I waited until both of my friends arrived inwards Seoul together with nosotros decided to direct maintain the shortest road from Seoul. The three of us checked out Yongsan electronic complex get-go together with rode the KTX Korea Bullet Train later. Shopping comes first! Hehehe..
From Yongsan to the nearest KTX Station CheonanAsan costs most 13300 won ( MYR40) and the duration was 35 minutes. It was cheaper compared to JR Nozomi Bullet educate inwards Nippon which was simply about MYR75 for one-half an hr inwards 2007
This KTX is saltation for Gwangju.
KTX ran at maximum speed 305km/hour when nosotros rode the train. Overall, it was a pleasant ride, but the infinite betwixt seats is non that spacious considering it every bit a bullet train. Some of my Korean friends watch KTX fare is quite expensive. When a bullet educate passed through Cheonan Asan Station, nosotros heard an explosive sound, almost similar a bomb. Amazing!
