That's very weird because the same handphone I use when I travel everywhere including Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Macau,Jeddah, Madinah & Mekah. Why not working in Korea?? Very funny ler

Don't worry, most of the restaurants they can speak mandarin. Some even basic English. Like what Stimix said, their subways and directions/maps are written in english and chinese also. Do remember to take your hotel card just in case you need to travel back to the hotel by cab. It'll be easier. And if happens that you've met non chinese/english speakers, just learn some basic korean words, hi, bye, pork, chicken, thanks, beef, fish, vege

As for the package, i think its a bit tiring considering you have to change hotel and travel quite far. Mt. Sorak is quite far from the city. Everland you'd probably spend at least half a day there already. Day 4 a lot of shopping at their "compulsory" outlets which is wasting time. 1 hour in Myeongdong is definitely not enough! I personally don't like to walk around Dongdaemun, so to my friends as well. very crowded and not nice to shop. Just like Sg. Wang. I still think you should go free and easy to enjoy the flexibility and adventure around the city by your own. That way you have more freedom and also maximize your holiday value and experience (see more things, eat their local food which tour does not provide, travel around their suburb areas and meet more people).


RM 2,400.00 for me. My gf spent more than that because she shops. Only is Seoul city itself I stayed in Namsan Guesthouse 3, recommended Book in advance so you can get a cheaper rate. Mine was around RM 155.00 per night for two person. Average about RM 20-40 per meal per person, depending what you eat though. A normal sandwich or toast sandwich for our breakfast already cost us RM16-18 per person . Go there don't save on food ler, eat only. Try whatever that they can offer. Money can find later I spent all on their food, especially streets food, barbeque and etc. Shopping, mehh...expensive and not necessary (if you're a girl different lah, they will spend on cosmetics). Enjoy food and sight seeing more value

Yeah, of all countries i've been to also no prob but Korea seems to be a bit different i don't know why also. I could be wrong but as what we experience is that we need 3G network then it'll be fine.

I think you have to bring a 3G phone. I brought my iPhone, and with 3G turned off I couldn't get any signal. Once I turned on 3G -- full bar!

Btw, I found that money changers in Namdaemun offered much better rates than Myeongdong (1130 vs 1120)

for those who plan to visit Korea one day,dun worry abt communication problem..if u do ur homework properly lah. got pictures on the Menu,price of items are properly written out.. simple english like three-thousand? four-thousand? is more than enuf..to nego price of coz..lol..

I'm invading Japan end of this year!

ic. thx alot.. so if going to Jeju the price will be more expensive due to haf to sit domestic flight.

in ur opinion, do u think Lotte World n Everland is worth to pay a visit? it's like those Disneyland or jz normal amusement park? better 2 go on spring or autumn season? really in dilemma cz i like to c d flower blossom n oso the feel of leaf fall lolz

oh yea ur Namsan Guesthouse 3 is nt same as Namsan 1 & 2? gt any different? sorry if i'm asking too much cz i wanna plan properly b4 going.. dun wanna end up a mess later

Hai...


Would a idea of visiting Seoul on Winter is nice? My bf want to feel the winter season and i wanted to play the snow though.....


If possible, please list what we can do there for 6 days, 5 night, where a nice/ place to stay during winter season and also did i need to buy the tickets early / booking the hotel/ motel (whichever are cheapest).


and did RM2500 is enough per person?

Please someone share their experience with me regarding winter season.

Thanks

Stories from friends, visiting Korea during winter also nice. But it depends on you and your bf. The weather is too cold and most of the time you have to stay indoor due the cold weather. I cannot tahan winter and I learned from my trip to China during winter. My friends told me it was too cold until she felt her flesh was shredded by the wind. Not to forget layer of clothing. So it depends on the individual preference.

i like Everland actually, its beautiful. Much better than HK's Oceon Park. It's their version of Disneyland . Walk around during Spring will be good because of the cold and chill weather. Autumn i'm not too sure. But every season they will have different theme. You can check for more info on their website EVERLAND. They have all sorts of info there. Print the discount coupon from this website for a cheaper price ticket

Namsan 3 is a new building, 2 and 1 are old ones but in terms of room space is slightly bigger. 3 is new with more rooms available. No worries you can PM me i'll try to help as much as i could

You need to have a 3G phone there ... no 3G, no talk ...

Not to mention, it is really hard to travel around during winter. Everything on your body is heavy A few layers of clothings, Jackets, travel bags, water.

If you have sufficient winter clothing that can withstand atleast temperature up to minus 20C.. No problem going there during winter. U surely enjoy the winter there for sure. Seoul also my coldest winter experience so far..enduring temp minus 15C haha.. Even second taking out my glove to snap picture..my fingers almost instantly freeze not to mention my ears.. haha..

Really?
Well my bf saying he can stand it. I do believe him, cause no matter what the weather situation here at KL, he will use full aircond n still said

"You didnt feel hot"

We are different. Thus i thought of bringing him to go to Seoul during winter, to let he know what i feel when he turn on the car aircond til the end... Haha...

However, i really need to know, all the budget and what to do there during winter, apart from skiing... Please guide, anyone, who had any ideas....

Settle already.

Even our normal house fridge temp only ~ 4C only and the freezer only ~ minus 4C the most...Try below that haha.. Anyway for good almost simialr winter experience but at minus 6C, spend abit and try out Genting Highalnd snow house or even I-City b4 going haha
