hi!
ReplyDeletethere's only 2 buses operating per day? 10:10hrs & 16:10hrs [timing for both to & fro timing?] So which mean i have to catch the 16:10hrs back to damyang bus terminal?
hey hey :)
Deletewhich bus?? if bus from/to damyang bus terminal to chuwolsan cafe that's every 2 hours
hi,
Deletei will be going for a day trip. so i guess i was thinking of going Bamboo forest, Seungil Sikdang and Metasequoia street and Metaprovence. the earliest bus from seoul to damyang is only 8.10am. so i will only be reaching 11plus. the last bus from damyang to seoul is 1700hrs. do you think i have sufficient time? and are those 4 places walkable distance? will bamboo forest take out alot of time?
For bamboo forest and seoungil sikdang is walking distance but metasequoia and metaprovence is quite far but if you want you can take taxi there around 15-20mins. Actually 4 hours is enough but too rush?

ReplyDeleteHi, di jimjilbang kalau cuma mau numpang nginep & mandi bisa gak seh tanpa harus naked pas mau pergi mandi? Ini beneran mandi doank bukan mau berendam atau saunaan. Btw Masa seh kamu pergi sendiri soalnya pic pertama kan lagi mau nyebrang gt :D
ReplyDeletehey ga bisa soalnya kalo area buat mandinya gabung sama tempat sauna dan berendam biasanya kamu ga bisa masuk kalo ga naked. dan itu fotonya jalannya super kosong jd aku taro tripod di pinggir jalan aku nyebrang pura2 nyebrang deh hahaha
