Hi. Thanks for this blog. It'very helpful
ReplyDeleteI would like to know a few things
1) How early does lotte world open and is a halfday trip enough?
2)can i have the email of the hotel you stayed at?
Thanks
Hi, 143sunshine! You're welcome! Glad I could help!
ReplyDeleteI think Lotte World opens at 10am. Half day trip is not enough if you want to try all rides. We were there for only half a day and only got to try some rides because lines were long.
I no longer have the email of Toyoko Inn but you can just google it.
Good luck and happy trip!
Hi. I find your Korean trip very informative. My husband and I together with 5 other friends from Bulacan will be travelling to Korea on October 15 - 19, 2014. This should be a budget friendly and DIY travel. We are already booked at a guesthouse in Myeong Dong. I would like to know if you got a packaged tour in Korea to visit all the spots you visited or simply made it your way
ReplyDeleteHi, Nancy! That's great! We did not do a packaged tour. We planned it ourselves. Kaya niyo din yan! Happy trip!
