Autumn in South Korea 2012 - summary itinerary

Esok tea akan bertolak ke Madinah, untuk mengerjakan umrah dengan family members, Doakan perjalanan kami selamat ye & mendapat umrah yang mabrur... aamiin~~ so, i wont be posting for the next two weeks...

Since tea dah janji dengan kawan2 tea untuk post about my recent trip to South Korea, now tea nak mengotakan janji ituh~~~ our 10 days trip itinerary ni cover following tempat, tp memandangkan tea kesuntukan masa sket, tea hanya summary sket2 aje, the details of the places akan di story2 dalam post2 later ekk~~

Autumn in Korea ni mmg first budget travelling yang tea try, sebelum2 ni tea prefer ikut tour package aje... so, utk budget travelling ni, ape yang kita kena prepare sendiri?? actually, tea mmg banyak refer dekat forum cari -klik sini --->>> Forum Cari: All About South Korea .... so checklist utk budget travel, antaranya macam kat bawah nie

1. beli & book in advance ticket flight domestic (e.g. Busan-Jeju, Jeju-Seoul)
2. book free tour bus to Seoul - Busan Korea Tourism Organization
3. book in advance all the guesthouses yang kita plan nak stay~~
4. senarai restoran halal (amek dalam list forumer cari share tu, korea ni mmg susah sket cari makanan halal, so, kena take note sket senarai dia nie)
5. senarai kedai souvenir yang murah2...
6. beli siap2 kad prepaid utk subway dia... mmg korea subway & train services sangat best coverage & murah... tp just beware dengan bau2 kimchi yang menusuk hidung dalam train tu, especially time summer... sistem train kat Japan is of course better, tp Seoul nyer system pun tak kurang efficientnya...
7. bawa kompas yer, bawak stokin & pompuan pakai tudung syria aje, senang nak solat takyah baiki2 tudung...
8. print siap2 ler peta subway dia, or you can download it online & make sure to make it available offline jugak... tea siap2 download subway map seoul, busan terus...
9. tea jugak download korean languages dictionary (simple conversation)... mmg berguna ok, especially time mencari toilet, mencari arah, mengorder makanan... penggunaan smartphone mmg bagus kannnn....
10. wifi di korea adalah everywhere!!!! just name it!! dekat guesthouse, any restaurants, coffee house, even subway pun provide free wifi ok!!!!
11. berpakaian ikut musim & suhu yer, FYI, winter di korea ada yang capai -20 degC (dekat area mount seorak & yong pyong, so, just be prepared, dont underestimate suhu kat korea...
12. travel adapter!!!
13. overall cost untuk 10 hari di korea ni cuma RM 2300 (termasuk flight tiket KL-Seoul, Busan-Jeju, Jeju-Seoul, Seoul-KL, tmasuk juga guesthouse, makan minum, bayaran tiket masuk places, teksi, shopping, tour guide kat jeju & semua2 tu la~~~)
14. dah datang korea ni, beli laa face mask banyak2 & bbcream... makeup pun murah sgt2... tea beli eyeliner aje, sbb tea tak suka mekap...

okay, bawah ni simple itinerary from 13 - 21st october 2012... just take note the main place yang tea cover which is Seoul, Busan, Jeju & Nami Island...

13/10 - Arriving Seoul
Flight tea to Seoul is on 12th October malam... the journey was 8 hours... the return tickets that tea bought is only for RM 620 all in!!!! murah giler kannnn....tea dan kawan2 naik air asia aje~~ beli tiket awal2 time promo... kali ni tea ke South Korea dengan 8 orang kawan (asal2 nya 11 tp lagi 3 orang dah tarik diri & burn their tickets!! huhuhu rugi nyer).... bawah ni gambar kawan2 tea, yang lain2 tengah gi beli air mineral... hehehhe

sampai2 di Incheon, kami disambut banner besar poster girls generation kat incheon airport.... pastu, sbb perut dah berkeroncong (kes jimat duit tanak beli meal atas flight & jugak jaga badan tanak makan kol 3 pagi) kami pun singgah beli dunkin donuts... there goes my first autumn breakfast at Seoul...

Tea amek airport bus aje,  untuk yang stay dekat area Myeongdong, bole amek bus nombor 6015... Harga tiket cuma 10,000 won (lebih kurang RM28).. time ni tea amek bas 6011 sbb tea stay dekat area Gyeongbokgung... hari pertama ni mmg kitorang jalan2 area palace ni aje~~

di Seoul, Busan & Jeju, mmg tea hunting for Coffee houses.. sbb coffee2 dekat Korea ni sedappp & banyak choices & siap ada academy coffee brewing hokehh~~~

14/10 - Free bus to Busan (6 hours journey) free tickets tu kami dapat di sini Korea Tourism Organization
Di Busan kami tinggal di Sum Guesthouse... mmg berbaloi2 dengan harga, service & condition yang bersih & of course, wifi laju ya hamattt kat bilek~~~

16/10 - Flight to Jeju... di sini kami stay di Yeha Guesthouse, okay lesson learnt for this trip.. kalo korang mahu ke Jeju Island, Plisssss Plissss Plisss stay sini more than 3 days... kalo boleh lebih seminggu!!!!!!!!!!!!! dalam banyak2 tempat di Korea tea penah pegi, definitely Jeju is the best place... malang utk kami, kitorang spend 3 days aje kat Jeju.. uhuhuhuhuhu....

19/10 - Back to Seoul - visit Nami Island... kitorang gi Nami Island dengan train aje.. lepas tu naik teksi... mmg murah & jimattttt & cepatttt..... di sini, kami buat gempakkk sket~~~ kami pakai baju kurung/ jubah oke... bila kami pakai traditional dress camtu, berpusu2 korean nak bergambar ngn kitorang.. rasa cam celebrity pun hader~~~

malam tu plak kitorang gi Namsan tower... for uols, plis plis plisss laa pegi Namsan tower waktu malam ek, even ramai orang beratur panjang, but it's still worth it... ada pertujukan dekat tower tu okeh~~ impressive~~!!!

21/10 - Back to KL

Okay, tea mmg briefly aje citer pasal itinerary kat atas tu sbb tea plan nak citer the attractions at each places individually in every post.... kalo Jeju 1 posting, kalo Busan, 1 posting, sbb it's sooo unfair if i summarize all in 1 post... nanti uols miss the excitement plak!!!

okay~~~

p/s: bawah ni gambar2 dekat Nami island aje~~ sbb tajuk tulis autumn kan~~ so, tea rasa gamba2 ni sangat2 laa related dengan tema Autumn in Korea~~ hehehehe
