ARRIVING in SOUTH KOREA - Using T-Money Cards 🇰🇷

[@jiminshighnote]

Thank you very much for making this video! It is such a thorough step-by-step guide on what to do upon arriving in Seoul which I have been worrying about for weeks. I like that you showed and explained exactly what to do. Even showing exchanging trains from AREX to subway train. I am planning to travel alone to Seoul for a 2-week holiday.

[@Steve-Owens]

You're most welcome 👍

[@Kkwangie]

This was a wonderfully thorough video, and very easy to understand! Thank you for sharing your journey. I'm going to Seoul this May - getting to the city from Incheon doesn't seem stressful at all ☺

[@Steve-Owens]

Excellent.. thanks for saying..

[@사이다-r1x]

So Kind.. Thank you

I’m leaving for Seoul on April 29 arriving April 30th. I wish I could have tagged along with you guys and get use to the trains, subway and buses. I usually Uber or walk. This will be my first solo adventure at 71 years old.

[@Watfordfc71]

Lovely video and so helpful and easy to understand, myself and wife are visiting September and searching for helpful videos , we will watch more through the the next few days and the SIM card video will be a big help , thankyou to you and your lovely wife safe travels

[@larryjohnwong]

4:42 From what I remember when I visited Seoul in 2016, the all-stop train is about 10 minutes slower, since the acceleration and deceleration of additional stops slow it down; but I didn't think it was worth double the price to get on the express train, and the all-stop train is quite affordable comparing with other metro fares.

[@artvandelayimports]

Thank you so much for this video! Traveling to Korea soon and was worried about getting lost in the airport and the transit system but it seems more straightforward than I thought.

[@r3tr0actiongamer24]

Were going to Seoul in April of this year. Thank you for sharing your journey, it's been very helpful. Thank you again

[@sophialee1804]

Very detailed video about the airport! I feel like I’d been there. Informative video 😊

[@huyenvi3408]

Thanks you

[@MrFatcatscott]

Very informative. Thank you,

[@Steve-Owens]

Very welcome

[@tranquilbakergentletraveller]

Thank you for this very thorough arrival video! Those T-Money vending machines looked easy to use. I saw some other travellers (on another channel) struggle a bit with the language barrier to purchase a card from a machine at one of the stations somewhere in Seoul - gave me a bit of anxiety. Anyone know if they have the same type of vending machines at Gimpo airport (I'll be flying into Gimpo)?

If you are staying more than a week. The cheapest accommodation is called "go shi won" lots students ' constrution worker lives here. It's more like a dormitory, but each person has a room with a shower booth. The price is 42man won for 1 month. Which around less the 400 USD. It's located in Seoul.

[@Steve-Owens]

I believe they are mostly single dorm rooms.. ? Thank you

[@맛집전문가]

@Steve-Owens they have a double dormitory, too. If you are interested in this accommodation I can send you pictures. It's very clean and close to the subway.

[@Steve-Owens]

@@맛집전문가 Thank you, I'm fascinated I will look into them more. No need for pictures we have our places planned for the near future.. it's not part of our current plan but thank you..

[@user-ys6mg3yz8t]

Oh, I'll not recommend it for foreigners... There is a reason why they are cheap.

[@맛집전문가]

@user-ys6mg3yz8t what are you talking about? It's a perfect place just to sleep. Go shi won was not recommended 20 years ago. Nowadays, all the facilities are brand-new.

[@chavandposh]

get your sim card at the airport if you are traveler other places don't really have sim card for travelers. its all contract in Korea.

[@BDTube2006]

Greetings--when filling out the arrival card, do you need to write the Korean address? or can you write the translated address? Also, when/how did you get the Korean cash in order to top-up the T-Money card? Thank you in advance.

[@Steve-Owens]

We travel 24/7 365.. I can't always remember each country procedures.. Sorry, I forget

[@gumgwang]

굿 good

[@Laura-ys7bx]

Another good one! I have to say I absolutely love your hats. Where does one go to to get one of those hats? Is there a ladies version or are they the same hat for everyone?

[@Steve-Owens]

I think I explain them well here Laura kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWXIoHRng9lmbNE :o)

[@E9ONE1]

Aloha~ I thought Tmoney can be used only in Seoul or Major Cities in Korea?...i think if you go down south or in the country side you can not use them?...Anyhow if you are traveling like how we did entire nation in 2 shorts weeks we just used cash pretty much on everything food/shopping/hotel/transportation..etc. Mahalo.

[@Steve-Owens]

They seem to work everywhere, I was just in a very small town and it was fine there.. But I'm no expert..

[@E9ONE1]

@@Steve-Owens say hi to Michelle for me👋🤙🥂

[@coyotelong4349]

“Go and find ourselves coffee and something sweet” Certainly no shortage of places for that anywhere in South Korea 😁 A coffee shop lover’s paradise ☕️

[@맛집전문가]

How much are you paying for the room? Maybe local motel is better. Motel is a very famous traveler. One night is around 45000 won

[@Steve-Owens]

We generally pay around that or less.. depending on the city.. Thanks

[@tropsweet1]

Is there a way to download t-money card on my iphone and use it that way since it would be linked to my Apple Pay?

[@paultitmuss]

Wow, that was an early flight! What time did you have to leave to get to South Korea for 7?

[@Steve-Owens]

It was a late night flight from Vietnam Paul, about midnight, we got almost no sleep :o)

[@heysoph.9]

can you only buy the t-money card with cash at the airport?

[@hahaha1862]

Hi, just a quick question!! How long did it take for you to clear immigration?

[@Steve-Owens]

why? from what I recall, a few minutes..

[@hahaha1862]

@@Steve-Owens thanks alot. Because we have a connecting flight at gimpo airport and need a rough estimation of the time.

[@Steve-Owens]

@@hahaha1862 Sorry, you can't really reference that info.. I have been to hundreds of Airports over the years and they are rarely the same on 2 visits.. Good luck

[@E9ONE1]

Aloha Steve, you know you were arrived in INCHON International Airport Not Seoul Airport, seoul has Gimpo Airport, i think you were confused lol you were keep saying arrived in Seoul at the Inchon Airport lol

[@Steve-Owens]

Thank you.. and Aloha

[@acejin5]

in Bus, we can use 1 card for 2 persons. just you need to tell "for 2 person" to the driver in the bus before tagging it.

[@Steve-Owens]

I was told not..

[@markylon]

Thanks for sharing your video, shame you waited 5 hours, couldn't you have left your bag or used a luggage locker then you could have done some exploring.?
