While Mr Kim is extremly helpful, their web site is extremly shitty.
I will fly Melbourne-Seoul 28/4 picking up my bike 6am, 10 days in South Korea before I take the ferry to Vladivostok and ride to Murmansk, into Norway, down to Denmark, Germany, London - shipping back by container first week of August.
What are your plans?
Regards,
Walter
