I'm trying to find out how this could be a rip-off.. but it really does appear to be a train ride wherein I can drink all the wine I can handle.

I'm trying to decipher the Korean site now, but it doesn't look promising. Only dates I see for September stop at the 11th, then pick up again on the 28th. |
