MM23849****[June 18th Dalian-Seoul-Yongin] My mom and I got a group visa, so we didn't have to send our IDs in, which was super quick! The visa plus round-trip airfare for one person was only ¥1500, a great deal! After the visa was approved, I scanned the QR code in Picture 1 (which I took at the airport) to apply within three days before departure. I had already applied online beforehand, so when I went through customs at the airport, I just showed my passport – no need to fill out an arrival card on the plane! However, there's no separate self-service lane, so you still have to wait in the regular queue. It took an hour and a half to get through customs. After clearing customs, my mom and I went to Gate 6 to buy airport shuttle tickets to Yongin. You can pay with WeChat Pay or cash. It was 15,000 KRW per person. I paid ¥158.47 for two people via WeChat Pay. Just make sure to select the correct options on the machine! I chose to get off at the Yongin Bus Terminal, the final stop. The bus 🚍 announcements were only in Korean, but since it was the last stop, we couldn't go wrong, haha! It took two hours to reach Yongin Bus Terminal. The driver was a very kind young man who even told me how to take the bus 🚌, but his driving was a bit too wild! My mom and I felt motion sick, our stomachs were churning! On the way back, we're thinking of looking into trains and subways, haha. It's really rough for those who get motion sickness. There are signs for taxis, and a taxi 🚗 to the hotel cost 10,080 KRW. I paid with my Tmoney card. I rushed into the room to deal with my churning stomach and lay down to rest for a bit, then got ready to go out for dinner 🍚. I found the door wouldn't close, so the Korean lady at the front desk watched the door for me while we waited for the repairman. My mom and I went downstairs to eat beef bone soup, which was really heartwarming! We made sure to finish eating before 9 PM domestic time (10 PM Korean time) and then went back to the hotel to sleep! Here, they use AC and drink iced water, but my mom and I turned off the AC and boiled hot water to drink, haha.
