8. TRAVEL INFORMATION

Three ways from Incheon International Airport to Prumir Hotel.
1. Bus: You can take the bus (4100) from Incheon Int’l Airport Terminal 1 or 2 to Suwon Station; then take a taxi toPrumir Hotel.
2. Subway: even though there is a way, We do not recommend it. It takes more time than the bus due to detouring (seethe map below).

3. Taxi: You can take a taxi from Incheon International Airport directly to Prumir Hotel.
*** The Prumir Hotel is located far from the big towns. Although there are a few public transportations, it would becomplicated for foreigners to use them (options 1 and 2 above). So, We recommend taking a taxi, which is the best way
to get to the hotel without getting lost. It would cost approximately US$ 80 (It takes 1 hour and 10 minutes if there is notraffic jam).

9. ACCOMMODATION“Hotel Prumir” is a 4-star Hotel between the University of Suwon, Yungneung, and Geolleung Royal Tombs (seebelow). We will have the symposium as well as accommodation in this hotel. Because there is no motel or hotel nearby,
we do not have any other option except to stay in Hotel Prumir. Fortunately, we negotiated with the hotel and breakfast
for a discount for all symposium participants. We will reserve the room for registered participants.
