- John,
- I couldn't send this to your e-mail address.
-
- The inter continental hotel is one of the finest hotels in Seoul. It should
- provide a transportation between Kimpo airport and the hotel.
- If it doesn't provide a transportation, there are always buses and taxies.
- Buses will come quite frequently though I am not sure if any goes to
- the Inter Continental Hotel. If the hotel does not
- provide any tranportation, I suggest you to take a taxi.
- A regular (medium size) taxi will cost 10 to 12 dollars ( 8,000 to 10,000 Won)
- from the airport to the hotel and up to 4 people can ride in the taxi.
- (A luxury (?) taxi will cost more.) To ride in a regular taxi,
- stand behind the mass of korean people at a taxi stop.
- It will be nice to give some tip to a taxi driver if his/her service is good.
- Last summer, I took a taxi to go home from
- the airport and it cost me 10 dollars including tips. Some taxi drivers
- might try to overcharge you if you look like a rich foreigner ;-) although
- you are only supposed to pay according to the fee shown on the automatic
- meter inside a taxi.
-
- I hope you and your wife have a pleasant trip to Seoul.
