Ivy Stay :: Day 02 :: South Korea Winter Escape Trip 6-15 January 2017

Not until 1 hour, we have arrive at Suwon Station 수원역. Suwon Station 수원역 is the 2nd stop. The 1st stop is Suwon Bus Terminal 수원버스터미널.

We get down in front of Novotel Ambassador Hotel.

Even my friend who stay near Suwon is surprised, because it's usually 1 hours and 40 minutes. We decided to meet up at Guesthouse. He didn't arrive yet.

We  go to our guesthouse first, Ivy Stay. Walk from Suwon Station 수원역, is not until 10 minutes. But because it's our first time, we still looking the best path to go there. That's why I rent wifi, because I need GPS. And we still end up sweating at winter haha..

How to book Ivy Stay at Airbnb, click here.

We go inside the subway from exit 4. And decided to try from exit 7. We come out at exit 7.

From exit 7, just walk straight at the big road, and at the 1st alley, turn left. You will arrive at square with 5-intersection, with a lot of shopping mall, cafe and restaurant. Go to the 2nd alley from the left.

Just walk straight, and when you meet 3-intersection, take the right path. Walk straight until you meet a road.

Cross the road and walk to the left. And at the 1st 3-intersection, turn right. You can see the guest house in there.

There's 2 door in the parking area. Door 1, by stairs, and door 2 by lift.

First, go upstair by Gate 1, leave your luggage downstair near the stairs. And you will see Mr 정진Jungjin or one of the staff at the front desk.

Actually, check-in time is 15:00. And I arrive at guesthouse at 12:00 and we plan to put our luggage here first and check-in later. But Mr Jungjin is so nice, he allowed us to check-in earlier.

After Check-in, then go downstair again, and go upstair by lift from door 2 with our luggage.

The room is nice, really nice and comfortable. You can cook, wash your clothes, and everything is inside the room.

We rest for a while, and wash our faces while eating some snack for breakfast.

KUL-ICN by Airasia X :: Day 02 :: South Korea Winter Escape Trip 6-15 January 2017

At 00:30, we boarding. The flight to Incheon, is a big flight. And from Airasia X Company. The seat arrangement is 3-3-3.

Fortunately, there's 1 vacant seat in my row. So, we use 3 seat for 2 people. We hope we can sleep well at night.

I can't sleep. Maybe because too excited. I just sleep for 1 / 2 hours. Besides, the steward and stewardess always walk around to offer some food and beverages.

At 06:00, I buy some Cammomile hot tea for MYR 4 (about IDR 12.340).

We can see sunrise from the plane.

At 08:45, we landing at Seoul-Incheon International Airport.
The first thing to do is, to buy some snack for breakfast. The CU market, has a long queue. We are at CU for almost 20 minutes. We also top-up our T-Money Card with KRW 20.000.

I just know, that if we buy something from CU market, we can't top up our T-Money Card while buy things. So, you can pay your things using your T-Money, or you can separate the bills. But, mostly, not many staff willing to separate your bills. I suggest, just top up more, to pay the things too if you face this situation.

We also decided to rent wifi router. I have contact 4gwifikorea, and they are available near Gate 7 arrival hall.
We rent the wifi 8 days for KRW 29.250 and can be used until 5 device. The customer service can speak English fluently. You need deposit KRW 100.000 and it will back to you when you return the device.

Then we go to out from Gate 7 and looking for airport limousine bus #4001 to Suwon Station.

And the bus park just right in front of the gate. Just approaching the bus and the driver will help you load your baggage to the bus. And get in, and don't forget to tell the driver where do you want to go, and touch your T-Money card inside the bus. Your T-Money card will reduce KRW 12.000 for the journey to Suwon Station.

We ride the bus at 10:10, and it will take about 1 hour and 40 minutes.

I call one of my friend who work in Korea that we are on the way to Suwon because we will meet up at Ivy Stay.
