I will go end of Dec and doing countdown for new year there  rclxm9.gif

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

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.

Just for sharing...if you want book ktx from seoul to busan, book 1 month ahead and look for train 353 @ 10:20, price is krw43k+. I not sure which other timings have the same price but I chk on most of the other timing, price is krw50k+.

Same goes to nanta show, book ahead and you get 40% discount if the timetable suits you. I book mine on a saturday morning show at krw24k. 2nd floor seat but I read reviews the theather is not very big and any seating doesn't matter. Anyway, just want check it out for first time with that great discounts

Both also allow cancellation few days before actual date

Saw Nanta show last Dec. Very interesting for I hv not seen such show. Cant remember the title. Just a warning...the props are real. Like what I saw was some cooking in the kitchen...therefore those of you who are seated downstair near d stage may get bits n pieces from what is going on live on stage and sometimes even water too.. May be u wanna sit far away or upstairs. Had a great view too from upstairs

I will be going to Korea in May. Thought of buying a SmartPhone there. Will it work in Malaysia?

I remember I had my old Nokia 5800 while I was in Korea back in 2012 running on Maxis PrePaid. I was able to receive call from Malaysia.

2 more weeks for my turn to korea. its been 10 years+ since i was there so i'm kinda forgotten how many layers of clothes did i wear. i only wear a tshirt + jacket back then when i was in melbourne in winter and it's still alright. probably i need to get a thicker clothes for this korea trip?

Well if u go Dong daemun or namdaemun...looks for nano technology tights...really keep u warm with just that piece...cost abt KWN10000....U definately need a scarf, gloves n a bip n also need to cover yr ear too. Buy a heat pad while u r there at the convenient store. Can last for few hrs

Really freezing cold cos of wind.N suddenly we get snow tht came like hailstorm. N was there during Xmas period n I guess Jan is cold too. By the way, I was wearing high boots n definately help a lot. Some ppl that I went with did not wear boots but sport shoes their toes were freezing.

Well gotta keep myself warm all the time, dont wanna get sick after holiday :-)

Hi , I plan to go jisan ski resort on my own but am not so clear on the rental.

Basically I want a simple SKI experience with my gf, is SKI CLOTHING compulsory? What if we're wearing our own winter clothing?
Can i have the breakdown of cost for Gear rental all those?

Thank you for your reply !

Yr winter clothing is not meant for winter sports activity.Yes u gotta rent all gear at ski resort itself.Sorry dont hv d breakdown n probably u need a coach too.
