Eh I suggest not to take the AREX.. My airport transfer from Seoul Station to Incheon Airport was via the AREX. And at the AREX Incheon International Airport station, I had to lug my 25kg luggage + 10kg handcarry up the so called Travelators which was so damn long, steep & slow and they could not hold my luggage still at all!!! If I let go of my luggage, it would all have fell all the way down and hit someone!!! Imagine if you bring along a kid, are u going to hold on to ur dear luggage or dear kid? I'm not sure if they was a lift as I didn't see one. The walk from the AREX station to the airport became long n tiring. The airport limousine bus / taxi will stop directly outside the airport so pls take the airport limousine bus instead..
is arex the train?? -

thks dasalo, just told my dh... we would have thought limousine to be some airport cars or mini bus... stupid me....
dasalo

Yes its like our mrt train. The other 2 trains in Korea are KTX & ITX, which is like a bullet train for travel inter-city.
Iām sure u can find the KAL limousine bus, just approach their information counter for help if in need. -

my dh says we will miss the autumn... and he insisted to go to the dmz border to see the \"tension\" between north and south korea... i dunno but no choice, got to follow... -
verykiasumummy:
Verykiasumummy, you going free n easy? I think it is better to join inland tour to DMZ.

It is very peaceful there along the border. I remembered back in 2004, I had to travel by train to this place call Imjingak in Paju district. From there, we went to the Joint Security Area at Panmunjeom too. It's a day long tour trip on our own, I think we had to pay for some guided tour to get to the border and see the 3rd tunnel etc... You can't venture on your own if I'm not wrong.
Mummychia and Verykiasumummy can be easily confused.
