A few questions to which any of your input would be appreciated!!

It's the end of my contract, I've thus far reserved a flight that goes :

1) Seoul/Hong Kong/Bangkok/Hong Kong (transfer)/Seoul and it's 600,000KRW plus tax, does that sound reasonable?? Oh, Cathay Pacific.

2) I'm planning on storing my luggage at Incheon Airport while I travel, then pick it up and depart to Canada the same day. However they'll be different airlines etc, so do I have to enter Korea?? i.e. get a re-entry visa just to leave the transit area, pick up my luggage, turn around and check in to go home??

I'm REALLY hoping not to have to pay for a re-entry visa...any experiences there?

sorry, just thought to add......if I take a tour to Macau do I need a visa seperately since I'd be leaving Hong Kong? (that might be self explanatory to some.....but who knows!!)

Thanks,

Wow! Thanks so much for the info!! Looks like everything will go well then.!

My E-2 visa is actually still valied b/c I'm leaving a bit early, however it's in my old passport, and not that I'm looking to pull one over on Korean immigration officers, but maybe it'll never come up since I'm using a new passport and dont' want to stay over the alotted time anyway!

Thanks again!
