KOREA 2014: DAY 9 ~ SEOUL: MOM (Kyuhyun), Gangnam, SBS Inkigayo (Super Junior This is Love & Evanesce Pre-Recording)

25 OCT 2014 The two hobbos basically dragged ourselves back to Myeongdong on an early morning train and arrived at MOM House a little too early. Directions when you get out of Exit 6 off Myeongdong station; you should be able to see the sign peeing through from a brown brick building as you face the road right behind the GS 25. Walk down towards the nearest traffic light (yes cross the road safely) and walk straight up the hill on the right of the buildings; that is where the entrance is located. (it is not easy to spot; there is a flight of stairs which leads up to it) The cafe is right when you enter the place. However, despite being a hostel/dormitory it has a lack of lobby space so the two hobbos had no choice but to spend our waiting time sitting on the flight of stairs and hoping no one would come down. Thankfully, the male staff took pity on the hobbos and requested for the cafe to open earlier so that we could be shifted in. Thank you! =) We chose a nice seat next

They are basically the main/largest agency that eventually conducts the tour. All other agencies/hotels will arrange the pick-up for you and all of the tourists will gather onto the same bus from VVIP Travel and that is where you incur additional charges.  Guideline: A half day tour (without JSA) should cost you 40,000KRW and a full day tour (with JSA) should cost  you 130,000KRW I personally booked my tour via this website: http://www.dmztours.com/seoul_dmz_tours.htm and got an email reply from Mr Choi rather quickly =) Question: What's the main difference between the half day and full day tour (with and without JSA)? JSA tour is the only part of the tour where you will actually get a glimpse
