TRAVEL TIPS
1) It would have been better to book a flight from Manila to Busan, then coming back to Manila book a ticket coming from Incheon.  Saves the trip of having to take the KTX going back to Busan just to fly back to Manila.

2) Have printed copies of the name and address of your hotel and the places you want to visit, preferably in Korean characters.  This way, you can just show this to the taxi driver or easily ask for directions around the area.  Also, always have on-hand the business card of the hotel you're staying at.

3) Being from a Tropical country, we were not exactly prepared for the weather. It can get quite cold, especially at night.  Do bring warm clothes.  It got quite cold when we were in Nami Island.
