U mean price comparison with diff hotels? 1st pg already hv already.. Most booking sites and inositel or their budget hotels list

Electronics and computers more expensive than m'sia. Cosmestic yes it's cheap bcos lotsa fames brands in m'sia are from sk. But sometime when elianto on 70% sales probably cheaper tha Seoul Liao haha

Comestic also you pay bill?

If I dun who wor..

custom probably allow but will you pass the max allowable weight enforce by AAX? or maybe MAS?

MAS sometimes close their eyes even if you exceed 20kg. If the flight is not full, they normally allowed 2-5kg extra. My flight from Perth and Jeddah exceed 4kg & 5kg respectively and they allowed me to go without paying extra. Domestic flight is even better. Last February I gone back home with 27kg and the girl at the counter told me, takpelah, flight tak penuh

Hi, a quick question, possible to rent a number there without renting a phone? Pls help as will depart to SK tomorrow

no..u need korean ID.

hm? rent a number? what's that supposed to mean?

hi i'm new here. Going to SK this Sept. Surprise that RM stronger againts WON. Manage to look at Ampang Park, rate at 2.77

Walao eh.. going in Sept, already changed liao..

ahh.. my last week in SK. this place is naise but very cold+windy.

i want to thank this place esp stimix (a lot of good stuff from his posts) and the rest of the members here. my itinerary were composed 100% from this thread and the previous Vs.

I would safely make this assumption -> 'most' of them in the F&B,Sales Outlets, <insert any tourism place/stuff> the locals do speak Chinese. I was so worried when i read most of the comments in the previous threads saying cannot survive without Korean language, but I manage to survive (enter all those korean only menu restoran,etc) by talking in mandarin. Perhaps i was lucky all the place i go the people speak mandarin. Hence my trip was very great and not much communication barrier.

Anyway, the rate currently for USD to KRW is 1130. I only changed rm500 to KRW, and RM6k to USD. the remaining 2kUSD i changed in myeongdong area for 1125 and 1130 (different days)

there's a suggestion in previous tereds on visiting those few famous places to eat (e.g myeondong gyoza) i went and the queue is VERY LONG.. waited for 20 mins then gave up ... so i think better go early in morning.

Had a haircut as well... they are very tentative & caring to your hair. after wash my hair, 2 girls will blow my hair at the same time, they were very careful with my hair and the way the hairstylist cut also macam so pro liddat.. give it a try if u have long hair. oh ya.. spoke chinese to them also. they ask me choose from their tablet pics of the korean actors hairstyles.

add : to indian or chinese buddhist cannot eat beef like my fren, don't worry most of the food (cheaper price) are pork. according to the local, beef are premium here so if u see the food price not that mahal, should be pork la i think. can find beef shabu shabu at up places like shinshigae.
