Unless you are habitually travelling there, then there is no reason for this kind of penny-pinching.

Nah, that ferry takes just under 3 hours to get to Japan. Once it gets out of Busan harbor, it raises up out of the water and the jet engines kick in. You have no idea you're hauling ass that fast.


Dude is coming from Seoul, and unless you're all about Fukuoka, you are REALLY starting to loose out on time by not taking a plane.

Sorry to be a stickler on this one, but a common phenomenon I notice here amongst the youngens is a desire to save money by taking time-consuming methods of transportation that if you factor in opportunity-cost, come out rather poorly. Saving 10,000 won on a taxi ride, but losing 45 minutes of your free time by taking the bus and walking doesn't come across as very efficient to me.


What has this got to do with you?
You were wrong about the ferry travel time. Also some people want to travel in different ways. I took the ferry from Incheon to Qingdao for the experience and the price.

You've never been to Japan (you said in another thread) you have nothing to offer here.

As usual trying to start arguments out of thin air.


He/She's just mad that you would want to spend time outside of his/her glorious motherland.

Did you take the jet powered ferry to Fukuoka?
That's an awesome ride. It's so smooth and soothing I always fall asleep within 10 minutes. Not much to see on the ride either.
