They even parade you in a group and make you wear a sticker, very touristy! Also make sure you don't say WTF too loudly when you see the Police walking around, I did and everyone stared at me. Police toting sub machine guns just took me by surprise.

People will go out of their way to help you, as long as you keep calm and courteous. There are no tourist traps / scams / rip-offs etc. All public transport is in English, all Taxi's run a meter. All teenagers will have a degree of English ability, the older people not so much. There are police toting machine guns in the airport. Once you leave the airport you will not see another gun, unless there is a protest where riot police wait in buses watching. They will only act if the protest gets out of hand (and they generally never do). I know Korea is not the focus of your trip, but I advise you to read up a bit about the culture prior to your arrival. I have been there 5 times in the last 4 years, for work, and for my own personal business. If you have any specific questions I will be happy to help you. Cheers, Jason |

www.aami.com.au Follow the links for travel insurance. Another good company to use is: www.tid.com.au (I use them when I travel with a laptop, as they have a higher 'cost per item' limit than other companies for electronics). Keep WELL AWAY from a company called "1 Cover".. a claim for $290 took MONTHS.. which sorta made me angry when I had paid them a total of over $900 for my insurance premuim. Read the fine print. Many companies do not cover single expensive items as they may offer a maximum limit of $500 or $750 per electronic item. Don't use the insurance offered by your travel agent. The mark up of their premiums is beyond a joke (although, they will generally price match if you are getting it done at the time you are paying your tickets I find). Have fun

Yes. Booked a trip a few days ago, 30 days in and around the Indian Sub-Continent.
Came to $108 with a $200 excess, which I'm very pleased with

 $1.40 for a 500ml bottle from the supermarket, or $2.50 for a 350ml bottle at any bar. 19-21%, I describe it to my mates as 'half Vodka' Drink at your own peril lol  :
