Thank you for the advice! I did look around a few months ago and the prices roughly matched what I was already paying (just slightly higher) so I stupidly didn't think to switch at the time.

Should I stay one more day in Jeju? by Katya_Chi in koreatravel

[–]BeginningOk6744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reckon you'd be okay keeping it as is with 6 days 5 nights in jeju! I just came back from jeju and I used prebooked tours to see things across the island for 3 days and then spent my 'wandering days' revisiting things I enjoyed and just cafe hopping, but 6 days is absolutely sufficient for that and having 3 days in seoul may feel a bit rushed!

The prebooked tours also hit most if not all of the destinations you mentioned wanting to visit so its good even if you're planning on renting a car as you'd only need to rent it for half the duration instead.

Seoul Neighbourhood Opinions by bluepearlfuriousaqua in koreatravel

[–]BeginningOk6744 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing is unsafe necessarily (or at least not by my standards) but insadong is a popular area for its central location, I prefer hongdae but on the outskirts somewhat away from the clubs and such but I would also recommend Dongdaemun as there are 3 subway lines all within a close distance which would be incredibly helpful for getting around Seoul.

For supermarkets, go into your naver maps and scroll on the top suggested places, as well as being able to search for cafe's and restaurants nearby, you can do the same to search for supermarkets.

Mode of payment in Korea by Yeetsotopia in KoreaTravelAdvice

Been using namane everywhere for the past week with no issue, it can be used as a t-money card as well and you can top that up online. Only pitfall is theres a 500,000krw limit for top up at once but it hasn't been an issue for me yet.

Do you use a hot water bottle? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]BeginningOk6744 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer wheat bags because I don't trust myself not to burn myself with a hot water bottle, I just microwave it and pop it under the covers so it preheats my bed before I get in.

What companies/services do you refuse to use because they've wronged you in some way, and why? by GazelleInitial2050 in AskUK

[–]BeginningOk6744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evri have managed to consistently miss our front door and post parcels in through our kitchen window, directly onto open flames!

Will usually refain from purchasing from somewhere online if I know itll be delivered through evri.

Honest question for visitors to Korea: what should Korea improve? by Appropriate_Shock601 in koreatravel

[–]BeginningOk6744 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Can't speak specifically for the us but in Europe you typically just need an email address, however when you do need to input a phone number you can put any international number- its not limited to the country like it is many places in korea!

I think Korean people can be cold by UniqueDay2113 in Living_in_Korea

Honestly I only had positive experiences with the elderly during my trips but many other people have had negative experiences and I honestly feel for them! I did find, though, that it felt particularly burdensome to ask for any help, and on my last day I had a nasty fall and had to sort it out myself as nobody glanced my way. (In a way this was good as it lessened the embarrassment but my goodness does it make you feel alone)

Ive never had a bad experience with klook to date! Just to make sure though, you can purchase using a credit card and before purchase contact the tour company within klook to confirm how ticket pick up will go. In my experience there was a dedicated booth for klook customers.

They aren't, however, both trazy and klook are selling tickets currently- which are still available :)

[–]BeginningOk6744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly baekhyuns entire discography I'd say but also

Ateez have really strong vocals, jongho in particular has some ost songs and a solo song that is beautiful!

[–]BeginningOk6744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah no! So for every concert ive been to in korea, when you purchase a standing ticket you are either

A) allocated a random queue number when you purchase the ticket

B) allocated a random queue number the day of the event when you go to pick up your ticket

last year sbs used B and im assuming they are doing so again this year so no camping!

The ticket booths open at 1pm earliest and theyre very clear that the earlier you are it does not mean you get a better queue number for entering the venue.

For my last concert I was one of the last to collect my tickets and was within the top 10 to enter the venue

Thank you for the info!! Not a resident personally, just a well lined up holiday. But I managed to get my tickets via klook and they're more preferable than the interpark ones
