Can roam-lah as I explained earlier. Just check wth digi for promotional rate. Normally I use skype incase I want to call back when I'm in oversea. No need to buy SIM card or rent phone. You only need to be in free wifi enable area...The best, the hotel you stay

Call back M'sia the code is +6 follow by the number for eg +6012-33446655 or +603-51548888

I am currently planning my first trip to S.Korea. Knowing I like food very much, my friend (frequent busy travel to Seoul) told me to try out the following:-

@ Seoul, please do go visit these places for food:
1) All the korean street snacks can be get here under one roof - Gwang Jang market
2) Sariwon - For yummylicious Bulgogi
3) Singdangdong - for spicy tteokbokki with noodles, fishcakes, eggs, etc..(good for a late night supper especially in cold weather - missed this)
4) Myeongdong Gyoja - for spicy cold noodles
5) Samgyetang (Ginseng Chicken soup) - near the Palace (Gyeong Bok Gong).
6) Crispy Duck near KBS station...forgot the address, can go eat and try to catch if can see some korean artiste..hahaha
7) Fish market - for korean style fresh sashimi and other seafood.

arghhh, a lot more.

When we come down at about 10.00pm...we still see long queue of people waiting to go up!Crazy... rclxub.gif

Better not go on Saturday but I purposely choose Saturday just to celebrate my wife's birthday at the Seoul Tower.  smile.gif

Man I'm so happy its like im on a drug or something haha.. I personally feel that the best way to get to know a person's culture is by interacting with them, not just going shopping hehe.. It really broadens ur mind..

Well, enough rambling hehe XD We went to gyeongbukgung, bukchon, insadong, cheonggyecheon n myeongdong.. ALL by walking lol.. We just rode the subway from the house to anguk station and the rest is walking lol.. And lastly we rode the subway home from myeongdong.. God i love seoul!!!

We went to hongdae today.. Going back there another time at nite hehe.. Went to hello kitty cafe n took pictures at coffee prince cafe. Didnt watch that drama tho lol.. Went there with my omoni's friend's daughter happy.gif totally girls day today hehe.. AND THE SHOES ARE CHEEEEAAAAAPPPPP!!!!! Sale that is lol..

Plan to make a blog when I get back XD

To much to tell, penat dh type lol~ cant wait to go to busan this thursday!!!

Bro, can I know how is the situation now in Seoul? I mean the flood and rain. My flight to Seoul is on 3rd Aug till 9th Aug sad.gif  I am very worried when seeing tv news & newspaper reporting Seoul heavily rain non stop for many days d... is it true? Can I know also which area is affected with flood? And how is the public transport situation now? Is it working on time and no delay or etc.. ?  I have book a guesthouse in Hongik University area, and plan to only move around Seoul and Nami Island. So which part is flooded? or everywhere of Seoul? The rain is it still raining nonstop til now? and any warning issue by Seoul government?

Hope you can please reply me as soon as possible as I am very very worried about the current weather & flood in Seoul sad.gif
*
Hi ONGEDWIN, I just came back from Seoul on Sunday smile.gif Dont worry, the flood is at Gangnam area ( bottom of Seoul, south of Hangang river), just avoid going to Gangnam area will do. Which means, dont go to Coex Mall, Express Bus Terminal, Apgujeong...

MyeongDong, Gyeongbukgong, Nandaemun, Hongik Universities areas are fine. Just remember to bring umbrella or rain coat. If you have rain boots, even better..

Thank you to both of you. May I ask between Hongdae and Namdaemun, which is better in terms of night time activity? which one is more lively? I know that Namdaemun is near the market, but what is there to do at night? I know Hongdae has got lots of pubs and club, but other than that?

Thanks in advance for your help yeah! blush.gif  rclxms.gif

Hi Miyoko, if you like clubbing/pub etc, Hongdae has a lot of this kind of place, you can find it at Hongik Univ. Stn exit 9. If you like shopping, you can stay in Nandaemun, it is walking distance to Myeongdong, the shops in Myeongdong opens until 11pm. Nandaemun market is just like Petaling street, but it is a great place for shopping dor sourvenirs.
