Paul asks…
Should I go to Korea Instead of Bangkok?
Hi guys,
a month ago, I’ve booked air tickets from San Francisco to Seoul, then to Bangkok for Jan 3, 2009. I’m not sure when the political unrest and demonstration at the Bangkok airports will be resolved, so I was thinking maybe my husband and I can just get off in Seoul and enjoy my two weeks in Korea instead of Bangkok. But…what can I do in the dead of winter in Korea for two weeks? Can anyone give me some pointers on where to go, sleep and eat? Would I need to buy loads of thermal wear and big coats and boots? I don’t know anyone in Korea but it might be nice to go after 30 years of leaving the country when I was a kid. Ughh…Choices, choices.
admin answers:
Personally, I’d probably just head out to Bangkok – theres much more to do than here in Korea.
No you don’t need to buy loads of thermal wear – its not that bad. Though you will need a warm winter jacket and a pair of mittens.
The winters here are comparable to Washington or Oregon State, which aren’t that bad. Seoul doesn’t get too much snow during the winter — the streets of downtown usually have no snow because its shoveled off.
Lots of affordable hotels if you stay outside of the downtown core of Seoul. Outside of Seoul you can get hotels from 30,000won – 70,000won, and in Seoul about 60,000won – 200,000won.

There are tonnes of Korean restaurants and fast food (Mc Donalds, Burger King, Lotteria, Subway, etc) restaurants in Seoul — Korean food is very affordable, always fresh and very unique.
As for entertainment and things to do during winter, I’d reccommend:
Lotte World – It is an indoor amusement park, great during the winter. They also have a huge indoor pool with tonnes of slides, and a extra-large ice rink thats warm enough to skate in just a t-shirt.
Seoul Tower – The tram would be the best choice during winter. The view from the tower is AMAZING!
Namdaemun Market – Although it is outdoors, you can get great deals on everything from Korean Souvenirs, to knock-off Louis Vuitton wallets to clothes and toys. Definitely worth seeing.
If you lived in Korea 30 years ago as a kid, then you’ll see quite a change. Korea has changed tremendously within the last 10-15 years. My mom visited Korea 25 years ago and didn’t even recognize it when we moved here a little over a year ago.
Personally I’d probably go to Bangkok, theres a lot more to do there, than here in Korea. Although, Korea is a great country and very beautiful in the winter.
Donald asks…
What airports have you been to and what was the worst (why?) and best?
Buffalo-Niagara International Airport
Toronto Pearson International Airport
Munich Franz Josef Strauss Airport
Nuremberg Airport
Rome Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport
Chicago International O’Hare Airport
Philadelphia International Airport
Des Moines International Airport
San Francisco International Airport
Raleigh-Durham International Airport
Vancouver International Airport
Seoul-Incheon International Airport
Busan-Gimhae International Airport
Vancouver has to be the worst. The customs agents and airport workers act like they’re some how above you and I saw them shouting orders at people who didn’t know where to go. Like “Over there!!” “What are you doing?!?” and rolling their eyes. It was total disorganization and chaos.
The best airport I’ve been in so far has to be the one in Munich there was lots of shops and the workers were really friendly and and stuff was easy to find. Philadelphia and Seoul-Incheon are good ones too.

Worst
Sydney – queues for everyhing. Impolite staff. Standing about. When you emerge into the sun you find there is a huge queue at the taxi rank.
Pisa – so small you can’t get a seat.
Palermo – queues from check-in stretch into the car park. You have to squeeze in to find which queue is the one for your flight.
Paphos – they change the gates 2 or 3 times before they get it right,. There are only 4! On one flight our plane had an engine starting problem and so needed the airport starter truck – the driver had finished work and gone home – 30 miles away and had to be called back.
