For hotels, you may try expedia.com.my or hotels.com.
I do book Hotel Biz Jogno, Insadong via Airasiago when they have 10% promo but I find the rate in expedia is a bit cheaper. Both also with free cancellation. I just booked Angel Hotel in Busan from exepdia.com.my with free cancellation too. The rates I have booked is cheaper than the guesthouses that I have enquired. Can check out the reviews in tripadvisor/agoda/booking.com

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

Thanks for your feedback in the EG sim card. Are your foing the reservation online?

Dataroam maxis is rm36/day is more expensive leh..I guess 1gb data is enough for a week and it cost around rm100

Any other suggestion?

I use S4 phone and buy the EG micro sim from 7-11 for 30k won 1gb with 10k won calls. You need to register with EG following the instruction given on the pack plus attaching your passport. In minutes they will able to activate for you. If you really keen to get the sim card, better get online (think is 25.5k won) & collect from k books shop when you arrive incheon. At least u can get help from them or they register for you straight away.
