I sprained my knee when climbing down hill as raining that day. Do not recommend u hike the mountain if u unfit. Either up or down is not recommended at this cold weather. As there is no built in walking path and ladders which Sg gov did. Traveling by car from Seoul is about 3hr+ depends on traffic. So go and back take half day. Since the leafs isn't red. U might plan to visit other area in Seoul.

I cleared the place already that's why I say 20% red, peak should take another 10-14days I Guess..

It was a pretty decent experience since hiking is like national sports of korea

Never update your trip, so far ok? The photographer ask you take photo or not?

Oh,for our 2 days jeju trip,we move around one circle the whole of jeju island.visited roughly 7 to 8 tourist attractions and only 1 shopping mall that underground.It something like our bugis.alot of tourist there,it call seven stars dong

Food wise,i like the hotel buffef most and the black boar meat.The rrst soso,still prefer sg food.

If u bring elderly parents,u have to prepare them since there alot of walking,i told them it fine to walk slowly however they seems excitied end up go back hotel have to rub some han medicine,heng the tour guide buy for us.It quite effective for them.

My sis and I visited some places near our hotel after the activities over but not much things,most shops close at 9,went visit their 711,buy 米酒,fried chicken jiak go their LG and some shops ssrr lol

Ic, hahaha still thinking go by tour or f&e. Do your tour have the Photographers follow? Also like very rush and not much to enjoy every place. And old people can take the cold or not is my worry.
Thanks for your update.

Hello! Can anyone give advice if I buy the 4 day flexible korail pass online in Singapore, I can only reserve seats when I reach korea? What happens if they run out of the time slots and date that I want?

Is it worth the risk?:eek:

To Busan and Jeonju. 9dec go jeonju for one day trip and 11-13 to busan.
They count by per day trip right? means I'm only using 3 out of 4 days korail in this case.

should be cold so be prepared. someone told me that when eating at the restaurant try to take out your coat or jacket to eat and bear with cold, don't let your body get used to the warmth with the jacket, otherwise when go out that time the jacket no use le, you will feel cold.

you plan to wear normal sneakers/shoes or boots?

No i think it must be 3 days straight. Cannot split. Example 11,12,13 dec.

Thats what i remembered reading on the korail website.
