I really hope we can go Korea some time this year.. perhaps at the end of the year... If the trip can be realised, a 3-day visit to North Korea shall be added to the itinerary too. It'll be interesting and definitely an eye-opener.
In case you don't know, there's no direct flight between North & South Korea. So the routing would be Singapore-Beijing-North Korea-Beijing-South Korea-Singapore.
Philippe (boss' good friend in Seoul), who's also ventured into the North Korea tour business, will help to make all arrangements. Due to the connecting flight timing, a night in Beijing will be needed. According to Philippe, to travel between Seoul & Pyongyang takes 22 hours! And he does this every month! That's pretty incredible right? However heard from him that there'll be some improvement in the flight timing soon. We can in fact make use of the chance to explore Beijing by staying over for 2 nights. I don't mind at all since the last time I been there was 13 years ago. I'm sure it's very different now. But then... provided that we've 10 days to spare all in all.
It's even better if we could go in a group of, say, 6 or 7. We'll have our own tour to N.Korea.
Oh boy.. I'm so very tempted!
