Places I’d like to go:

  • Gangneung
  • Sokcho
  • Hadong
  • Hallasan

How to get around:

  • fly to Seoul or Busan. Jeju is well-connected to the mainland by air and sea .
  • there are high speed trains running frequently between main cities. Highway busses are a cheaper alternative.
  • In the cities, use metro or buses: Kakao Map provides up-to-date information. (Google Maps doesn’t work well)
  • Use Kakao Talk to communicate with new friends and small businesses.
