I have purchased a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.korail.go.kr\/ROOT\/main-top.top?lang=eng\">Korea Rail<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.korail.go.kr\/2003\/eng\/html\/sche\/f_sche_004.html\">Pass<\/a> for 10 days, the longest available from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.statravelgroup.com\/where\/branches.asp?Country=Australia&amp;City=Sydney&amp;Street=Paddington&amp;Area=NSW\">STA travel<\/a> here in Paddington. At first they were not sure if they sold the passes. STA is listed on the Korea Rail web page, but I did not know if all their offices sold the passes. However, after a quick investigation, they determined that they do sell the passes. It took an unexpectedly high amount of typing to generate the order. In the end, it turns out that I have a voucher, not in itself unexpected, to get a voucher, now that is unexpected, when I get to Seoul. I then take the voucher to Korea Rail and get the pass. A bit complicated really. The agent in Korea is:<\/p>\n<p>Kises Travel Office<br \/>YMCA building, Suite 505<br \/>Chongno 2-KA Seoul<br \/>(02) 733 9813<\/p>\n<p>I will be traveling for 14 to 15 days. So 10 days is not enough. I have decided to travel counter-clockwise around the country. This means that I will be able to use the rail network for the first 10 days. At the end I will be in the north-east at the National Park. There is no rail network up there, so not having a pass is not a bad thing. I will decide when I get there if I should drive or use the express busses. <\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/7285\/1965\/1600\/Korearailpass.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/7285\/1965\/400\/Korearailpass.png\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have chickened out of driving for now.
