Korea's tourism dollars are being spent on BS ads across the world, but not on serving the needs of tourists and foreigners actually in Korea. That's what happened. Lack of planning and logic.

Who would come to Korea for tourism anyway? Go to Seoul for a few and get the hell out!

Having said that, it's alright to earn some easy cash.

I would never recommend this hole as a holiday destination, however, unless you like rudeness, garbage and kimchi.

Busan, Seoraksan, Jejudo, Taean, Gyeongju, Mokpo islands, DMZ.....all great places to travel in Korea.....if Korea made it easy for tourists to travel around the country.

To be frank...the korean timetable on the website is really simple to use and quite basic.

However, i can't see why they can't change it over to English as well. i just think maybe the demand is to small and they couldn't be arsed.

Buses are a lot better than trains here anyway.....

I tried to reserve a bus ticket online and couldn't. The site wouldn't accept my alien registration number and my korean friend said if he used his own number he would have to go to the bus station with me. I ended up just showing up at the station the morning of and got a ticket, but I was pissed that I couldn't reserve one.
