This is the link. Sorry, I got mix up. The price is USD90. But I don't think this model got fleece inside hence the price is lower.

Dongdaemun shopping area got way too many MADE IN KOREA winter clothing to choose..i chosen 1 very yeng style jacket,but bloody expensive..rm500+-..but quality damn nice..haha

but there's skill when buying their clothing,dun let them noe that ur interested to buy their cloth,but wait them become despo come ask u to buy..then u can juz nego till the price u sell..if cant get the price u want,then take another cloth n ask for cheaper price.

Why must buy North face leh... there are plenty of options to choose from in Namdaemun...

rather than asking for food blog.
You should be looking at which area u are going and what food specialty does that area offer.

Like when around Seoraksan, i had their local delicacy: squid soondae.
Also, you can head over to Haksapyeong Soon Dubu Chon (Soft Tofu Village) for soon dubu (soft tofu hot pot).

If you go to Gwangju, it would be Oritang. (duck stew)
For Damyang Jungnogwon bamboo forest, it's the Daetongbap.
For Andong, its their
1.Andong jjimdak,
2.Andong soju (a rice wine)
3.Salted mackerel


Of course you may find MyeongDong have restaurants serving Andong Jjimdak but then i find the best is still served at Andong.

I buy outdoor activities product that can last long so that I don't have to buy again. I am an avid fan of outdoor activities. I need a robust and durable gear that can last at least 4 yrs.

Agreed....

I'm happy that I got my Osprey Transporter 60L. Just started using this yr (Jan & Mar trip). It's really durable so far.

Wanna ask you guys..

Is December really a peak period for travelling to Seoul? Seems like no promo fares for AA... even Tokyo has..

1 week might not be enuf if u add in Busan..travel to Busan eat quite a lot of time..9days perhaps?

I remembered they open at 8am but most probably close at 7pm (tax refund counter)? Better you email them though.

Do you guys think it is alright for two eighteen-yrs old girls to travel alone in Korea?

what a bout 12 days?
i think its more than enough. I'll be going there during january next year. wanna play in the snow..

Just curious for those who opted to drive or have driven in Jeju before - do you really need an international license like what the Korean tourism website says?

And another thing is, how's driving there like? Easy? Confusing? Troublesome? I only know that the driving position in Jeju is the other way around for us in M'sia.

Yes, you need International Driving Permit that valid for 1 year issue by JPJ. Cost is RM150. I went to JPJ last week. I fill in the form, submit my form with 1 passport photo + RM150. Voila!! Done in less than 10 minutes.

Jeju Island is not small. The size is 714sq km. Bigger than Melaka.

Going to seoul on the 9th april!

Staying in namsan guesthouse 3. Arriving late night though. anyone stayed there before? got supper to makan ah nearby....reach there sure hungry

there's convenient store before you go up and 24hr fried chicken store.

Its relaxing since u get to enjoy the scenery. Not too hard, since the drive is slow and speed limit everywhere. GPS will prompt and warn u on that.

IF u can use the korean GPS then its super easy.

Most of the time I just ask the local koreans help me set the GPS. Else follow map still manageable
