nope. i know the price different, but for me, juz aint worth the hassle to put 1 bottle into my bag since its easily found in here
i mean, unless that is a special brand / version that is not available in here.

In Seoul right now. Autumn foliage so beautiful! Cant stop taking pics.

Weather is quite cold but tolerable as long as I don't stand still outdoor for too long lol.

REPOST

hey there guys..
will be visiting Jeju Island another 2 weeks time..
a bit worried in regards to rental car..
most of friends advised to use KT Kumho but lately their website is upgrading and having issues to register and reserve..
have anyone use AJ Rent-A-Car lately?

i dunno. some uni lol. my korean friend send to me one

I can't give you an answer but I searched and found hertz offering the rate that is competitive also. Maybe you want check out?

Now that autumn foliage is peaking the queue to and back from Nami was CRAZY. But worth it. Cant imagine weekends.

Flood of peoples even during weekdays at Seoul. The autumn weather here is nice

Anyone here hiked up Odaesan? I want to know whether the path is mainly rocks or they have made steps? Deciding whether to buy special hiking boots or just stick to sneakers.

Hi,
Any idea where giving the best rate for RM to Korea Won? Someone advise me to change RM to US$. When in Korea, change US$ to Korea Won.

Thanks

If you change twice you pay twice for the exchange rate. Better just directly change to Won.

Midvalley ~ i buy from them 3.175.

My mother made a payment using RHB credit card in Korea ~ and come back check the statement the rate is only 3.1108.

Check my SC credit card the exchange rate is 3.2 something..

it depends the exchange you get from RM to USD. if high why take the hassle to change to USD. better change to Won. unless you can get better USD rate, then different case la.. btw, if you exchange USD to Won have better rate in Korea

Which money changer you change from in Mid Valley?

Now the rate is quite good. Last July I change RM 3.32

I thought all VISA card exchange rate is the same? Last time I use this website (http://usa.visa.com/personal/card-benefits/travel/exchange-rate-calculator.jsp) to calculate exchange rate, see which card got rebate/promotion then use which card

By the way, I think VISA exchange rates are almost always better than the normal exchange rate

Anyone tried hot pack from Daiso? Read somewhere that those in Daiso are not hot enough...

When are you coming to Korea?
Right now still not cold even to use hot packs but normally we buy hot packs from gmarket.
Like this.
Gmarket 핫펙

I don't use hot packs myself but I think most tourists come to Korea they feel very cold because the clothings are not suitable.

NEVER, I repeat, NEVER buy from Universal Travellers. Those are expensive and ugly and doesn't work well.

Uniqlo heat tech inner wear is very popular in Korea as well as their down jackets. They look nicer nowadays, last time when Uniqlo introduced their down jackets, they look like black rubbish plastic bags in Malaysia but people still wear them.

I will go end of Dec and doing countdown for new year there

Can tourist buy things from G-market?

This is how I plan to wear:
Heat Tech Shirt & Pants + Long Sleeve Shirt + Jeans + Down Jacket

Should be enough right? Going to buy one pair of heat tech only because not cheap and only wearing once

I'm planning to buy hot pack because I will be arranging quite a lot outdoor activities, just in case, we get too cold

Don't quite remember, but if not mistaken they are all selling almost the same rate at there.

http://www.moneymaster.com.my/

Regards to the credit card payment at there, not sure why RHB exchange rate was so low.. i'm quite surprise when check the statement.

Went there last dec (Xmas period)...this is what I wear. Turtle neck/long sleeves heat tech for inner, 2nd layer fleece jacket & below knee down feather jacket, n scarf (thick one or wool)...Must wear beannie too that possible cover yr ear too and thick wool gloves. My down feather jacket was bought in Shanghai in a wholesale area but branded to d local ppl years ago & I tot it wouldnt be that good however it really kept me warm throughout the 10 days there even when I went to Ski resort....N yes if wear jeans is ok but u gotta have a long john or heat tech pants inside. However, if u go dong dae mun or nam dae mun u can get their stockings like leggings or baju for 10,000won with nano technology which can keep u warm

U can get a heat pad in many sizes n place them in your jacket pocket to keep u warm.

thanks +h0m@s for the feedback..
anyway, i had make booking with them..

The leaves have turned yellow and red at this point. Beautiful colours spotted in Nami Island.

Yup, loved it very much!
