JOG-KUL by Airasia :: Day 01 :: South Korea Winter Escape Trip 6-15 January 2017

The Winter Escape Trip start today.

Vivi go from her hometown, Ngadirejo at 10:30. And arrive at Magelang at 11:30. Her driver will do the something first, and then we will depart to Yogyakarta.

At 12:30, the driver is already finished to pray and then we depart. We eat lunch at Ny Daryati Fried Chicken at Blabak.

Then we go to Adisucipto International Airport Yogyakarta. Airasia located at Terminal B (new). If you want to park here, you have to pay for IDR 30.000. But if you only drop the passenger, drop fee is IDR 4.000.

We arrive there at 15:00. And then drop our baggage, and go to the waiting room.
We killing time by talk and plan what to do tomorrow.

Then at 16:30, the immigration is open. We pass the immigration procedure, and waiting for boarding.

At 17:10, we are boarding. And then at 17:30, the plane take off to Kuala Lumpur.

At 20:45, we arrive at KLIA2. After pass the imigration and take our baggage, we go to 3rd floor to check-in again (arrival gate is at 2nd floor). After drop our baggage, we go to 2M floor, to drink some hot tea to calm ourselves. There's a kopitiam area in there.

I bought Hot Tea-O for MYR 2,7.

Then we go to the waiting room. The weather in Korea will be less than 10 degree celcius. And the weather at Kuala Lumpur, is about 28 degree celcius. So we need to wear some extra clothes before depart.

After wear some extra clothes and take some water (there's free water inside the waiting room), we wait for boarding.

Pick up Our Visa and Passport :: South Korea Winter Escape Trip 6-15 January 2017

The travel agent call us today, and tell that the visa has been approved and we can take our passport. So, I go there in the afternoon to take the passport.

Now, time to waiting, prepare the itinery, and our luggage.

Actually, this time, I didn't make special itinery. I just collect information about attraction place that I haven't visited yet, and keep it. Me and Vivi (my friend), will decide where to go H-1.

And because I go on Winter, I need to check weather forecast everyday, so I will not get wrong place in the wrong weather.

Acommodation :: South Korea Winter Escape Trip 6-15 January 2017

Because we need to apply visa, and one of the requirement is we already have accomodation, so we decided to apply via Airbnb.

Actually, the travel agent that I ask to help us apply for visa, offer us to help in accomodation matters. They can help us book for a while of accomodation, and we didn't have to stay there. It's only for visa applying.

But, me and my friends decided to confirmed it.

We plan to stay at Suwon 2 nights, and the rest in Seoul (5 nights).

At Suwon, we decided to stay at Ivy Stay.
(You can also book via agoda / booking.com, they all offered the room in there but the price is a more expensive).

I got room for 2 night, for USD$ 81 (or IDR 1.074.679) for 2 people,
so we spend IDR 537.339,5/person. (IDR 268.669,75/night/person)

Ivy Stay is near Suwon Station, walking distance only 7 minutes from exit 8 Suwon Station. And it's convenient to go to Paldal-gu and Korean Folk Village.

At Seoul, we stay at 10th Guesthouse, near Gongdeok Station. The Guesthouse located right in front of exit 10 of Gongdeok Station. So we didn't need to pull our luggage too far. We decided to stay in the center, near Seoul Station (only 1 stop from Geongdeok station), and also Geongdeok Station is one of station that passed by Airport Train.

I got room for 5 nights, for USD$ 199 (or IDR 2.689.112) for 2 people,
so we spend IDR 1.334.556/person (IDR 266.911,2/night/person)

So, for the accomodation, 7 nights, we spend IDR 1.871.895,5/person.
(IDR 267.413,65/night/person)

PS: At Airbnb, we can set the price into IDR. But remember, when you check-out, your credit card will be charge by USD (and based on Currency Exchange when the transaction date is written in your credit card statement -- not by the date when you do the transaction). So, maybe the IDR price is different with what you see when you confirmed the reservation. But the difference is not too much.
