Hi Dasalo,


Sori it should be YongPyang. My spelling mistake. For the cost for 8 days, you may send them an email they might be able to help.

Has for the spa we will be going to Jjimjilbang, but then again when we are back at the hotel for relaxing it is always nice to hangout at a pool, before going for a nt out for makan or shopping.

Talk abt shopping is there anywhere we cud buy summer cloths in Seoul. From what I understand frm trip advisor , manly only winter wears are sold.

Any suggestions.

Haha....What I meant was it cost you for your total trip of 8 days. Cos I see you go all high end budget.

No way to buy summer clothes in Seoul during winter. You may want to try Ewha Womans University.

Follow this link.

You may still find some summer clothings at some stores if lucky.

Hi Yes we are paying slightly more as we wanted a private transfer and also our accommodation are on the higher end.

Korea’s winter is harsh. Important to stay in a good hotel with proper heating. It makes a difference. Same choice of hotel as mum03 for the same reasons. If I remember correctly, the Nanta theater is also nearby.

If you are not particular of status and demanding of being private, there's a airport limousine outside the arrival. Go to the booth and look for your destination area or hotel. It costs about 9000won to around Myeongdong (that's my price in 2009, I'm sure there are changes). Private Limo charges ranging from 60,000 to 100,000 depending...so taxis, normal ie. the silver ones should range from about 40,000 won onwards maybe. The black taxis are pricier, they are like our D. Chrysler 300 taxis.

Check this site out. It has grown healthy with lots of information, I find it interesting and informative. (by an American Korean, I think)

actually transportation in korea is rather cheap. i dont recommend taking the train coz there's lots of stairs & will be rather inconvenient dragging your luggage around. i will be taking the normal limousine bus 6015 which stops infront of Ibis hotel, just abt less than 5mins walk to my hotel. U can take the KAL limousine which stops at your hotel directly. Pls refer to the link below for details.
