I really want to go somewhere (anywhere but Korea) during winter vacation, but I can only afford W500,000 for the plane ticket. Anybody have any suggestions?

Take a boat somewhere instead. Check out the slow boat to China thread. Maybe you can take a boat to Russia too or else a boat to China, then bus to Russia. I saw it on TV. Looked interesting and cheap.

Getting a visa is a PITA. Not worth the added expensive and hassle to go and freeze. Try Taiwan or Hong Kong.

One year ago, a boat from East Coast Korea to Russia was 700,000 won.

The ferry to Russia is cheap.

But once you get there, accommodation in Vladivostok is limited and expensive (no hostels, only full service hotels at western prices).
