Pocket Wifi. Rupe dia cam ni..

Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)

1) Saya nak ke Namsan GH, nak naik bus no brape & brape won tambang bus?
Bus 6015 - tambang 10,000 won
Bus 6001 - tambang 14,000 won - bus ni akan singgah Gimpo Airport dulu before proceed to Seoul

2) Saya sampai airport pukul 9.45pm, agak2 sempat tak nak amik last bus pegi Myeongdong?
kalo nak try naik bus tu gak..start dr smpi tu trus gi ke area aerotrain...follow je direction..dah smpi main buliding..ko kene lari kejo eskelator kecik lagi sempit tu nak naik atas ..time ni le kene rebut2 skit dgn org lain..kat situ nak tuju imigresen..byk line nye tapi try to be dlm line yg pendek...kat situ kejap je ceknye kalo dah dok depan2 + kalo x de rolem..and nak lagi slamat bawak cabin luggage je so x yah le nak tunggu beg...so confirm sempat..
chimei slalu dok rempit kat area imigresen tu le..pastu tunggu beg kejap je kuar..pastu lari keluar kat gate 5...mmg seyes sempat la so far wat keje2 running2 ni....kalo bleh jgn singgah mane2 le...tiket bus bleh beli time nak naik bus tu..

3) Macam mana nak pakai KR Pass?

1. beli tix online kat web dia n print voucher
2. naik subway pegi seoul station (korail station) n redeem KR pass. tunjuk voucher kat kaunter n nnti dorang akan kasik KR pass ni (ni 3 day pass ye)

3. bile dah dpt KR Pass ni baru la ko pi claim tiket ko nak gi mane..cuntuh ke Busan, check timetable display tuk naik train pukul brape n bitau kat kaunter tu..and nnti dorang akan issue tiket ni..

4.  everytime ko nak dpt tiket ni tunjuk la KR pass tu (KR pass ni kita simpan ye)

5. ape je ko bleh naik guna KR pass ni? Subway tak buleh. cuma train korail je..cuntuh KTX, Saemaul, Mugunghwa. Semua destinasi yg menggunakan train2 ni buleh le guna KR pass.

6. Kalo ko guna KR pass ni tuk travel luar Seoul mmg berbaloi sbb bleh guna korail train ni.  kalo within seoul cam x bebaloi sbb tmpt2 semua reachable by subway.

again KR pass x bleh guna tuk subway ye..

hope that help..

Kat dlm long distance train ( KTX, Saemul, Mugunghwa) boleh makan and ade org jual2 makanan jugak .

4) Berape tambang taxi dari Incheon International Airport ke Seoul?
Kalau suruh guesthouse yg arrangekan, biasenye diorang charge dlm 60,000 won per car .. max 3-4 person
Kalau amik taxi direct from airport, charge from 80,000 won onwards

5) Macam mana nak book air tickets to Jeju ?

T'Way Airlines

Sila refer to Zarina's blog on how to register as member first
http://budgettravel2korea.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-register-for-tway-airlines.html

Ni pulak how to buy the tickets
http://budgettravel2korea.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-purchase-tickets-from-tway.html

*credit goes to tuan empunya blog yer...

6) Register Eastar Jet but receive error ''Enter your name in Roman characters only' ?

Nama tak boleh ada space ...

7) Kalo nak beli sim card koya (prepaid) ada jual kat mana? berapa rm? telco apa?

Korea takde prepaid & dorang nya system different ngan kita.
Recommended beli Calling Card ( mcm ITalk card tu) ..

Kene make sure tepon tu ade at least 3G .... kalo tepon takde 3G, takleh pakai kat sane utk wat call...

8) Senang tak nak carik Wifi?

Wifi connection ade merata2 ...some are free, some are not ...coffee shops biasenye free .. dlm subway pun ade Wifi.. dlm KTX pun ade ( free lagik ) ... guesthouse biasenye provide free wifi ...

