RTLS Posted June 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Our cruise in 2015 arrives Incheon on a Sunday and, as we have a reasonably long day there, ( 9am to 9pm) we decided to go it alone taking a taxi to the local station and then subway into Seoul where we would first take the Hop on/off Bus. I'm wondering whether anyone knows if subway service would be limited on a Sunday? A while back I read a great trip report about all of this and thought I had it aced. Unfortunately I've somehow lost my notes so any additional help regarding the journey from the port to Seoul and any additional thoughts you have would be very, very appreciated.

MM9U Posted June 10, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 10, 2014 You will have no problems in Seoul with the subway on a Sunday. There is less service, but this is a change of minutes. You will find that it may still be crowded at times, but the service is constant, and will get you anywhere in the city that you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you happen to know where would be best to get off the subway in order to take the Hop on/off bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go fish 44 Posted June 22, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 22, 2014 We will be in Japan and China and are wondering if the weather is hot can you wear shorts most places? Never? Temples? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirin Posted June 23, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 23, 2014 We will be in Japan and China and are wondering if the weather is hot can you wear shorts most places? Never? Temples? Thanks I cannot answer with accuracy about China, but shorts are fine in Japan for touring shrines/temples/sightseeing spots. As the Japanese generally only wear shorts when hiking or at the beach, you may stand out a bit, but the important thing is to be cool and comfortable, especially if you are not used to the heat.

calcifer Posted July 15, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 15, 2014 the subway station you want is gwanghwamun, it is the closest to the main Tourist Info Center where the bus routes start, but you can buy tickets on the bus anywhere it stops.
