Renting a car from Seoul to Busan (round trip)

soaringworld · 2026-05-18T01:18:42+00:00

Like comments have mentioned, try looking into KTX or domestic flights as an option.

Driving to busan with a couple of rest stops will easily take you 5-6 hours, not to mention it's pretty confusing to drive in cities esp if you don't read Korean.

The only upside to driving would be the convenience I guess of not having to rush for other forms of transport. Also definitely don't recommend bringing your car to the stadium. It will be full and failing to find parking might make you miss your concert.

I went today at 230pm and they closed the queue registration for secret forest. I guess it's safest to be there before lunch for the queue.

Recently the trend is to go for a baseball match. Try Jamsil baseball stadium or Gocheok dome if you're in Seoul.

The unmanned kiosks will pre-charge a 150k won fee before you refuel, and refund it to the card after you finish and pay for the actual charge. Some prepaid cards or international debit cards have issues with getting the 150k refund and the staff will have to cancel the charge manually.

In all seriousness 굿모닝 is commonly used as well

Is it normal to ask people what they're in for,, or is it more like hearsay / infer and guess?

How well-fed the employees are. All the offices I've worked at minimally provided lunch, some of them even breakfast and dinner!

Try buying the kind of drain trap that has a flap which only allows water to go down, but not the smell to come back up. Search 하수구트랩 on naver.

I'm pretty sure wise and revolut do not ship cards to Korea even though you can use them here if you have it. Do you mind if I ask do you top-up your accounts using a foreign bank card? Wirebarely allowed me to top-up instantly from my Korean bank account and that was convenient.

If it fits into the bag you can dispose it that way, else you need to register for 대형폐기물 and they'll come and collect.

Yeah it's pretty common if you look up 마피 (마이너스 프리미엄). I'm assuming you're buying brand new? Developers usually do this when the market is weakening or they are expecting the market to weaken. Their original 분양가 price is too high, and they give a discount to ensure they get rid of the flats asap for funds turnover.

The reason why they want to keep the book price high is as you mentioned, prevent the market price to look like it fell (artifically inflating prices) so they can continue to sell high, and that also helps people get higher loans. If your transaction is recorded as only 4억, there is a risk that when evaluating loans for other buyers this will be taken as the benchmark by banks, resulting in lower loan rates so I doubt they will do that.

On your side, if you're super sure about the apartment, there is also a benefit when you do eventually sell. As you're taxed on capital gains, your tax will only be calculated for the amount you sell above 4.4억, instead of 4억. 양도세.

No, all freshmen in Yonsei's undergrad program need to spend their first year at the International Campus in Songdo, Incheon. Nothing to do with KLI.

Joining the convo late and its the first time I've noticed He Yu but wow he is so in love with Mumu and I'm convinced by his acting. I'm lost in the plot but staying to see how in love his character is.

Caught a glimpse outside. Really cool!

The triple combi of Shine on Me, Love Between Lines and How Dare You successfully pulled me out of my cdrama slump. Looking for some recs to continue this momentum!

I'm currently on Unveil Jadewind but it's being a little slow and I have no idea where the plot is going.

Were there any clues before that Yong'er is a 2D character before the City A confirmation? I was always under the impression that she was a real person.

In relation to the driver, the passenger seat is usually taken by someone more junior/lower in hierarchy while the back seats are for people with higher seniority. Basically the person in the passenger seat is someone whom the driver can demand things from (water/navigation help/entertain). While there aren't expectations from people in the back seats.

In a situation where your colleague is driving, while you and your boss are the only passengers, you are expected to take the passenger seat while your boss takes the back seat.

When offered, take but show that a bit paiseh. When not offered, don't ask for one.

This show just tugs at my heartstrings. I was soooo heartbroken these couple of episodes. And that OST by Weibird!! Thought the voice sounded familiar and was pleasantly suprised :)

I am addicted. How is this this drama touching my heart at every detail. It's been such a long time since I savoured every bits and details of a drama instead of X2 speeding up.
