Purchase T-Money card once you reach Korea. I get groceries & pay for transportation through it. Very convenient. Dongdaemun has over 20ish 'mall' For girls, 1 night surely not enough. But for guys, well...i think only 2 or 3 malls. Indeed a shopping haven for bargains.

Hi, I am wondering that the link http://www.everland.com/web/multi/english/...nd_Coupons.html
of discount coupon said "up to 4 persons", maximum 4 , right? I have 3, am I entitled to discount coupon? rclxub.gif
*
Yes. 3person can use..if u got 5person that got 1 kenot use. smile.gif
but do noted that using group coupon u have to go to a special counter on the right side of the entrance..hard to guide here..u juz show the group coupon to any of the girl standing at the counter then they will point u to the group counter.

There is one money changer in Dongdaemun that buys MYR and the exchange rate is the same as those money changers in Malaysia.
Not Woori Bank. Woori Bank doesn't buy MYR unfortunately. I went to one of their branches in Gangnam last year and was told they do not buy MYR in cash.

Anyway, the banks that buy MYR (cash) are Hana Bank, Shinhan Bank and KEB. KEB usually is very expensive. Hana Bank's exchange rate is good only if you can provide them a recent Asiana Airlines boarding pass.
*
ei..how come different situation from me one.. i can ONLY change MYR at WOORI Bank..but not KEB wor..lol..in one of the Dongdaemum branch bank. smile.gif

for those who going,do take note they dun really accept AUD although AUD almost the same as USD.. can try anyway no harm.

too many nice hostel/backpackers recommended by our experience travelers d..the most important is, get a place to sleep that is as near to any station as possible, decent price n some good review will do..coz taking their subway system crazily wont cost bomb.. equivalent to KL's LRT price.
