And we don't even like Korean food. Kimchi sucks. So we have not visited Korea and we finally decided to take the plunge because just try new place lor!
Ok, I think we were also influenced by Running Man. I have never used to watch it but it has become our Friday and Saturday night entertainment since we moved into our place.
And what a surprise, we enjoyed Korea more than we thought we would. I think the road trip helps- as long as Dear can self-drive, he is happy. We discovered that we do like Korea food and had a good time eating. Kimchi does not suck, in fact it tastes good in Korea. It is so weird that for someone who disliked Korean food, it is a cuisine that I am learning for weekday dinners because it is faster and simpler than Chinese food.
Our logistics details:
Internal flight to Jeju by Eastar: $307.40 for two pax
SQ flight: $764 per pax
Art House: $102.76 per night
IRO Pension: $133.24 per night
Metro Hotel Myeongdong: $160 per night
Jeju
Our first three days were spent in Jeju. Right after we touched down, we picked up our rental car and zoom off to have lunch. Lunch was of course black pig Korean BBQ! Yums!
Little rant: Our internal flight was delayed both ways. Really sian. But it seems common, a lot of the other budget airlines had delays too.
We went back to Seoul on our third day. We visited the Namsan tower and had Korean curry pork cutlet for dinner. The next few days were us shopping and visiting the castle (where there are still beautiful autumn leaves, yeah!).
The best part of our time in the city was the day trip into the DMZ area where we got to walk down a tunnel built by the North Koreans in their attempt to enter Seoul. Super eye-opening and once in a life time experience.
We also vsited Haha's BBQ restaurant for our dinner on the last night, but sadly, it was average only leh :(
