SEOUL ITINERARY : DEPARTURE AND FIRST DAY

I would like to share our itinerary. Hehehe...

Activities	Achievement	Tips/Experiences
Arrived ICN	Accomplish	* You need to ride shuttle train to the main terminal building. You’ll find everyone seem likely rushing to somewhere. Please don’t be worried, the shuttle train is available every 5 mins.  *Due to new biometric systems at ICN, you’ll find long queue at the immigration counter. Be patient!!! *Heavy snowfall and extremely cold weather welcoming us to Seoul.
Looking for SPA On Air	Accomplish	From the arrival hall, take the elevator to the B1 if I’m not mistake. Turn right. The front counter staff can speak and understand English.
Take Jumbo Taxi for 6 pax	Accomplish	*First time being passenger, seating at the right of the driver..hehehe..I think the taxi got too many wires but completed with wifi, GPS, credit card reader and so on. Just too many wires for us, Malaysian I think. The driver can speak dan understand light English, no worries. And they got wireless in the car for free. Hahaha..Amazed..
Namsan Guesthouse	Stay there for 3 days	Don’t expect the taxi driver know every guesthouse in the Seoul. Write down their address and telephone number at something like paper, so you don’t need to worry if your high-tech smart phone, tablets or whatsoever run out of the batteries. And better, to print out the maps.
DAY 1
Nami Island	Accomplish	*You’ll meet many Malaysian visit this small island. You may experiences some of their staff greeting you in Malay if they know you’re from Malaysia.
Seoul National Mosque	Failed	The rombongan Cik Kiah just too tired to continued the journey + they missssssed Ondol floor at Namsan Guesthouse soooooo much.
N Seoul Tower	Failed on 1st day Accomplish on 2nd day	* Since that we’re staying at Namsan Guesthouse 1, the cable car just around the corner * By foot – go straight after Namsan Guesthouse 1 – you can take left or right side. We take a right side then left side. You’ll find a stair to go to the cable car (its hidden and we found this by accident actually, but nice view from here) * If you planning to go here at night, make sure to bring your tripod. The view really amazing on winter, just imagine how great is that on spring or autumn.
Myeongdong Namdaemun	Failed on 1st day Accomplish on 2nd day onwards	*Encourage you to come to Myeongdong at night. It more vibrant and really busy on night ( it just look like ordinary place on the daytime) – shopping really hectic here, cosmetics products so attempting; so don’t missed a chances to enjoy windows shopping and collect free samples and gift..hehe *No such thing of  Myeongdong Market here. It was a huge shoplot. *Tourist info can be found at the junction of Woori Bank. They will be standing in the centre of road and wearing red coat (their appearance may vary depend on seasons) *Well, I think Namdaemun is one of the Malaysian shopper paradises. Evidence? They greet you with ‘Apa khabar’?? Nice kan..^^..One of seller approach by say ‘ From Malaysia..brooch..brooch..” Maybe he knows from my tudung or my looks really look Malaysian..HOHOHO!! *They have Myeongdong and Namdaemun Underground Shopping Centre - really warm here, quite reasonable price but limited choices. Choose another season if you like to shop until drop at Seoul (you can shop until drop actually, if you don't mind about freezing cold weather)
