I get a few days off in late May, and the holidays after that all land on weekends. So I devised a possible getaway plan for that week. The question is... am I crazy to do this?
Here's how it looks (this may or may not be possible):
-Tuesday afternoon/evening: come home from work, take a short nap
-Wednesday morning, around 2am: go to Seoul Station (close to my place) and take KTX bullet train to Busan
-Wednesday morning, around dawn: arrive in Busan, take earliest ferry to Fukuoka
-Wednesday, mid-morning or around noon: arrive in Fukuoka, take bullet train to Hiroshima
-Wednesday evening: return to Fukuoka and stay in hostel, or stay overnight in Hiroshima hostel (depends on when my Hiroshima activity finishes)
-Thursday: explore Fukuoka, start heading back in mid-afternoon
-Thursday evening: arrive in Busan, get on KTX bullet train to Seoul
-Friday morning: back at Seoul Station, take the short stroll home and rest up a bit
-Saturday, around 6am: trip to the DMZ
-Sunday: rest at home and sleep in
This schedule assumes that the KTX runs 24 hours, which is a rumor that I heard but haven't verified yet. In any case, this sounds like an insane trip. But since I'm all the way over here, it might be the last chance I'll get in a while to explore East Asia.
I'm still debating whether or not to try this stunt.

I don't know if the KTX runs that late. My friend's flight from Beijing was delayed for a long time and he got to Seoul Station at like 2 and he had to wait until 6 or 6:30 for the next one.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm sure that's just a rumor. At least there's some wiggle room on Thursday, because I can easily cut the Fukuoka portion of the trip short.
ReplyDeleteSo how did the trip go?
ReplyDeleteI said "late May"... :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh I got confused because we had talked about this trip during Children's Day too. Haha reading fail.
ReplyDeleteMy friend got a long weekend for Children's Day, but I didn't. Instead, I took a trip out to Namyangju, which I might blog about later.
