The 7-Day Seoul Trip
November 08, 2016So yeah, I went to Seoul! Yeay yeay yeay! Like finally after a whole year craving to come. I'm going to dedicate this post to shar...
She found a picture of autumn in Seoul on the internet with streets and changing color trees, printed and patched it to a board and hung it on the wall of her room.
And her life continued...
Until one day, her friend called about cheap budget flight tickets to Seoul. And then her life's spinning again.
So guys, if you have this one place you want to visit so bad but only have limited budget, always check on cheap budget airlines, which in this case I used AirAsia. Even if you have enough budget to travel in luxury, why spend much on flights, while you can use it as an extra for your shopping splurge. But this is just my opinion, so if you feel like you have to travel in comfort (yes, going abroad could take hours on plane depends on the destination), then pick the one that suits you well.
1. Get your ticket secured
Whenever you found a good price, hurry and pay for it. Cheap tickets won't last long. You have to click the button as soon as possible because you have people around the world that might looking for the same thing as you.
2. Hotel deal
After you secure your tickets, next step is to book your hotel. I got everything done on booking.com. You can book it for free and pay it on arrival. It helps so much especially on peak times where people are hunting hotels for holidays. I picked a comfy guesthouse at Hongdae and Itaewon. Both places are popular in Seoul as places where youngsters gather.
3. Apply for visa
This one is a bit tricky. The terms and charge may be vary to countries around the world. In Indonesia I have to pay Rp 540,000 or about 42 USD per September 2016. Please be informed that a single entry visa is required for 90 days only. If you want to visit regularly, apply for multi entry visa.
4. List the itinerary
This is a must. Wasting time just wandering around without having a plan is a big NO. You want to make the trip a meaningful and beautiful one, right? So make details of places to go, things to do, what food to try, kinds of transportation to take, and anything else you wish to do. Spare some time to plan the trip, browse any desired spot to be visited, ask friends and families especially the ones who've been going to that place. But the most important thing, your trip will be your own experience. So pick the places that will suit you well. Reviews help a lot when deciding things.
In this trip, I took with me 1 cabin baggage (maximum 7 kg for AirAsia) and 1 backpack. Here's the list of the things I brought:
- 2 jackets, 3 turtlenecks
- 1 pants, 1 skirt
- Toiletries
- Toy camera, charger, socks, water bottle, medicine
- Mini travel note and a book to read on the plane
On the last day, we went to Dongdaemun Market, a thrift store named Gwanjang Market, and our final stop was Express Bus Terminal Underground Shopping Center where we spent all the last pennies here. Shop for lyfe!
- Fresh air with pretty colors in autumn, visiting parks are very recommended!
- Lots and lots of cute alleys
- So cold! Perfect to wear layered outfit
- Make sure to bring hand and foot cream with you
- Foods are delicious, from street stall to proper restaurant, all is so good!
- Basically Seoul is nestled and surrounded by mountainous and hilly ground, so put on your most comfy shoes to avoid sore and tired foot
- Skin care and beauty shops are everywhere! Prepare your cash and have a blast!
- And the list goes on
