guys..100% sure our ATM card like Maybank can withdraw cash from Korean ATM with a RM8 charge? wonder what is the rate..

so right now the conclusion is that its cheaper to change in Korea, do they take RINGGIT?

i am going on Tuesday.

EDIT: I just read the voucher book posted by a member here..banks in Korea charges a fee for changing money...

Gah... guys.. i'm trying to find 3D2N Package for Yongpyong Ski .... anyone know which website providing it? The visitkorea website has it but I have problems paying it through paypal...

the last time i was in busan , i used to go to Shinhan Bank's global ATM to use my Maybank ATM card to withdraw money. i dont think they charge RM8.. u can just withdraw how much you want then the charges is just counted by the exchange rate.... but you HAVE TO MAKE SURE that you go to maybank and change your ATM card to international.. if not maybank will block your card then you'll have to get a new one (based on experience seriously)

Please check for me:
What is the colour of the trees now at nami island and Seoul city.

Thanks.

Xhange rate since few days ago not to M'sian nenefit liao..getting worst..Whatever currency now also better than RM dy..sigh.

seoul weather not so bad..just wear long john n layer with shirt & jacket/blazer..scarf & cap can buy here..

do not go to yong sun..waste ur time only..price almost the same in malaysia..i however bought lumix gf1 with penkek lens price 750k won..i think cheaper than malaysia howver i got warranty in japanese now not sure can use or not the waranty..the sales man said it is international but don now if its true??

Exchange rate is 1.08 usd at airport. 1.05 at hotel. Still cheaper to change at malaysia I think.

Air Asia sucks by the way.

Sachoom show is niceeeeee!!must watch!! Remember take pic with sexy n pretty dancers too!

Ok I wan go itaewon Liao.

Wait wait wait....what about the weather and color of trees in Seoul?
Do share why AA sucks. No on board entertainment ?

If you mean 1USD=1,080won then it is = RM2.88/1000won in Malaysia based on 1USD=RM3.11. Any commission charge ?

The official exchange rate (selling) is 1USD=1,117.70won as of today. (RM2.78/1000won)

From my research, taking AREX + MRT for Incheon airport transfer is the cheapest.

Inchoen(3500won)->Gimpo(1200won)->down town seoul station
Total 4,700won per person. But have to do two train transfers


Limo bus is around 10,000won per person. More expensive but with on the ground view of Seoul city and no need transfer.

Suitable for Air Asia traveler whose arrival is 9.15pm. After immigration clearance, should be after 10pm. If you are on shoe string travel budget, below link are information for sleeping in Incheon airport.

I have successfully booked Grape Garden House for 2 days. Thanks!

Got lost in dongdaemun. Can't find the night Market. So hard ti find food also. Sobs. Now finally found one shop next door to eat chinese food.

How long does it take if we use the train to get to seoul?...I think the airport limo takes about 70-90 minutes and since we can only leave the airport bout 10pm, it will be tough finding the accomodation in midnight in freezing temperatures.hehe

Its still expensive. I wish aa group has enough time to travel to seoul. then when morning come, can already start day one. if not, day one still at the airport

when is the last train to gaimpo airport?
anybody know?

I'm going to choose just one of the show. hope its a great one

AREX train to GIMPO last call at 12am.
http://www.arex.or.kr/jsp/eng/time/time_ta..._cd=00&x=27&y=6

For my hotel...I hv to switch MRT twice. sigh.

1st after GIMPO, I hv to board MRT line 9 (But most guide said line 5 but how come no guidance to line 9!!)..From Line 9 at Gimpo..kena stop at Dongjak & switch to line 4 b4 reaching my destination at Hoeyon station...

Very troublesome but this way..easier for me to walk to my hotel compare to taking bus..You really dunno where they gonna drop you. Unless u know where is the dropping point, OK-lah

Another better way is taking the express train (Not MRT) direct to Seoul station....That station just 1 station b4 my hotell...probably good idea too

For lesser transfer use line 5. Click Gimpo (departure station) then click (Heohyeon) arrival station then click "Minimum Transfer" . Distance 28km,Time 57min Fare:1200won

Wow..This is the 1st time you really done an extensive research Last year you 100% rely on travel agent for your Taiwan trip

Tnx..very useful tool. Bookmarked liao

BTW, after checking, Although the nearest but required 3 switching Gimpo>Singgil>Seoul Whereas on line 9 only 2 Gimpo>Dongjak wor..

Yalor........Wasted so much precious executive time of mine. How nice if I can go Korea after you.

Got pros & cons also without travel agent although I hate them haha...

Wth travel agent you no need to worry on:

1) Waiting time for MRT & buses
2) Pre-travelo research
3) Lost & can't communicate wth locals..esp in Korea
4) No one explaining to you the significant of the attractions you visited
