I remember a thread that was on here not long ago. It was something about a ferry to china from Incheon. There was gambling and beer on the ferry. I can't find the thread so any help... thanks.

Hi Salboski,

I found this thread which has a reference to the ferry:
http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/korea/viewtopic.php?t=51906

The search function here is not very useful so what I did was an advanced search on Google using the keywords
Code:
ferry china incheon site:http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/korea/


Hope this helps.

Cheers

Took it once. The ferry itself was pretty cool. I went with a few friends and we had our own room, TV, videos to watch. I forget if there was beer or not, but their probably was. There was "gambling", but I don't know if it's the stuff you're looking for. Might be more than one boat as well...

Great way to go, but when we got to Tianjin, it kind of sucked. We had a crappy bus with no heating in the winter that kept breaking down.

it's a great way to go to china, and cheap enough to. i think qingao would be the most interesting port city, followed by dalian. a world apart from korea in any case, and a good thing to do for a long weekend that won't break your wallet.

What are the entry requirements for UK citizens, I'm hearing a lot of mixed advice...
