TQVM!..

oiks sorry 1 noob question
go korea need visa mou?

Hello Everyone! Missha is having summer sales of up to 50% from now until july 31st! Undereye Brightener for only rm6. and their famous BB cream only about rm33 after discount! Anyone who's coming here to Korea this month must go Missha yoh! hehehe. And their double enzyme oxygen mask only 7000KRW which is after 50% off. It's a great item!

And oh yeah, go to the Myeongdong branch, it's big and remember to get the tax refund slip to get additional 10% tax refund. yoohoo~ and btw, Laneige famous water sleeping pack is only about rm50 (Visa classic card - 5%, Visa Platinum 10% @ duty free shop, Aritaum is slightly more expensive even after their tax free scheme) . Malaysia selling that about Rm100.

Sorry people, a bit random but just thought of sharing with those going this month. And btw, Missha has promotion starting every 10th of the month, especially july and september =)

no need if u want to stay there less than 3months ..
correct me if im wrong ..

yeap, no need, unless it's working trip i think...I'm doing intern here for 10 weeks but I got a visa, not too sure why also. lol.

oooo..what internship...?

do you need to know how to speak korean?

This period is supposed to be my internship period but university change it to student exchange programme for some of us. Been here for 2 months, there's 2 more weeks to go but I'm dying to go back malaysia. lol.

I speak a little bit of Korean? but that's just really minimal. lol. It's like Mandarin and Cantonese sometimes so it's easier for chinese I guess.

im a bit confuse abt the currency.
i type in google 1MYR to KRW it gives me around 350
but when i type 1KRW to MYR come out 0.0028

so if one meal cost 10000krw then how much in RM ar?

Generally speaking, 1000W is like RM1. 100W is like 10cent.

Currency speaking, 1000W = RM2.80++.

generally, times 0.3 to make your life easier. So 10000krw = RM30.00

yup, that's what I did, it's easier that way..

- 1000 won equal to about RM2.80-RM2.90 now.
- From my experience, I simply regards 1000 won as 1 USD.. easier for conversion or to calculate things before buying.
- Most of the item is above 1000 won.. in fact a simple Lotteria burger start with around 5000 won +-.
- Basically the price over there is just like here.. except u need to convert the currency lor.. (eg; our McD burger here cost around Rm5+- but over there it cost about 5000 won.. so price-wise, u just use the price in our country and add 3 more zeros to get some quick estimation on what the price for similar item over there.. )

ps/ I learned that Korean ppl is very friendly and respectful too.. gonna miss that place..

ah i see..thanks for all the reply..
i find Aussies are so friendly..not sure korean yet.

Aussies friendly?? Are u sure?? Which part??

I went to Perth and others WA area. THe only friendly Aussie I met was an old lady at Rockingham. The rest gave me cold shoulder.

i went to Perth..quite ok leh for me..at least better than malaysian..lol

I wonder what Shazwina's doing rite now..hehe~ Dear, comeback soon & share with us all the good things!

Today is 초복 (chobok), the start of 복날 (boknal)! Boknal is a ~1-month period that is said to be the hottest time of the year. So, to those gping to korea this month, pls drink a lot of water and wear sunblock.

a bit confuse abt the direction to N Seoul Tower..wher should we take the cable car huh?from Namsan Park? which is the nearest subway to N Seoul Tower?

Although I did not walk to the cable car station it is very near to the hotel I stayed i.e Namsam park Hotel and all within walking distance from either Myeondong and Hoeyeon (Namdaemun) MRT stations.
