[S-Train] - Scenic Southtern Explorer

Back on Track!!! 

Thanks to Korail for building railways and designed themed-trains routes that run across beautiful Korean peninsula.

S-train added to theme-train family in September 2013. This train runs slowly on S-shaped route along Southern region with scenic sea view, therefore it's named S-Train.

Let's travel to the South with Korail S-Train

 "Turtle ship" S-train looks like vintage locomotive.

Perhaps because of S-train travel to Yeosu, therefore Felix Boukobza (the same art-train designer for O-train) painted it resembled to Turtle ship (거북선 = Geobukseon) to tribute Great Admiral Yi Sun Shin.

Our initial S-train route (Masan to Gwangju) for easy checking 

on the train timetable and transfer.

 S-train Timetable 

S-Train operates two routes that running once a day: 

1. East - West route covering 250 km in 4 hours.
    ~ Train No 4871, depart from Busan at 9:19 am and arrive in Yeosu at 13:04 pm
    ~ Train No 4872, depart from Yeosu at 18:05 pm and arrive in Busan at 21:51 pm

2. West - East route covering 212 km in 5 hours 30 minutes.
    ~ Train No 4873, depart from Seodaejeon at 9:37 am and arrive in Gwangju at 14:58 pm
    ~ Train No 4874, depart from Gwangju at 16:38 pm and arrive in Seodaejeon at 21:27

This slow-speed train lets you experience the best of the Southern regions passing through picturesque mountains, seas, valleys, and countrysides.

The train can carry 218 passengers in it's five carriages, and designed with different interiors and special themes on each carriage.

 

We're sitting at 'family' carriage

Enjoy Korean traditional tea drinking with fragrant tea produced from 

Boseong and Hadong at this unique 'tea' carriage.

Snacks and drinks are available at 'bar' Carriage.

That's the reason why I love to travel by train! It allows you to sit back, relax, and enjoying the view. Buy tidbits and eat or drink whenever you want, as you can go to restroom anytime as you're free to walk around at all time ^^ 

Awesome! You can recharge your handphone,

and hang your coat at your seat. 

Where did we put our 2 big luggage? Yes, for sure they're unable to fit on overhead compartment. We put them at the luggage compartment between two carriages. 

Ok, this video will show you interior inside S-train, and up close and personal with the beauty of Southern Namhae Coast!

to be continued... ^^

Busan Station (부산역)

A taxi ride from Haeundae Hotel For U to Busan station took about half and hour. We arrived at Busan station one hour earlier so we have time to eat breakfast before starting our journey to South.

The morning sunshine at Busan Station.

부산광역시 동구 중앙대로 206 (초량동)

Busy ticket counters and train schedules at Busan station.

We didn't need to join the queue as we had bought our tickets together with O-train tickets at Seoul Station. Yes, it's better to purchase your ticket few days in advance. This is to avoid that ticket sold out on the day you want to travel. That happened to us... we didn't get V-train ticket as these theme-trains are really popular.

Busan has a big station because it's a major stop on all Gyeongbu line express trains (KTX) and general trains. It also has a lot of convenience facilities inside the station, such as restaurants, convenience stores, bakeries, coffee shops, and others shops, ATMs, storage lockers, Korail member lounge, vending machines.

Busan Station Store directory

 It's really convenient as lots of shops sprawled all around! We're really spoiled by choices and hard to make decision on what to eat. 

Hunting food inside this clean Busan station...

Hubby selected  soft tofu stew (순두부찌개 = sundubu jiggae)

Well, I don't have habit to eat rice or noodle for breakfast. I normally have bread, cake, biscuit, cereal and milk for breakfast. 'Picky' me still wandering outside to see what will go inside the tummy to start my day :P

Finally decided to get this Yeongju  Sweet Potato Bread (고구마빵 = Kokumappang).

Then went to convenience store to get banana milk, bottle drinks and some snacks to eat in train....

Chinatown also known as Shanghai Street (상해문 - 상해거리) 

located opposite Busan Station. You can walk through the 

underground passage to reach the street.

Make sure you're standby in front of the track at least 5 minutes 

before departure time as the trains are really punctual!

Ok, let's go to Track no. 1 for S-Train~! 

12 hours in Busan

Our initial itinerary was from Yeongju -> Andong -> Geongju -> Masan (S-Train). I arranged that we can stop at Busan again to meet Oppa and his family. On our first trip here, we only spent  because we only spent 1 day and it's really not enough to explore this second largest city in Korea.

So sad that we're unable to meet Oppa and his family this time round due to unexpected additional visit to Buseoksa Temple in Yeongju.

