Alright, peoples, here’s where I’m tapping the collective wisdom of the interwebal series of tubes.<\/p>\n
I’m off to Korea on Saturday and will be there until Sunday, April 29. I’ll be mainly in Seoul, but will also be traveling to Daejeon and Busan.<\/p>\n
What are things that I can’t miss while I’m there? What should I make sure to do\/eat\/see? <\/p>\n
Logistics:<\/p>\n
Mobile phone: I’m thinking about renting a cell phone<\/a>, when I get to the airport. But then again, I might borrow one from Karla<\/a>. I’ve also heard you can buy one for cheap in the electronics market, although that’s hard to do if you don’t speak Korean.<\/p>\n WiFi: I found this page<\/a> that suggests buying a Nespot prepaid card at the KT plaza at Incheon International Airport. 12,000 won gets you 24 hours of unlimited access. <\/p>\n Sites:<\/p>\n Noah<\/a> suggested the Haeinsa Temple<\/a>. <\/p>\n The USO DMZ Tour<\/a> sounds weird and potentially a lot of fun, albeit touristy (for Americans).<\/p>\n Activities:<\/p>\n I also want to see some Korean baseball, and found a schedule here<\/a>. I IMed with Dan, the guy who posted it and he suggested that I catch Doosan vs. SK at Jamshil Stadium from April 13-15 and Lotte vs. Hyundai in Busan and Hanwha vs. LG in Daejeon on the 24th. Dan also said I can buy hats at the stadiums, or from this site<\/a> directly.<\/p>\n
