, I see the quality of the restaurant is the same, so feel free to go home :)) Average food prices ranged from 6,000 to 20,000 won depending on the dish. You can order 7 eleven, GS25, ... to buy ready-to-eat food like rice, fried noodles, sausage, chicken rice ... for 1,000-6,000 won. I eat the fifth day, more than 3 million a little (150,000 won) 
    **** SHOPPING HINT:
    We have the right sale off 50%, so most of the big price is only 5,000-15,000 won, including the original price is only 10,000-20,000 won is stretch :))
  • Ginseng. If there are acquaintances to buy, then it is difficult to choose the place to sell ginseng delicious because this party they sell full.
  • Clothing, electronics, ...

    🏯 DAY 4: ISLAND NAMI
    Actually this was my intention but was canceled because it was raining. And here is some information I've consulted before to go and return on Nami Island Day:
  • There are 2 ships are ITX fast train and subway normal. ITX Express departs from Yongsan Station and Cheongyanggi Station, fare is 3,400won / way. The normal subway is 2,500won / way. Tickets can be purchased directly at the station. Nami's destination is Gapyeong Station.
    When arriving at Gapyeong Station, take the ferry (or cable car) to Nami Island, then take the bus across the street, opposite the station. Tmoney bus is 1,250 won / pm.
    When arriving at the ferry to Nami Island, the round trip ticket for foreigners is 8,000won and Korean is 10,000won. I think when I come here I should take my passport for sure: D
  • After dinner on the island of Nami finished the land can stay Dakgalbi home. Other then Gapyeong station and then Seoul

    🏯 DAY 5: BOARD OF CITY HALL, HONGDAE AREA
    🚄 GA Gyeongbokgung (LINE 3) and exit Exit 5:
    This place really wants to go to Seoul City Hall but because of passport or ID should be in the area so wandering around time
  1. Gyeongbokgung Palace: Famous palace in KOREA. Passing but skip ko because to buy tickets:))
    Go through the memory of lighting them incense. Qwanghwamun square: Go straight out the palace is home. This is where the statue of the ancient kings or stars. What impresses me the most is that underneath the statue is the memorial to the victims of the 2014 boat flip
  2. Double-decker Bus Tour: This is Seoul City Tour Bus, starting from Donghwa Duty Free Shop from Gwanghwamun Station to EXIT 6 or City Hall Station to EXIT 3. (Then walk another 300m).
    In this place, I walk down to City Hall for quite close: 3
  3. Deoksugung Doldam-gil: It's just a beautiful wall to take photos of
  4. Seoul Museum of art: Museum of Art
    Walking tired of passion, decided to climb the train straight to Ehwa womans University Station. Here we continue to open a new Seoul completely new friends:))
    🚄 GA Ehwa womans University (LINE 2) and exit Exit 2
  5. Ewha womans university "Street you want to visit": Just out of Exit 2 will be a beautiful street as in the picture nhé:)) Also another beautiful shopping mall.
    2. Ewha womans university: Go straight to the top of the street to go to the beautiful girls' school in Seoul. Beautiful enough to make it a tourist spot for tourists is that people understand that
  6. Sinchon pedestrian-friendly street: Go from Ehwa school, turn right hand is to. One more way to shop for refreshments: 3 This is a great place to hang out for a long time. Go slowly to Sinchon Station.

    I fly 11:05 AM so I have to go from 7AM. It is advisable for you to go to the airport 3 hours in advance in case of getting lost or want to make Tax refund at the airport.
    From the center of Seoul, continue to find LINE Airport Railroad (A'REX) for Incheon Airport.
    *** TAX REFUND PROCEDURE ***
