Bali, Indonesia

DATE: 2/5/2015 - 5/5/2015

(via Malaysia Airline from KL to Denpasar)

Never thought we will seeking for travel agencies's help for this trip. Thinking of our transportation there, halal food & places to go in Bali finally made us come to this decision. According to our googling, there are not so many halal food in Bali, and yet none of us having an international license to drive when we are there. Most of people in Bali are riding motorcycle. 

GETTING THERE

This time we found another safest place to park our car which is at Putrajaya Sentral. It is guarded & very cheap parking rate.

Parking fees = RM 4 (per day)
KLIA Transit to KLIA/KLIA2 = RM 6.20 (per pax)

TRANSPORTATION AROUND SEOUL

When you reach Seoul, make sure you have T-Money/M-Pass/Seoul City Pass Plus card to ride on their public transport. It's similar to Touch n' Go card in Malaysia and can use to pay for taxi, bus or subway. 

We choose T-Money which can be refund after used. The card itself cost is 3,000 won. So let say if you purchase 10,000 won T-Card, you can only use up to 7,000 won. 

Subway fee starts from 1,050 won for 1st 10km. Additional charges was based on additional distance:
- more than 10km within Seoul = additional 100 won for each 5km
- more than 40km within seoul = additional 100 won for each 10km
- more than 30km outside Seoul = additional 100 won for each 5km

Basic fare also based on age:
Age 19 and above     = 1,050 won
Age 13 - 18               = 900 won
Age 6 - 12                 = 450 won
Age 5 and below       = FREE

As i said earlier, T-Money can be REFUND.
Go to any convenience store and they will pay you the balance with 500 won service charge for each card.

FOOD

It's really hard to find halal food in Seoul. I mean other than Indian, Pakistani, Arabian or Turkish restaurants. According to our google-ing search and information from the Muslim Guide book by Korea Tourism, most halal restaurants are located at Itaewon. You can also find it in VisitKorea (1 & 2) website. 

Since we are in Korea, of course we want to try some of Korean dishes originally made by korean citizen hihiii. 

GOOD NEWS!!! We found a few places... However most of restaurants' signboard is in Korea. To guide you there, i also have attached the front shop image & a map from nearest station.

Well, here are the list of places that we went to:

ESTIMATE COST (for 2 pax)

Total expenses including meals, tickets & etc in Seoul is

= RM 3,000 (currency rate 3.2)
