Hi Saurabh glad to see you again :) Thanks for this video lot of productive informations for travellers I have few questions 1. You mentioned while applying for visa you booked real flight tickets with fully refundable - please mention how and which website ? 2. Google translate must for translation - any other alternative? 3. I definitely recommend Haana Travel very professional so ppl in mumbai are lucky they are authourized travel company for Korea and Japan and good service to avail 4. if we are travelling overnight to bhusan as per the plan suggested in this video we can plan in the morning post break check out as it takes 2.5hrs from seoul to busan and check in most of the hotel is 3pm what do you think ? 5. Overall Seoul and Busan travel tips are very effective and I really appreciate your valuable guidance saurbah - rare youtuber who responds to questions promptly and stay connected love you bro :) looking forward to Japan series

[@WanderingMonk]

Thank you so much for your support always! Here are my responses to your queries- 1. You mentioned while applying for visa you booked real flight tickets with fully refundable - please mention how and which website ? -I booked it through Easemytrip & the airline was cathay pacific & despite being refundable there was a risk of 6000 Rs per ticket. 2. Google translate must for translation - any other alternative? - I have always used Google Translate without fail so no idea about alternatives. 4. if we are travelling overnight to bhusan as per the plan suggested in this video we can plan in the morning post break check out as it takes 2.5hrs from seoul to busan and check in most of the hotel is 3pm what do you think ? - Yes, this can be done but more productive hours will be lost just like I did.😂

Hello Very nice practical and informative video especially for an Indian traveller with family . Just wanted to know for the return journey - is it practical to take a flight from Busan back to India or is it practical to travel via train to Seoul and then take a flight back … what would be your recommendation?

[@WanderingMonk]

Thank you, if it suits cost wise then take the flight from Busan otherwise Seoul is better choice.

Thank you for the very informative video, it has helped a lot in planning my itinerary for upcoming trip. I have a few queries: 1.

As I am the only earning member, do I have to submit 3 copies of my bank statement for VISA application(for me, wife and kid) ?

[@WanderingMonk]

Glad it was helpful! 1) You docs will be sufficient 2) Yes. A visa agent will be able to guide you better.

hi thank you so much, can u say which website or airflight has full refundable option available pls

Try with any full service airline like Cathay Pacific, Singapore Air or Air India will have refundable fare option.

Hi sir..I m thinking to travel there on March...I need to know about the sight seeing places do we need to walk a lot to those places or they are easily reachable because we have our 1yr and 5yr old kids.. Which place do you suggest with 2 kids Bali or South Korea Please reply 😊

[@WanderingMonk]

If you plan to use public transport like we did in Korea, you will need to walk a lot, but if you use taxis walking will go down considerably. With 2 young kids, I suggest you go to Bali & add Singapore if you can. Don't forget to carry strollers for the kids.
