South Korea Trip Part I

It's been like a century I dont post anything here. Well, as usually I was busy with my work life. This time I'm gonna post about my trip to Korea on last winter (Dec 22'10 - Jan 03'11) with my mom & relatives. Actually at first I was a bit stressed out since I imagined that I'll bring a bunch of children & oldies travel round in South Korea and arrange everything from flights to hotels, bus, KTX schedule & itinerary of our trip from end to end, etc by my self. However, Our trip was fun and everybody enjoyed it a lot.

Here our trip was began.....

On Dec 22nd, 2010 we took 8am flight fm Medan to KL then transit for a few hours prior departed to Inchoen at 1.45pm malaysia time. We arrived at Inchoen on time at 9.45pm local time. It was quite late since the last airport bus to town usually heading at 10.30pm. Thus, we were rushing to change money and buy some mineral waters inside the airport. First time came out from the airport it felt like go into a freezer but we still could stand it 'coz few of us only wear 1 layer of cloth (a sweater with unbuttoned jacket).

Directions to take airport bus to town :
Just walk outside the arrival gate and you will easily find airport bus stops in front of the gate. But first you have to know which area you are reaching for. There were several busses with numbers regarding to the destinations. All destinations written on the signage boards. Read it in order to find the correct bus you are looking for. Then just wait 'til the bus coming, pay the ticket right before you hop in to the bus, the cost is KRW 10.000/person for adult and KRW 9.000/person for children.

The Airport bus #6005 stopped right infront of our hotel, Fraser Place Service Residents****, a condo style with 2 bed rooms, living room, dining table, complete kitchen set with refrigerator, microwave and gas to cook that function very well. Actually the service residents was supposed for 3 persons althought it's very spacious and fit for 9 persons like us in 1 condo. Luckily the recepsionist was kindhearted and let us checked in without additional charges since it was midnite already and I told her that we gonna checked out in early morning to catch the bus to Yongpyong Sky Resort. But she reminded us that next time they will charging us KRW 30000/person (@_@).

Anyway, when we finished checked in it was 12.00am, we all were starving, decided to find foods around, but at that time, all resto were closed already. So we were heading to a convinience 24 hours store across the street of Fraser Place back door and we ended up having midnite supper there (instant noodle and all kind of "microwave" ready to serve foods) 'coz uniquely they placed a set of dining table and chairs in the store.