From Busan bus terminal to hotel in Haeundae area took about half hour by taxi. By the time we reahed hotel was around 9:00 pm. S-train from Busan to Suncheon will leave at 9:19 am the next morning. Yes, we only have 12 hours in Busan! ㅠㅠ

We were so hungry, so after checked in the hotel, we quickly went for food hunting...

Lively Haeundae area even in cold weather at night!

We didn't bring map, just try our luck to see what we can have around the hotel. We walked around and saw a line of round signboards and a lot of people walking around that area. Then, we walked towards and crossed the road to take a closer look. According to Visit Korea website, this traditional market open from 09:00 am  to 22:00 pm. No wonder it's still busy as most of the stalls still open. 

It's Haeundae Market (부산 해운대시장).

부산광역시 해운대구 구남로41번길 22-1

According to Visit Korea website, Haeundae traditional market open from 09:00 am  to 22:00 pm. It explained why it's still busy at that hour.

and pojangmacha stalls gathered most of the crowds...

Pojangmacha (포장마차) 

We also wanted to have a quick bite rather than full meal. Especially when you see so many people standing to eat hot odeng that seemed so delicious really tempted us a lot. We quickly joined the crowds when we saw this pochangmacha have variety of popular street foods! They have yummy tteokbokki (떡볶이), twigim (튀김), mini gimbap (꼬마 김밥),  sundae (순대), odeng (오뎅),  soju (소주), makgeolli (막걸리), maekju (맥주), eumryosu (음료수). 

On top of those serve on the cart, you can also order ramyeon (라면), dalkbal (닭발), dalgttongjib (닭똥집), buchimgae (부침개), rabokki (라볶이), mikkulaji twigim (미꾸라지튀김),... 

We ordered pajeon, tteokbokki, twigim, mini gimbap and odeng.

After had our 'supper' we went back to hotel as we're so tired. We need to wake up early the next morning to go to Busan station.

Haeundae For U Hotel

Add: 636-3 ,Woodong, Haeundae-gu, Busan

This hotel is actually (love) hotel too. Well, this was not our first time staying in love motel. Haeundae area has a lot of love motels. We stayed in Wa Motel on our previous trip. We booked through Agoda too this time round. 

The room has simple interior, not as fancy as Wa Motel. Bathroom with bathtub and bidet toilet. Most importantly is the room is clean and without smokey smell.

Oh yeah, they also give the toiletries pouch that consists of toothbrush, razor, bubble bath, After Shave Skin, Woman Cleanser, After Shave lotion, Moisture Toner, Moisture Emulsion. I think they got from the same supplier, as the items were exactly the same. The only different was the hotel name :P

The room charge was around SGD 75.00, it's about the same price as Wa Motel. They provide free can drinks in the fridge, but Haeundae hotel didn't provide breakfast. You can have free coffee from the coffee machine at the lobby area.

Haeundae hotel is about 10 minutes stroll to the beach and subway. These love motels usually scattered around tourist areas and bus terminals that can cut down travelling time to the attraction spots. 

In my opinion, love motel is good option if you're looking for inexpensive and enjoy full facility of hotel accommodation. 

Buseoksa to Busan

Walked down from Buseoksa Temple, quickly collected our luggage from Tourist Information Center (TIC) as bus no 55 parked there and going off soon...  

Passed by Sosu Seowon on our way to Yeongju Bus Terminal

It took about 40 minutes from TIC (Buseoksa) to bus terminal. Quite worried as we're not sure whether there's bus to Busan. We couldn't checked the schedule because there's no internet connection. I only have itinerary showing schedule from 12:10 up to 15:30 (latest time to leave Yeongju, as I planned to meet my friend in Busan).

Bus Timetable to other cities

Bus Fare Ticket

Lucky that there's bus leaving to Busan at 17:10pm

There are conveniences stores and restaurant inside bus terminal

not enough time to eat in the restaurant as only left about 20 minutes

after we purchased our tickets. Only bought something to munch in the bus.

There's internet connection, quickly updated Oppa

that we wouldn't be able to meet him and his family ㅠㅠ

Let's go to Busan~!

It's not express bus, therefore the bus makes few stop-overs 

including Andong Bus Terminal.

The journey from Yeongju to Busan bus terminal took 3 hours and 20 minutes. And when we arrived it's around 20:30 pm...

Sorry for stopping here... need to have plenty of rest, so that I can fully recover from migraine.

I just came back from Korea for my Birthday trip with my family in Sep 2013. Yap, this is my 3rd trip in Korea with my hubby. Initially, thought to go with my friends or my sisters, but they're not available. My hubby quite worried if I travel alone, because the chance for me to get lost is about 80%. Therefore, he bought air ticket to accompany me (hhmmm... I think it's an excuse! He likes Korea too!)

