What to do when you don't know Korean to travel to Korea
I've been there and I'm pretty sure you don't need to!

I was in Seoul self-guided tours, a Seoul subway map and a sentence in Korean "how much" to ensure that you can not know the Korean language in Korea.

Posted below a paragraph I wrote my own free travel guide to Korea, I hope to help you.

Transportation, after arriving at the airport in Korea, you can take a bus to the city or take the airport high-speed rail for the Korean subway, or do a cab.

Suggested two things you can do after arriving at the airport:

One, if you stay for a long time and want to contact with your family, you can borrow a cell phone from the airport counter. Chinese cell phones can't be used in Korea, and there is a special cell phone lending counter at the airport in Korea, but you need to pay with a credit card, which is quite convenient anyway.

Two, must be sure to go to the airport counter to get a map, and it is best to take the Japanese map, the Japanese map of the subway road map, larger and clearer, remember, traveling in Seoul, the subway is the most important tool for travel, there is no subway map there is no way to play. I remember the map is placed in the airport is facing the door direction of the leftmost exit, seems to be the 2nd exit, specific do not remember, you find yourself.

Then how to go to the city, just above has said, bus, high speed rail or cab. I went by the airport high-speed rail, you can buy a ticket to go in, high-speed rail is one stop or two stops, anyway, sit to the last stop, from Incheon Airport to Gimpo Airport, and then change the subway, right into the airport high-speed rail in a convenience store to buy a transportation card (T-Money), remember to buy a transportation card, and then recharge, because South Korea rely on the subway to get around, there is no transportation card is very inconvenient, and some of them a little bit off! Some of the more remote subway stations are not manually ticketed. I went to four days and three nights with more than 20,000 won of transportation, you can first in the convenience store to charge a little, not enough to find the convenience store recharge, the card can be refunded, but it takes 10 days, so it is recommended that you use as much as how much to charge.

The bus I have not traveled so I am not sure, the subway in Korea has numbers at each stop, so you do not have to be afraid of not understanding the name of the station, and you do not have to be afraid to sit in the wrong direction or sit through the station. Then give a tip, South Korea's subway station dug very deep, if you want to turn the subway line, be prepared to climb the mountain. No one will eat in the subway, and don't sit in the old, weak, sick or disabled seats because there is no one to sit in Korea except the elderly!

Taxi, I think the price and Shanghai is about the same, I do not know and your home there, how much difference, South Korea cab three colors, white, silver and black, black is the best, South Korea, said the model cab, but I asked a friend in South Korea, in the end, what is the difference, my friend told me is the difference in price. Black starting fee and price per kilometer are quite expensive than white and silver. Unless you're taking it in the middle of the night or going to a very far suburb, it's not recommended to take the black one.

Change of money:

Change of money, I suggest that you change in the Bank of China first two or three hundred, enough for you to South Korea with the fare on the line, the main money or to South Korea to change, South Korea's change of money is called the two alternatives, a lot of places, the scenic area of the exchange rate is not too high, it is recommended that you ask more than two, which the exchange rate of which the exchange rate of which the change of which the high rate of which there should be a guide on the Internet to say that the two alternatives to the exchange rate of the high rate of which you yourself! I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that. I went, on the way to the Nanshan Tower encountered a two alternative exchange rate is quite high.

Living:

I don't think you have to book a hotel or anything, there are many private hotels in the city on the side streets, which are cheap and good, and the security in South Korea is quite good, I don't think you have to worry about it, you can check the internet yourself. But I suggest you must book a hotel in the city, I last time I booked in the suburbs, every day just in the subway time is very long.

Shopping:

Girls like to buy things, Korea's cosmetics are very cheap, the main push to go to Myeongdong where cosmetics, every store has Chinese, not afraid of miscommunication. My suggestion is to sell more paper masks, super cheap. Other things you see this office, anyway, are very cheap, whether it is skin care products or cosmetics. Brand-wise, I can't remember all of a sudden, so if you have questions short me again.

As for the attractions, those Korean historical aspects of the attractions I almost did not go, I do not recommend, but Namsan Tower, Myeongdong, Cheonggyecheon and Lotte World is a strong push.

Namsan Tower has a wall of lovers and a teddy bear house, but they open at 10:00 a.m., so don't go too early. But the road to the Namsan Tower for the cable car is steep, so be prepared to climb.

Myeongdong is a must-visit place for fashionable shopping in Korea.

Lotte is Korea's largest inner-city amusement park, it's a lot of fun, and down there is the ice rink that is often featured in Korean dramas. Lotte suggests you go at night, I think there is a 50% discount on tickets after 7:30, and there is also a float parade. Bought tickets to go in, in addition to 3-5 very exciting big item is required to buy another ticket, the other are available with tickets directly play, such as pirate ships and so on. And at night inside the night lights are very beautiful. Some people suggest that Lotte to play all day, but I think, unless you want to play another paid item, or night to go enough. The items that are paid for separately are very, very exciting, but the lines are also very, very long.

Cheonggyecheon is good for going at night, the lights are very pretty, sitting by the stream is quite romantic, suitable for couples.

ps: shopping and south gate and north gate, south gate is to buy specialties, I think there is nothing to buy, just ginseng kimchi, seaweed pomelo tea, and good and bad mixed, if you want to buy, to be well picked, where people will be foreigners because you are a foreigner, the price is high. North Gate to buy clothes, very late to open, and open all night, want to buy clothes can go to see.

Diet:

I have nothing to recommend in this regard, Korean food is very spicy, seafood is very fishy, my friend once in a store in Myeongdong ordered ginseng chicken soup, the result of the up, the bowl as big as a basin, which is a whole chicken, chicken, chicken, and stuffed with a lot of glutinous rice, eaten to death. But most of them are still normal. In Korea or must eat Korean barbecue, I remember a street near the Cheonggyecheon night many many restaurants.

Lastly, a few tips:

1, Koreans like the nightlife, the street is brightly lit after 12:00 p.m. and many people in the car, we once went to eat barbecue, is eleven o'clock to eat, where there is a lot of activity to the point of no.

2, the Korean people like nightlife, the street is brightly lit after 12:00 p.m. and many people in the car.

2, do not have to get up too early in the day, many attractions, shopping streets are open after ten o'clock, to go early there is no one.

3, during the day, the street car no handsome women, to see handsome women recommended night out.

4, go to South Korea, there is a sentence must be, that is, "how much money", a sentence hit all of South Korea!

5, Ewha Womans University neighborhood is quite beautiful, things are quite fashionable, is a little expensive.

6, Korea's coffee shops and donut stores are also very cheap, you can go to eat, but most of them have to collect their own plate, put the store to develop a place.

7, South Korea does not have counterfeit money, you can rest assured that the exchange of money.

8, Korea is very few thieves, go to the coffee shop to sit, see a lot of people are directly put the bag on the chair to go buy things.

9, South Korea's department stores are old women shopping, department stores on the restaurant almost see not see young girls, and items without price tags!
