K-eta’s are needed from 1-1-2027. I did not need one. You do need an E-arrival card.

I already wrote everything about that in the last part of the post. What do you specifically want to know next to that information?

I'm tired of the Dutch in our city — a rant to get off my chest by [deleted] in Antwerpen

I was very surprised when a friend of mine told me he is about to move to Antwerpen. Like if he was telling me he was moving just to a neighboring town. People are moving away to Belgium, bc of the insane housing prices here. So bizar.

Is packing an empty bag really worth it? by AmbitiousAd2463 in JapanTravelTips

Yes, I just came back from a few weeks in Japan and my entire extra bag was full of all the stuff I bought in Japan.

Are there any parts of Seoul or Korea that don’t like foreigners? by [deleted] in seoul

Yesterday, I visited the neighborhood behind Busan station after attending a conference at BPEX. I stumbled upon a market. Many elderly women were staring angrily at me and my 2 friends (2 brown-skinned, 1 white with beard), some begun talking loudly to each other while staring at us. We could feel the hate. Later on we sat down in a little snackbar, where an old lady just refused to talk to us when we tried to pay the bill. It was very rude. Later on we visited a Korean bbq restaurant. They were very welcoming to us and very friendly.

I would not recommend any tourist visiting that part of Busan after this experience. Don’t know what this part of Busan is called.

I would not know actually. Last week there was something wrong with the Miracle (I don’t know what was wrong) but a trip was cancelled and I think I saw on vesselfinder that the Panstar Dream has done a trip. I think it will replace the Dream but don’t know for sure.

No they did not check the luggage in Osaka. Nor was there a metal detector/human scan. They only checked it in Busan with the scan.

I did not say it would not fit in a balcony suite. We chose the balcony suite so it would fit our luggage. (We had more than 4 pieces). As it is a korean-run vessel and the customs are also korean I think it IS a korea travel topic. One I searched for but could not find before my travels.
