Winnie Tan: Hi Ziling. When would we be able to confirm the dates? I'm ok with 17-26 Nov 2017. Please let us know so that we can block out the dates and apply for leave. :)

Ziling: It will be 17-26 Nov 2017

Oct 26, 2017 4:11:18 PM

Ziling: It is free and easy. apart from air tickets and accomodation, the only fees to incur will be access pass to attractions (e.g. palace) or some land tour (e.g. Nami Island or DMZ). Other costs will depend on how much you eat, or buy, and public transport e.g. train or bus

Oct 26, 2017 4:12:46 PM

Ziling: Oh yes, accomodation is on your own as well. But it is not expensive.

Ziling: By the way, I am looking at more of a travel buddy concept rather than really organizing a guided tour.

Oct 26, 2017 5:43:43 PM

Ziling: So I can share my itinerary and we can try to work out those places where we have interest and visit together. And if not interested, can wonder off to other places and meet back again if you feel like it.

Oct 26, 2017 5:44:05 PM

Ziling: Travel buddy concept for me is that you can get to try more food together (one portion to share), and make new friends and help each other take nice pictures, and look out for each other. And everything is own time own target, no rush no obligations, if you don't like certain itinerary, you can always break away and we can arrange to meet back a certain area if you like it. For instance, if you like a full day shopping while I am not interested in shopping whole day, I will probably shop half a day and then find a nice cafe to chill or eat. Or maybe you like shoipping for clothes but I prefer shopping cosmetics then you can look at your clothes while I target cosmetics.

L Yap: Understand. It has been more than 10 years ago I went to Seoul. I just like to experience Seoul in Autumn

Oct 26, 2017 5:47:50 PM

Ziling: I also wanted to experience autumn. The leaves according to my friends will start end Oct till mid Nov, then slowly leaves will fall off and by December quite botak. My friend say mid Nov still have but not the full bloom leow.

Beaches, ice creams, short pants… It’s finally time to bid the long scorching summer goodbye and welcome the chilly fall weather with open arms. Famous author Jim Bishop once said, “Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons”. In contrast to the lush green grass and fragrant flowers of Spring, Autumn presents us with stunning shades of red, orange, and yellow. Autumn brings with her a splendid palette of rich browns, blazing reds and yellows to dress up even the most ordinary pavements. Whether you’re a city slicker or one for nature, an Autumn trip is the best time to visit Korea, and be mesmerized by the kaleidoscope of fallen leaves.

Throughout October and November, you can feast your eyes on lush mountains dyed with scarlet-tinged leaves in breathtaking destinations in South Korea. These sights all offer spectacular foliage scenes and worthwhile hiking experiences. So get up, grab your camera and prepare to immerse yourself in the beauty of Autumn! For K-drama fans, the romantic nature of autumn in Korea might just inspire you to travel to Korea in November or December to reenact scenes in your favourite dramas.
