K-Style TripInsider tips
There is no shortage of Korea travel information. What is here is the part that is hard to find elsewhere, or that you cannot tell is right once you find it.
What is here today
Hair, nails and crafts you can only get here, with prices
What to say in the salon chair, and roughly what it costs. The prices were read off the actual booking pages, cheapest first.
Insider tips ›The original, or a rebuild
The Jumunjin bus stop from the BTS cover was taken down after the shoot; the one there now was rebuilt. Some filming locations cannot be entered at all. Not a reason to skip them — a reason not to find out on the day.
Insider tips ›This week in Korea, and a record of the weeks before
One a day, stacking up. Scroll down and you are in last week, then the week before. Very few places keep an ordered account of what spread when.
Insider tips ›Last trains, read off the operator's own timetable
Eight venues, taken straight from the published tables of Seoul Metro, Incheon Transit and the GTX operator. Three we could not get are left blank — a wrong departure time is worse than none. We also say where that train stops. Samsong is not Seoul.
Insider tips ›The same thing in five languages
Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, French — checked by machine every time for translations that went missing or landed on the wrong entry.
What we mean to build
Intentions, not promises. The order and the timing may change, and where something does not work we will say so.
What people who went actually found
As reviews accumulate they will sit beside the checked facts — with the photographs and the video.
Someone to go with
A place for people coming alone to find others at the same show. We intend to require a verified account to post.
A place for whoever wrote something good
Not cash — the home page and a link to your own social. So that a good write-up is not buried.
We would rather everything on this list were true than that the list were long.
