For girls who want to shop through the trip, kindly bring as much cash and credit as you can! =DD
We bought the return flight ticket from AirAsia during the promotion period. For the domestic flight in Korea, we took JejuAir which cost us just 200 bucks for two trips! It's really easy to book the flight ticket online and you not even required to fill in your passport ID!
Before the trip, I and a friend of mine applied for International Driving Permit in JPJ. The cost for IDP is RM150 per person and it took less than an hour to get it. I'm impressed.
Next, I rented a car from AJ car rental through rentalcars.com. Or you can choose to download the rentalcars apps from google playstore which is much more convenient. The car we reserved was Hyundai Avante. It was very spacious for 4 of us including our 4 big luggage.
For the KTX, we bought the day before we left Seoul to Busan from the counter in Seoul Station. It is just a two hours ride and the train is very comfortable. If you have four in a group, they will ask you to choose either 4 seats that facing each other or the one parallel. (For us, we choose to face each other so that we can chit chatting throughout the journey! XD It is more spacious compared to the parallel seat as well. )
For lodging, we mainly use Airbnb. The hosts we met are very nice to us and helpful. The rooms are all so well equipped, clean and comfortable. Besides, the locations are so strategic especially the loft house we stayed in Busan! I really love the loft house!!!
We had applied free T-money card, discount coupons, and voucher as well as maps from visit korea .
It helps us to save a little amount of T-money and entrance fee as well.
We reserved the wiyo wifi egg and collected it in KLIA 2. Although the charging cable they provided was spoilt, we manage to charge it with our own cable. The wifi egg gets handy when we trying to figure our way in a foreign city.
Last but not least, the apps we used throughout our trip.
- VisitKorea
- Rentalcars
- Subway Korea (able to calculate the cost according to fastest and least transit, very useful!!)
- 韩巢 (konest)
They are very useful for us to make sure we didn't get lost in this beautiful foreign city~
