hey everyone! im in korea from 30th september to 13th october this year and and Im so excited!!

I would love to go to Jeju for a couple of days to make a bicycle tour around the island (because i cannot rent a car and i really like biking :))

ill arrive and depart from seoul incheon airport and since i havent booked anything else yet im quite flexible.

my problem is, i dont know when its "safe" to book a flight to jeju because im scared that ill arrive during a time where its really rainy/bad weather in general or when it is really packed. i also dont know how fast the prices for hostels, flights and ferries spike/sell out.

when did you decide on the dates of traveling to jeju? was it spontaneous, or weeks/months in advance? is there any rule of thumb?

thank you

komme im oktober ins dritte semester und wollte schon mal anfangen, den stoff des ersten und zweiten semesters nochmal nachzuholen, insbesonders weil ich in der semesterabschlussklausur schlecht abgeschnitten habe.

ich brauche eigentlich eine zwei oder besser im physikum, nehme deswegen gerne in kauf mich länger aufs M1 vorzubereiten und mache seit ner weile die ankis von ankiphil.

mich würde interessieren, wie ihr unterm semester für ne gute note aufs physikum gelernt habt/lernt und ob ihr vielleicht auch ankiphil verwendet habt :)

liebe grüsse und viel erfolg an alle die demnächst schreiben !

hello everyone, im a solo traveller arrviving at almaty in late august. i am starting a language course in the beginning of september and i am looking forward to spending a few days in the area around almaty and bishkek. I am looking for an "authentic" yurt stay, just for stargazing, reading and admiring the nature.

so far, i did not really find any website which lets you get in contact witch people who manage the yurts, and i can imagine its hard to find some of them on the internet.

do you have any tips for booking some nights in a yurt in advance and which areas are typically best to stay in?

best wishes from germany!!

hallo zusammen,

ich komme im Oktober ins dritte Semester und überlege gerade, den Stoff aus dem ersten und zweiten in den folgenden Monaten zu wiederholen. Ich habe das Amboss Ankiphil Deck, und gefiltert nach wichtigeren Karten hätte ich 3200 Ankis insgesamt für etwas über ein Jahr, ich müsste damit so 8 neue am Tag machen, was mir sehr machbar erscheint.

hat hier jemand von euch unterm Semester mit der Physikumsvorbereitung angefangen und kann berichten, wie er/sie dann gekreuzt hat und wie gut man sich dann tatsächlich an den Stoff erinnern kann? Oder benutzt das Deck jemand generell und kann seine Meinung dalassen?

Ich erhoffe mir damit eine etwas stressfreiere Zeit in der Phase vorm Physikum. Bin auch vom Lerntyp jemand der gerne früh anfängt und jeden Tag ein bisschen macht.

I want to go from bishkek almaty to catch a flight at 23:40. i start from bishkek at 13:00.
i feel like 10h+ could be enough for the journey but i am scared that the border control takes up too much time. does it sometimes jam up for multiple hours or it it usually not that busy?
Also is it safe to take a private yandex taxi to the border station or is a bus better/faster?
help/insights would be appreciated!
enjoy your day :)

Hey everyone,
I’ve been watching a direct flight from Bishkek (FRU) to Seoul (ICN) with T'way Air for October. I've been tracking it for about 3 weeks now and the price hasn't changed at all, but it’s a bit higher than I'd like to pay. Since they're the only airline doing this direct route, I don't have many other options.
The website currently says Only 3 seats left at this price."
I figured it was just artificial scarcity to get me to buy quickly, so I tested it by trying to book for 4 passengers. It actually showed up as Sold Out" for 4 people, which made me think the warning might be real.
However, when I go through the booking process for one person and look at the actual seat selection map, the plane is almost entirely empty.
I know nobody can predict if the price will drop, but I'm just trying to understand the logic here. Does T'way just hold back blocks of seats for tour agencies who haven't assigned their seats yet? Or do they just completely shut off the cheaper fare buckets early on this route, even if the plane is empty?
If anyone has experience flying T'way or knows how they typically handle these low-frequency routes, I'd really appreciate the insight. Trying to decide if it's worth waiting another month or if I should just lock it in now.
Thanks!

hallo zusammen, es ist ja bekannt dass viele airlines künstliche verknappung nutzen, um käufer anzulocken.
ich suche nach einem direktflug von bishkek nach seoul über tway air im oktober, seit 3 wochen hat dieser den gleichen preis (für mich eigentlich zu teuer) und die meldung, dass nur noch wenige plätze verfügbar seien.
ich hatte die annahme, dass die airline mich nur zum kauf drängen möchte, aber da sich der preis nicht verändert und mir auch keine anderen optionen als der flug bleiben, bin ich unschlüssig ob es nicht vielleicht doch die wahrheit ist dass es nur wenige plätze gibt.
wenn ich auf sitzplatzreservierung gehe, sieht zwar gefühlt das ganze flugzeug leer aus, aber gebe ich an dass ich den flug für 4p buchen will (1 mehr als die angegebene restplatzanzahl) steht da tatsächlich sold out.
Hat jemand Erfahrungen mit den Preisgestaltungen der Airlines gemacht und kann da etwas zu beisteuern? Ich bin mir echt unschlüssig, denn mir mangelts auch einfach an Erfahrung beim Buchen von Flügen.
