Yes, it will damage the electronics (handphones too) if you put them on the heated floor overnight or for days.

Actually when I was in South Korea, slept on bed but with heated floor, I felt stuffy and dehydrated even though I wasn't even sleeping on the floor. So my advice is to always put a glass of water on the table if you're staying in a room with heated floor smile.gif

I took Air Busan for RM200 return flight (Gimpo-Jeju-Busan). Maybe depending on how early you book but that time Air Busan was cheaper than Eastar Jet.

I registered Asiana, Air Busan and Easter as member online to book the tickets.. cos they only allow members to view the fares..

We took EastarJet flight.You don't have to be a local to buy the ticket online.But have to be quick because it is like AA,the earlier you book the cheaper.

U gotta be kiddin' me... They don't understand "eat", "food", "toilet".. and many more. Not the majority can understand and speak English in South Korea and IMO, even though we don't pronounce 100% accurately, at least majority of us can spell and understand the basic words!!!

BTW, Korean voted 2nd higheset in Asia for their command in English 1 rank below M'sia which is the highest rabnking of Non English speaking countries liao..So it must be true or the surveyors choose the wrong guys as samples  biggrin.gif

During our stay, we were taught to say "chu seyo" when asking for stuff. For example, "pap, chu seyp", "ramen, tu geh, chu seyo". Tu geh = two bowls (correct ah?) and chu seyo is more or less like "give me" in formal, courteous way.

So I guess "chu seyo" can win smiles and open doors to friendship smile.gif