9) Macam mana nak pegi Sokcho from Nami Island

Naik train dari Gapyeong ke nam chuncheon station (sbb station neh  yg dekat chuncheon bus terminal)
Then, naik bus ker sokcho (dekat 3jam gak la)

Bus fare chuncheon- sokcho 12500 won

chuncheon bus terminal walking distence dari nam chuncheon station iaitu 2nd last station....kalau last station line neh kan chuncheon tapi station chuncheon jauh dari chuncheon bus terminal so klu saper 2 yg nak gi chuncheon bus terminal kene turun kat nam chuncheon 2nd station last before chuncheon station

More explanation : http://mforum.cari.com.my/viewthread.php?tid=644742&extra=page%3D1&page=28 --> post#696

10) Kalau nak pos barang, brape rate?

pos guna DHL.... 77k won utk 17.1 kg....so lebih kurang 4k la utk sekilo... Lebih kurang 12 hengget sekilo... Fiza rasa cam ok jer... X la mahal sgt.... Cepat pn cepat... Fiza anta khamis ptg, sabtu pagi dg sampai kastam....

11) Ade tak beg wrapping service kat Incheon International Airport?

kalau nk wrap kat Incheon Airport takder.. just ikat and kotak jer disediakan. aritu me ngan kwn amik yg ikat jer.. =) rega utk tali tu, 3k per bag

Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)

12) Macammana nak beli tiket ITX?

Boleh refer kat blog chimei nih : http://myoutsteps.blogspot.com/2012/06/south-korea-9th-trip-day-3.html
Seat selection : mase aku beli tu aku tak pilih seat..mesin tu mmg dah choose seat tuk 6 org..mmg sebelah2 la...based on yg mane kosong..so aku x perlu pilih dah..tapi timing tu mmg mesin tu yg tetapkan...let say ko smpi kul 9..tapi seat yg available tuk 6 org cuma ade kul 11 je so dia akan auto select time tu + seat number...aku rase boleh je pilih seat ....kalo dah penuh mesin tu akan inform kat situ...

ITX ni mmg dr yongsan je ker?klu cheongyani ke gapyeong xde ker?
ITX ni stop kat 6 station ye..so bleh naik kat mane2 6 station ni..kat every stop yg dia berenti tu bleh beli tiket

Yongsan (용산)
Cheongnyangni (청량리)
Pyeongnae hopyeong (평내호평)
Gapyeong (가평)
Namchuncheon (남춘천)
Chuncheon (춘천)

13) Macam mana nak beli tiket Jeju Air to Jeju ?

a) Kene register as member dulu baru boleh beli tiket
b) Nama passenger kene taip without spacing : example : MOHAMMAD ALI kene type MOHAMMADALI
c) Bila dah proceed sampai purchase information kena click "Foreign Issued Card" dan bukan " credit card" (credit card tu hanya untuk local sahaja).

InsyaAllah akan diupdate sekarang busy boss lambakkan kerja xhengat *jeling jer paper work atas meja* hahahha

Cuma 1 jer nak bagi cadangan, sesiapa yg nk backpacking ke Korea ni silalah enjoy seenjoy-enjoynya(apakah ayat aku hahah) sbb mmg terbaik kalo pergi backpacking, tak terikat atau tersekat korang redah jer mana tempat korang nak pergi. Kitorang 1st day dah terlepas sampai ke Chuncheon sebab dapat tiket concert free yehaaaaaa!! Tapi experience 1st day mmg awesome weyhhh, kitorang buat mcm negara sendiri muka masing2 konfiden walaupun nak ke luar Seoul huhuuh.

Guest House yg kitorang duduk pun best sgt & selesa. Owner dia pun mmg terbaik ahh really helpful & well speak in English. Yang penting apa2 hal pun sila buat research sebelum pergi. Sila khatam subway mereka, sila study routes setiap tempat korang nak pergi so mmg kena well prepared kalau tak sampai sana korang panic dan xtau nak buat apa huhuhu. Ini nasihat aku kitorang memang well prepared ahh backpacking ke Korea ni. Semua study dari thread ni + blog2 yg berkaitan. Alhamdulillah apa yg kitorang plan semua dipermudahkan.

So kesimpulannya tahun depan akan terjah KOREA lagi InsyaAllah semoga murah rezeki hahahahaha
