visit south korea 2007

aaa. you are shocked. so you think it is too early to plan for a 2007 trip. dont be. at least for my case. firstly, it's better to plan early so it could be detailed. then, this means i can expand my budget as i have more time to save more $$$. so it's not a bad idea to start so early, eh?
so. you are thinking that i just came back from one vacation and is now planning for another? well this korea thingy, it was actually planned for last year. well, the trip was put on hold as i was eagerly planning n saving for the failed job transfer to prague. although i was able to take it the second time around (boris managed to convince me that the transfer was on when there were rumor that the coc was not going to be in prg... a messy story that), but when i realised at first that i wasnt getting my dream transfer, i was quite devastated. but hey, life goes on. look at the bright side. my hk trip materialised.
ok. back to korea... this time i decided, mom-daugther backpacking thing is not a good idea after philippines. it is going to be me me me. but then thinking of economising my trip, hurumph, getting a company is better. first name come to mind - carol. why carol? cos her time is flexi - she got like 30+days of leave!! yea lucky b*tch. also, i've talked about bpacking w/her before and she agreed. this trip will take at least 2 weeks. and i am sure loads of you that i know and have came across my mind as my travel buddies will not be able to take such leave. so mianwhayo if you werent approached. however, pls feel free to contact me if you are interested to be my travel buddy :).
culture and nature are 2 tops aspect i'm really interested when in foreign land. and korea has both - which is why i chose it. taiwan will be my next destination. although india crept into my mind but had to put it on hold as i'm not ready to face the hygyene issue, yet. based on these 2 aspect, culture and nature, i've roughly decided a high level itinerary of places to visit :

seoul - 3d2n
east coast(Gangchon/Chuncheon/Sokcho/Mt. Seoraksan/Ulleungdo) - 6d7n
Busan & Gyeongju (sights)- 3d2n
Jeju (Jeju Getaway) - 3d2n
Chungcheong-do (Geumsan Ginseng Tour) 2d1n

So basically this would take up to 18 days. Throwing in another 1 day buffer means i need like 19 days. hmm not sure i would get that 18 days?