It's still winter (Dec - Mid Mar) in Korea that can be bitterly cold, especially for us that so used to tropical climate. I really wish to see snow, but really worry to see the minus degree on weather forecast. I asked my Korean friend whether I can survive the cold in Korea.  He commented: "You are cold-vulnerable South East Asian. You wont make it at all. Give it up". ㅋㅋ

Haiz! Not even encouragement~! But, I didn't give up! And these photos are the proofs that we survived the cold weather, and had pretty much fun and enjoy ourselves in Korea ^^

10 cold but cool days of fun but furry covered from head to toes! :P

 Day 1 - Day 5

Seoul, Incheon Soraepagu, Yeongju, Busan

Day 6 - Day 10

Jeonju, Muju, Suwon, Seoul

Rough itinerary was Korail railroad trip (O-train, V-train and S-train), cultural tours to other provinces that I've not visited yet. And a must skiing experience since it's winter. Seems quite straight forward, but it's actually quite tricky and headache as I need to check on the transportations (Korail, Kobus, Easy Ticket) with time schedules.

I emailed to KTO to enquire on transportation information that I couldn't find such as from Gyeongju to Masan, and Gwangju to Jeonju. They replied me with the Naver Map link (in Korean) with Departure Time, Arrival Time, Bus Type and Ticket Fare.

Initial Itinerary after few changes of places to stop / transfer 

as I couldn't find transportation from one point to the other point.

Gyeongju to Jeonju Bus Information by Naver Map

From there, I tried to explore on how to check on other destinations by bus: Yeongju to Busan and Muju to Seoul. It's really very useful with accurate information on bus timetable, bus terminal address and website.

Final Itinerary 

Well, not too much changes for Final Itinerary as I only knew how to use Naver Map 2 days before my departure date after I received replied email from KTO. There are actually a lot of Intercity Bus (시외)  and Express Bus (고속) connecting every cities.

For accommodations, I booked through Agoda for hotels in Seoul & Busan. And the rest, I reserved online through their websites, but only Muju Kookmin Hotel confirmed my booking. The rest didn't reply on the confirmation though I emailed and tried to message them through Kakao Talk. I understand that you need to pay deposit to secure the booking and they didn't accept credit card. So, it's too troublesome to transfer money to their bank account and I really don't want to bother my Korean friends as they're so busy.

From their booking system, you can actually see which rooms were already booked. Mostly just half full, so I decided to just go there directly, if the room we wanted was taken, we can just change to other room. For the worst case, we'll  just look for motel...

This time round, I reserved WiBro rental from KT Roaming. This Wifi router can support up to 7 devices for wifi. It's important, as for the first day, my hubby will be arrived in Seoul at night only. So, I need to let him know the hotel room number and most importantly I can stay connected in case I lost my way in Seoul :P

(Love) Motel in Korea

WA Motel, Busan

This is my first time in my life staying in (love) motel!!!

As I mentioned earlier, the tour that we booked earlier was cancelled. So I have to search for accommodations in Korea.

You can book through Agoda, and they have special discount for DBS/POSB credit Card.

At first I wonder why it's so cheap for 3 stars rated hotel.. then I read the reviews and got some idea about this hotel. Though it's labelled as "Love Motel" but the reviews quite good. I don't think you can find such a nice hotel in Singapore with that price. A small boutique hotel might cost double of this love motel which only cost SGD 70.00/ night

Tadaaa...

WOW!!! compared to the hotel we stayed in Jeju, this motel is even better!

Walking distance from metro station (about 5- 10 minutes walk) and nearby famous Haeundae Beach. There are few similar motels around that area too.

I guess these are some common things of love motels (accuracy not more than 50% :P). Please correct me if any of the information here is wrong...

1.  Enter through parking lot, which have something like "curtain" hanging from top and left about

     1/3 not covered for privacy for those drive-in customers?

2. The receptionist desk also have partition screen covered and only have a small hole for payment

    and get the key.

    Sorry that I didn't aware of it, I just bend my head, look and talk to the receptionist... LOL

    (top left of the photo).

3. Nicely design room with different themes and modern facilities included in the room such as:

    2 PCs with Wi-Fi connected to wide screen TV, microwave, water dispenser and can drinks in

    mini fridge, snacks, toiletries.

Wa Motel interior

   
The room so spacious. Bathroom with Jacuzzi bath tub and shower head. I found something quite interesting... All hotel or motel that we stayed provide lotion, after shaved and toner for men (but not for female). Anyone can tell me why is it so? I really wonder why? Is it because female customers normally carry their own? or they just want to promote the cosmetics products to male customers?

