No idea wor..If you lucky you probably see this familiar buiding liao haha..baby Faced beauty extended..by the time you're there you probably able to see Jang nara & Daniel Choi running around that area

When I visited LOEX mall haha (The Cheonyangin railway station Lotte Dept Store)..The episode earlier was shot at the buiding days b4...ouchh I missed Ha Ji Won by days

I was there ~ late Dec. and the shooting of secret garden was ~ 1/2 way - 3/4 way mark..

1)I'm not sure about muslim food pricing in Seoul. Infact i see none except the one listed on pg 1 by listiana and mostly at Itaewon area. For common Korea food pricing, mostly ~ 4000-5000 won/plate ..i.e on avg ~ RM12-RM15 per plate. So just take this as yardstick.

2) Souvenir- Namdaemun market is the cheapest place for souvenirs & for cloths- Dongdaemun & for cosmestic - Myeondong. Insadong is not cheap

3) Up to you but RM is not well tradwed in Korea. You can change it here wth a lost of ~ RM30 per every RM1000 or change to US$ 1st and change it at Seoul airport

Actually unlike M'sian Airport, The Money changers operating from Incheon airport is actually not so bad and slightly higher than those downtown. Infact you still getting g=better by changing to USD first rather than changing 100% to won in M'sia..well not so much lah haha..

probably by this way, you will be getting ~ 2.78 rather than 2.82 let say..

Sure but better prepare sufficient winter cloth esp for infant. Temp during this time ~ 10C to minus 5C

Most attraction already listed on pg1. do visit that page. Nami island probably the most romantic place for sure, Otherwise, the hangang parks alone Han River where most dramas shooting done there or even the old fort wall beside Dongdaemun that lead to the hill..

Haha if you convert like this, lotsa forumers will be super happy liao and only bring small amount to Korea. Yes, for Korean that amt is cheap bcos they earn Korean won & not RM. Everthing is 3X M'sia. so 400 won is RM1.20 & not RM0.40, 2,000 won is not RM2 but RM6 hor..anyway, at RM6 for a starbuck still consier cheap-lah haha

Yes you can roam there but you cannot use their SIM card bcos diff system. To call back, I use Skype but for sure you need wifi-lah haha

For phone renting, follow this. Lotsa Phone renting at arrival hall lor.. Updated on pg1

The closest that i know is konjiam ski resort which is just at the outskirt of Suwaon town South of Seoul (~ 1hr MRT kua?) The resort posted on pg 1 wth wikimapia link

I went to the one closest to Nami Island so that after nami island i can straight away ask the taxi at Nami island to drive me there..it's only ~ 15km from Nami island but teh neter taxi going there not really cheap..I kena ~ RM60 taxi ride from Nami island to Ganchon Ski resort. Thereafter I took the resort free bus ride back to Seoul from Chanchun station..(Overshoot the Ganchon town station haha

Here's the ski resort during end Dec 2011..the snow still very thin that time

Not cheap for sure haha.. I went there just to play snow & snapped photos...The resort is free and you can run & walk there & no need to pay a single won & even use their free shuttle facility..Well if you wanna ski, just rent lor..but not cheap..

Meaning there is no entrance fee lor..You can enter anytime you want. Only when you wanna ski, you go & rent the equipment. It's not cheap for sure, & I dun even wanna see..You can check the price list from their website for eg:

http://www.konjiamresort.co.kr/krs/en/

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.

For storing backpack & liggage temporary at guesthouse, yes I did that b4. bcos my flight is midnite and check-out Noon. So I checked-out early in the morning and leave my lugage in front of the reception counter and pick it up ~ 4pm.

No problem. Any hotel/hostel will be able to do this. Just dun keep anything valuable inside can dy

Buy on the spot inside lotte world lor

Wah,,,those going to korea now really facing daily rain.. Latest news even worst:

I tot every week also got k-pop countdown as what I watch in KBS World & Astro OneHD..so just goto those countdown concert lor...all groups will be challenging each others for weekly best group.

The question..How you get access to these concerts? Even in m'sia, those weekly reality shows & etc also me dunno how to get access haha

Can at the airport but the rate will not be good compare wth changing to US$ 1st.
Lotteworld having Indoor themepark as well as outdoor. I dun bother going in also since I dun really like thempark..i dun even enter the outdoor themepark of genting since the last 20 yrs ago haha

Yes you can roam. And use Skype to call back to m'sia once you are at free wifi zone inside your hotel.
