I booked a round trip for Busan for me and 2 of my friends. It was easy to book and to get in the bus with the QR codes. It was comfortable and we had one pause. Be careful to be on time, the busses leaves exactly at the time said.

The performance lasts for one hour, and you are not allowed to take photos during the performance. 📷⚠️People will be randomly invited to the stage to interact. Please cheer and raise your hands. There will be a group photo session after the performance, and you can also chat. 💬Everyone is so tall, so fragrant, so gentle, and they will respond to any requests. As expected, they are very good at spreading food.

Bus far easier if managing luggage is a concern… Personally I'd go with the Express bus. You'll have a short break halfway… You should be able to buy tickets on the day unless it's a big national holiday. Fantastic! The bus was super comfortable—spacious, reclining seats, smooth and timely except in heavy traffic. QR-code boarding was seamless. Rest stop halfway for toilet and snacks was well-timed. Baggage handled easily. Worth it!

This property is the best in Gangnam. Located above the Coex mall and the units are so spacious.

After days of monitoring the weather, there was finally a break from the rainy season! I booked this at midnight and got a WA from Kao first thing in the morning with confirmation and instructions on how to get there. SUP Experience: I do SUP on open ocean so this Han River SUP was such a calming experience. Little to no wind, calm water and overall pleasant weather. I just paddle around waiting to see if the clouds would disperse for sunset It was a game of patience and there were some really nice shots taken on my phone. Would definitely try the sailing next time, saw a few uncles on it and it seemed so fun