Here are comparison of Wa Motel with 3 star (consider quite big) hotel which I stayed in Jeju.

* Wa Motel is spacious with modern luxury settings. Hotel in Jeju just a simple room with outdated
   furniture.

* Clean room and bathroom... they even wrapped the toilet bowl with a paper stating... it's clean for
   your hygiene use. So scary when a saw a ton of hairs on the toilet bowl in the hotel in Jeju....

* Free toiletries: toothbrushes, toothpaste, shower cap, and something unusual also included inside
   the pouch (guess what was it?!). You need to pay for toothbrush and toothpaste with the stated price
   if you want to use them for hotel in Jeju.

* I didn't know that can drinks and snacks are free of charge too... normally most hotel will charge if
   you consumed... You only need to leave the key and they didn't check your room.

Wa motel served  sandwiches and orange juices for breakfast. They even asked what time we prefer the breakfast to be delivered to our room. Really good service!

We stayed on another love motel in Seoul too... I forgot the hotel name, we supposed to stayed with my Korean family... but we didn't want to disturb them as they have kids that need to go to school and it's not so nice that we came back late.

We just walked-in to one of the love motel... and luckily the receptionist understand a bit of English. He tried to explained to us that the hotel charged hourly rate.

Sigh, we should just pay few hours rate instead of 2 nights stay... as we didn't understand until we had made the payment and he said that we need to check out tomorrow and check in again for the same room. Haaiiizzz... should request to change to another room for different atmosphere :P

We stayed in the above room, which have pink rosy wall paper and a big round mirror on the ceiling. It's quite hi-tech, that the air-con remote is not using the original remote control... We thought that air-con was spoilt and called the receptionist to fix for us. Actually, it's centralised all in one remote for lights, curtains and aircon...

Aigoo, so embarrassing... the guy smiled after he explained how to operate them. I had to nod my head with an awkward smile and said: "네,알겠습니다... 감사합니다~ (Yes, I got it now... Thank you). Maybe he was thinking OMG, where the earth are these customers from? why so stupid?

Very good customer service. They draw us a map for us to wait for airport bus...  They even asked what time to serve the breakfast for us (sandwich with orange juice).

Personally, I think love motel is worth the price (around SGD70- $80). But might not suitable if you travel with children or female single traveller.

You can check these site for more types of accommodation (Budget, Hanok, Apartment, and luxury hotel) in Korea:
1. Visit Korea
2. BnBHero

Please check my latest post on another love motel in Haeundae area here.

Upss... this is a long page, I think will write on Minbak (Bed & Breakfast) next round ^^

안녕~~~ 안녕하세요 여러분~!

Yap, you're right! I miss you Korea so so  much... thinking to do a simple blog for it that maybe might be useful for others. I've received some questions from my friends asking me on my trip as they planned to visit there too...

As some of you might know already, I'm a blur queen added with my short span of memory, which tends to forget things easily... Therefore, I think write them out before I totally forget (hopefully not!)

It was about one year since I visited Korea (7 Jun - 16 Jun 2012). Finally stepped my feet here, The Land of Morning Calm.

Happy & thankful that my dream finally came true after long long wait... Well, just like a dejavu when I visited some of the places... maybe because that I saw too many photos and imagine myself there too much hahaha...

I'm planning to revisit Korea again soon and now doing my homework (again) for my 2nd trip to Korea.

1st trip supposed to be joining a group tour, but it was cancelled by the tour agency 2 weeks before departure. Are you kidding me?!!

CANCELLED = NOT GOING?!!

NO WAY!!!

It's school holiday, and most of the tours were either full, date of departure either too early or too late or just too expensive... and we have problem for the flight too.

Instead of sitting crying and do nothing... I searched for air ticket and planned for the itineraries.
Not easy but not so difficult too, because there are a lot of information available (That's why I love Korea much)...

I went to KTO office here which I sometimes attended Korean Language and Cooking classes to get brochures and checking more detailed information. Some major tourist attractions are easily search through internet. And moreover, I have few friendly Korean friends and acquaintances... Yes, I'm online seller (lilcheerry), which most of my items supplied from Korea.

Yes!!! so no problem, right? Really lucky me huh?!!

To cut the story short, we managed to go to Korea and have ddaebak trip! I tried to include and squeeze more places in my itinerary as I wish to cover as much as possible the whole nationwide of Korea (pity my Korean friends... they were so stress when saw my crazy 10 days itinerary ㅎㅎㅎ ).

Here is the video (summary of my trip) which I submitted for Korean Air and KTO "Asian on Air Program"
