There are a lot of ups and downs during the trip. Got lost a few times, got out at a wrong stops and stations many times, but I still think it is worth it to roam the country independently rather than join a tour. Of course there are a few times during the trip that I think I should just join a tour, especially when I was completely lost and couldn't figure out how to read the map. But, eventually we could reach our destination and learnt from it.
Soo.. Here's my recap about my 15 days trip in Korea :)
Okay, not really 15 days, since my flight arrived at 10.30pm on the 13th and the flight home was at 00.30am on the 27th. So, technically only had 14 days >< For detailed review, will post it later :)
13-16 April: Seoul
16-18 April: Busan
18-20 April: Jeju
20-26 April: Seoul
And I did book all the accommodations, flights and train in advance.
