QUOTE(jkngo2003 @ Feb 27 2014, 04:13 PM) at south korea, do they accept credit card at shopping complex and dining? Seoul is very credit card friendly place... even small makan place accepts CC (without the "you-no-cash" look)using credit card got better rate than cash? bring korea won or ringgit malaysia or usd is more valuable to korea? thanks  |

QUOTE(apple_peng @ May 6 2014, 10:24 AM) ya. hahaha. my bf keep saying dun convert. 1000won is just Rm1 only. Is cheap cheap cheap. Not Rm3. LOL That's how you should set your mindset when travelling... use dollar-to-dollar comparison (drop the currency).Or else you won't be able to eat or drink or buy anything in your overseas travels. |

QUOTE(kca @ Jul 20 2014, 07:58 PM) I exchanged at money changer in mid valley at 3.20 yesterday. Can I use credit card in lotte mart and faceshop? Credit card rate is definitely much better. You can use CC practically anywhere in Seoul... even at 7-11  |

QUOTE(eugene9201 @ Jun 5 2015, 12:19 PM) MyTeksi I scare later no teksi around my area want to fetch... I don't have buffer time leh.. finish job at 1-2pm then need to reach airport before 4pm. That's where MyTeksi is cool... urgent rush hour is best to use them. You'll be surprise how many taxis are in your area.To be safe, I booked a taxi from http://www.taxi2klia.com/home.php Thanks for the suggestion! I will use MyTeksi app when I'm not that in the rush to a place next time.  |

QUOTE(syy @ Apr 19 2016, 11:01 AM) Hi, need some advice regarding weather in Seoul. Will be traveling with kids (youngest 5 years old) in end of Oct. From the forecast it's about 16-4 Celsius. Now, some of my friends said it's cold, must prepare long john, down jackets etc. But others said it's just nice and chill only, long shirt plus thick jacket will do. So I'm in dilemma, how should I prepare for the trip. Never been to cold country before so everything have to buy and I don't wanna over bought. TIA. How cold/hot is dependent on the individual fat content... if you are FAT, you don't need long john, if you are Chopstick size, then you probably need it.    Buy at Seoul if what you brought is not sufficient. Buy when necessary. This post has been edited by ronnie: Apr 19 2016, 11:05 AM |
