In Seoul, you'll see regular-sized buses and also some smaller-sized buses running around. I took this photo on one of those smaller-sized buses (which are called "마을버스" (maeul beoseu) - 마을 means a small town). There's two subway stations for subway line number 6 near my house that I can easily walk to, but when I want to take subway line number 2, I usually take one of these mini buses to go to the nearest line number 2 subway station and transfer there. And the transfer only costs an extra 100 won, so it's a fair deal :)

제주도 (
Jejudo - Jeju Island).
제주도 is the largest island in Korea, but more importantly, probably the most beautiful place in Korea (in my opinion, at least). You've GOT TO check it out while you're in Korea!
It takes about one hour to fly from Gimpo Airport (in Seoul) to Jeju Airport, and a one-way flight costs about 100,000 won but you can get cheaper tickets too if you use the cheaper airlines.
I've been there three times, and I can't wait to go back there soon!
