hostel name Bigbang hostel / girl generation. both are same company with different name.

Yea, you can use it for unlimited times for 3 days, but where to you plan to go around in S.Korea?

SIM card charges are good there, not too expensive, it's only the limitation of the 3-days-stay that put a lot of ppl off. If there's a way around it or you found a carrier that allows use of it, please do let us know here.. =)

I think most Iphones and samsung supports it, we asked them about Sony while we were there and they just say "no no, no Sony"... *sweat*... haha

just want to ask, is it worth to rent olleh egg wifi? i'm going to seoul this end of oct. 1st timer.. just wonder is it worth to rent one? only use for 6days.

Although wifi is available and there such as café, restaurant, even Sinchon street. Actually you need to buy something to get the password at many places. For me, I use the free wifi egg from the guesthouse. I used it everywhere I went (naver map to get to where I want to go). It will be worth it especially if you can’t find the place or need to google something suddenly or check in foursquare wink.gif And most of the Korean don’t speak English >< so it's better to have a wifi egg with you.
*
Alright. Will consider to rent one. smile.gif

not including shopping? 3 adults?
depends on ur hostel costs. whether you can stay in backpackers style or a more proper hostel which cost more.
and what kind of meal you aiming for each meal?
*
yes 3adults. actually i already book accommodation. deposit paid and balance around rm1k . hmmm. not a shopping person but maybe shopping budget rm1-2k? and i prefer cheap meal. since korea expenses quite high. per person meal can get rm20?

btw rm7k-8k can cover up meal,transport,attractions?
