Tips for you before going to G-Star, Bexco, Pusan


 : A few days left before G-Star opens. So major game publishers are doing their best to prepare for that. Among them, Netmarble and Epic games are conspicous.

 If you are first at G-Star



 1. If you are looking for a free ticket, here is a way. Go to following blogs and ask them to give one. You may get one.

 2. If you don't like very crowded place, avoid Saturday and Sunday.


 3. Set your goals. And don't ask too much!!

    - If you just want to see new games... and take your time.

    - If you want some gifts!!, you'd better choose one or two booths...

   

 4. Keep the booth location and potentially crowded booths in advance(Usually, Nexon, Ncsoft and Netmarble are most crowded one)!


 5. The managers of the booths are a kind of veterans. So, they don't distribute gifts at the first day, Thursday. 


 6. It starts at noon on Thursday, the first day. So don't be confused...with 10 am when it usually starts.


 7. You'd better prepare apps such as facebook, istagram and so on...  


 8. Install QR scanner... which is quite useful.


 9. Outside of Bexco building, there are probably several booths, where you don't need any ticket to enjoy. 


 10. Long line doesn't always mean good gift or good game.

 Major game publishers, how they are preparing


: Getting familiar with how they are going to proceed each event can be helpful. And they do them differently, so... Knowing means you can save some time.

      Budget travel to GStar and Busan...(from Seoul)



     


     Note: I assume that you are going to travel from Seoul to Busan with minimum budget and to stay in Busan about 3 or 4 days.


    4 nights, 5days total: aboout 200,000 won(per a person, about 180 USD)


    Details: 27,000 x 2(Train, Mugungwha 2 ways) + 9,000 x 4(Hostel) + 6,000 x 3 x 5(Meals) + 4,000 x 5(Transportation)


     2 nights and 3 days: about 140,000 won(125 USD)

     1 night and 2 days: about 100,000 won(90 USD)




    Itinery


     November 14: Departure from Seoul(Train Mugunwha, Yeongdeungpo Station, 27,000 won about 5 hours)

                 - Hostel(Many around Haeundae, about 9,000 won per night)


     November 15: Gstar(Thur., expected to be less crowded)

               - Haeundae tour in the evening or Kwanganri Beach.


     November 16: Gstar(Fri., if you missed something yesterday)

                - Haeundae and Gwananri...


     November 17: Touring in Busan

                - Hostel(near the Seomyeon or Nampodong, Busan Station are recommended, about 9,000 won per night)


     November 18: Touring in Busan

                - Returning to Seoul(From Gupo Station, Train Mugunwha27,000원)



     

      Train


     From 'Yeongdeungpo' in Seoul to 'Gupo' in Busan is cheaper than from Seoul to Busan Station. And using Bus is not that good considering the price and the hours to be taken. 


     See below screenshot... And click on it, you will get to the reservation page. 





     Hostels


      There are many hostels in Busan. And you'd better use Apps. Here is my recommendations. "Agoda" > "Booking.com" > "Hostels.com" > "AirBnB" > "Travago". As far as check, Agoda has biggest pool. 


     If breakfast is important to you, you might find good one with around 10 USD.

     

     Below is the sample. It's Hostels.com There are hostels with price, 6 USD. Actually you are going to pay about 8USD for that..
