The Korail Pass is very convenient and worthy of its price! Definitely a must-buy when you plan to go to Busan or other areas outside Seoul. We used it to go to Busan and then Pohang. You can reserved seats already ahead via their website or just go to the ktx stations ticketing office and they can reserve them for you. There were instances when we arrived way early than the train schedule we booked and we just asked for assistance at the ticketing booth if they can reschedule to earlier ones available and they did! We're grateful because we were able to save so much time! Just show them the tickets and korail pass voucher then they will check and explain to you the available schedules you can choose.

It is recommended that friends who are not familiar with Seoul take the train to learn about the neighborhoods near Gwanghwamun! The tour guide is very funny, the breeze is comfortable, and it’s fun to say hello to passers-by along the way!

Olive Young's products can be purchased at lower prices. It's quite cost-effective. The store clerk may be a little confused when using it, but there's no problem in using it.

Met the photographer Juhyun at the gate of the palace and she was on time. she was professional in guiding us on the pose for the photo taking and very patient despite our son not being cooperative during shooting. She sent us the photos(683 photos!) which are edited in abt 1 week’s time! Very nicely taken for most of the photos!

The performance was superb, from stage design, costumes to lighting and props… The venue was a small one, the team was a small team but because of this, it gave a “secret party” vibe and the ambiance was very good. I watched the same performance in an other country with a much larger venue, it didn’t give off the same vibe as in Korea. Just enjoy the little “cabaret show” and make your trip memorable.

There are autumn leaves to see, well worth a visit! In addition to viewing the scenery, there are also projection lights to play! You can also buy a drink and enjoy the night view while sitting.
