Backpacker Korea ~ Part I

Assalamualaikum.

Since my last entry is about my "will" go holiday, now, we're back and Alhamdulillah it went very well there. My trip was on for 7D 6N and it WINTER yawwww!

By the way, I just wrote this entry or post to help them who plan to go to Korea without using the tour guide! It BACKPAKER's Style!!

Our flight was on 8 am and we reached there around 3.30 pm. After took the luggages, we head to our guesthouse in Itaewon! ( Specifically is Naksapyeong).  After came out from the airport then we need to find the sign of AIRPORT RAILROAD  and follow the sign until we reached the AREX Express Train. But before that, do not forget to buy T- Money card ( just like Touch & Go card ) to make your journey easier.  For me, our destination is Noksapyeong, Itaewon.

Why I chooses to stay in Itaewon????

Itaewon is very convinient for the tourists especially Muslim since there is a Mosque there known as Seoul Central Mosque and a lot of HALAL food!

So, we checked in at the guesthouse around 5.30 pm. and after dropped all the luggages and taking pictures, we straight away head to the one of the famous shopping market which in Myeongdong. It's actually quite near to our guesthouse and it took us 15 minutes to reach there.

How to go to Myeongdong???

1- Taxi

2- Subway
    From Noksapyeong Station ( Line 6 ) to Myeong-dong Station ( Line 4 )
    * Transferred from Line 6 to Line 4 at Samgakji Station
    * Exit Number 6

THE SAME ROUTE USED TO GET BACK TO GUESTHOUSE!!
