Last spring.. I don't know.. We planned in a short time and we'd been strolling around Korea crazily. It's quite absurd for making such decision in sudden but luckily Aini is expert in planning the intenerary for travelling.. sooo.. I just count on her for the journey and expenses and etc while i do all the reseach about foods and places to visit to! Yyeeeaayyy!!
Actually we headed to seoul from busan because we landed at Gimhae Airport,Busan by Peach Aviation.From Fukuoka to Busan,it took around 50 minutes to get there by plane. By that time, there were cheap fares i guess for spring season and we got emails for the fare prices. Do subscribe the air planes websites to get information about cheap fares or promotions if you do like travelling.. It helps a lot! Here are the places that we listed to visit to but of course we did not went to all of these because we only had a day a seoul. Since we planned to visit Korea again so it's not a problem and we leisurely enjoy our time at Korea!
We listed out some places that we would like to visit:
Myeongdong Market (countless shops and restaurants,korean products facial,skin consultation)
Ehwa Woman's University
Dongdaemun Market(very nice,full with neon lights at night,cheap and diverse clothes,)
Itaewon(Halal food,Mosque,Islamic view in Korea)
Lotte World
Insadong(Traditional teas,pottery,hanji[traditional paper],traditional Korean crafts,ceramics,accessories)
Gwanghang Market
Namdaemun Market(Mainly sell crops,fruits,sundries,textile goods,utensils,imported goods)
N Seoul Tower
Bukcheon Hanok Village
Things to remember to bring along:
We also went to Itaewon for delicious meals and perform prayer at the mosque. Here is the link for the trip at Itaewon.. click HERE. The prices there was cheap and great. We enjoyed Samgyetang(12000krw),Bulgogi(10000krw),Bibimbap(8000krw), and Chicken Briyani Rice(5000krw).

| T Money |
We downloaded some apps for travelling like korea transit apps and triposo. Do plan your journey and list down all the time and prices and stops for the train or busses! There are tons of apps you can use to check out all the informations. We rent a pocket wifi from the Global wifi and pick it up at the Fukuoka Airport.It is easy to rent via global wifi through internet and just bring along your pasport at the time you want to pick your wifi pocket.
We bought two cards (T Money) for 20000krw each and charged it with about 50000krw.It is very cheap to use public transport there..! You can use the T money for public transport as well as at the convenience stores.
Things to remember to bring along:
-Bagpackers
-money(changed to krw) & credits cards
-power bank to recharge electronic devices,cameras
-pocket wifi (pick up at airport)
-flight tickets
-clothes to change and for emergency
-sunblock/hat, umbrella
From Busan Station to Seoul Station, we took KTX train(Gyeongbu line).You can buy the KTX tickets online HERE. Just redeem your tickets at the Busan KTX station.Then,from the Seoul Station, we headed to Incheon Airport by AREX for 4150krw.From Incheon Airport,we took AREX to Myeongdong for 1250krw.Myeongdong and Namdaemun are so near, just at walking distance so we save our budgets by walking to each destinations.Insadong was quite far but we managed to walk to there..! It is quite hard to go to Insadong but you can just ask someone nearby for the directions.
We also went to Itaewon for delicious meals and perform prayer at the mosque. Here is the link for the trip at Itaewon.. click HERE. The prices there was cheap and great. We enjoyed Samgyetang(12000krw),Bulgogi(10000krw),Bibimbap(8000krw), and Chicken Briyani Rice(5000krw).
