cupcake_star's post in How long to stay in South Korea for? was marked as the answer
Depending on the period (peak/non-peak) as well as how busy the clinic would be. I would say 1 week might be a little rushed as the surgery date may not be scheduled on the following day after consultation. I would recommend you to give some allowance of +2 to 3 days.
Stitches removal is usually on day 5 or 7 depending on the procedures done.

cupcake_star's post in Incheon Airport to Gangnam was marked as the answer
Do check out their limousine buses! it's really convenient and it's affordable at around ~$15,000 won. I have 2 links here that might help:

They have many bus numbers available that brings you to different parts of Seoul. During my trip, I stayed around Sinsa during my trip so I took bus 6009 from airport T2 to Sinsa station. I purchased the ticket from the counter and it costs $15,000 won. The bus accepts T-money card too so I would suggest you to purchase one 🙂

cupcake_star's post in Average Food/Shopping Budget For 2 Weeks? was marked as the answer
Hi there! I was in Korea last year for about 2 weeks as well and I bought around $1k CAD equivalent for food + spending. Personally, I would say it's more than enough 🙂
For street food, each item may costs around $4-5,000 won on average. (myeong-dong area). As for cuisine in mid-tier restaurant, pricing for main courses are usually below $20,000 won unless you opt for fresh seafood/kbbq which can varies depending on the restaurant 🙂
I also did some cooking during my recovery and I would suggest you to visit local supermarkets for groceries instead of big shopping malls. Groceries in malls tend to be pricer and I made the mistake by purchasing there in my first few days. Try to use Navermap to find local supermarket near your place 🙂
Hope my experience helps! Cheers.
