I took airasia and my flight touched down at 9.05pm that night...i think this options is feasible, except if u take dinner at the airport before departing to seoul.

Last week-lor..but qualiy of the sole as you can see is a simple design not like those sold in UT..abit thicker & deeper sole If ypu're lucky you can find those thicker sole like UT ~ 13Kwon..I saw this type ~ Namdaemun too..Cheapest so far 6900won @ namdaemun...Boyzz that's why I just luv Namdaemun haha

But for girls, Myeogdong is the best..I just cheack similar facial mask at Pyramid just now ~ RM8.90 each. In Korea, certain not so famous brand ~ 1000won but avg 3000won..so almost the same- price-lah

Wow thanks for the photos! I was asking one of the local online shops whether they have stocks on this kind of similar boots but all ran out. And it was priced more than RM100 with shipping :-\

Did you check the sizes? Do they come in bigger sizes like 39, 40 and etc? I hope they have cos of my long feet.. Lol. So cheap @ 6900won, omg omg!

Ya I also hope they'll still sell winter clothes and shoes by next year Jan and end Feb.. else I gonna be shivering there!

Actually, winter shoe is not a necessity.. i hv experience -20C on 15/12. Still Ok wth normal leather shoe & wool sock..haha. However since my leather sole is not so good, I almost fell down few times at Nami island snowy soil

LOL then confirm my suede wedged boots cannot make it. On normal ground (esp in uncarpeted office floor) few times I slipped luckily didn't fall. :-x

They will still sell. Went there in late 2008 Jan-Feb and they are still selling those. But are you sure you need it? I never wore leather shoe because my parents said its warmer wearing sport shoe. In fact I was wearing Timberland wet shoe which is very airy but the wool sock keep the cool away. Better wear thicker jeans as this is where I think I suffer most. Wearing thin jeans from Yishion, ontop of wool long john but still feel cool.

timberland is very good for tahan all this weather i thought,but i got no choice don have any shoes,only got those fashionable shoe from zara or onitsuka tiger only,still thinking how to tahan the cold,maybe the slipping part try to be careful abit maybe still can.

Dun worry-lah, Seoul folks also wear simple non-leather canvas shoes..Only naive tourists are the one going for winter shoe haha..just check the daily commuters wear from this MRT photos I curi-curi captured..Can see from far that guy is promoting winter buff inside MRT haha..should hv get it from him..only 3000won

wah can la,i see the local also wear those converse shoes almost like what i wear.

haha..you can see whatever type of shoes been wear by locals but for some m'sian tourist, They even show off their winter boots, winter stockings & etc even at LCCT haha..beh tahan..But those ppl in Seoul so simple. Even their Ajuma & ajussi wearing simple clothing esp in Namdaemun..No fashion at all just like me paiseh..haha

Just check few locals wears:


At namdaemun Market:


Add another MyeongDong pasar malam scene..MyeonDong really remided me of Taipei XiMending haha:

Oh nice photos! Thanks

Now that you mentioned, I remember I still have a pair of hi-cut canvas converse shoes (calf-length). Am already conscious wearing it here cos its white but I think to save $$ for the trip, might as well wear it in South Korea

Yeah, I think Converse is quite the in-thing in SK just as much as Crocs here I guess, haha

My 2nd part of itineraries sharing & pic spams now using digicam haha , days ago was wth my handphone cam.

Start wth Incheon airport http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incheon_International_Airport .Voted the best world airport since 2005!!

1) The inner of AAX A330-300 plane to Incheon- basic & simple but sufficient leg room. Taken my early prebooked dinner (RM17/pax) ~ 5:30pm M'sian time


2) AAX Arriving at Incheon airport satelite buiding ~ 9:10pm (8:10pm M'sian time). Similar to KLIA setting. From wikimapia, this satelite buiding is still under construction!! (i think probably completed ~ 2005 as the airport opened ~ 2001).


3) upon arriving at satelite buiding, you will be lead to the connecting subway train to main terminal (KLIA is skytrain)



4) Inside the moving subway tunnel below the airport tarmac:


5) Main Terminal Duty free area after the departure immigration (taken on the way back to KL)


6) Arrival Hall (level1 - actually ground floor)..Nothing special. compare wth KLIA which is much better. The convenience shop (Not sure Family Mart or GS25 located far left opposite the Info counter. You can buy T-money & to-up value here. 30,000won is sufficient for the next 5 days in Seoul. Infact got abit bal sumore For those wanna rent phone it's right opposite the arrival gate. Shinhan bank exchange counter is b4 the gate so better change there unless you want to shop around after the gate - Hana bank at departure hall having the best rate to me since I can't chk the Shinhan bank.


7) Departure hall (Level3) - Well, It's as huge as Swanabumi airport in BKK (probably abit shorter) but I still prefer our KLIA departure hall..much better


8) For those wanna take AREX (probably connected to Seoul station few more days from now according to wikipedia)..Follow the signboard as it's located opposite the main terminal..This futuristic walkway was taken on my way from AREX train terminal overlooking main terminal:


9) And AREX terminal (This one taken using Phonecam)..and yes..This is where I feel so special about Incheon airport and wth the design and sophistication which is something out of this world..darn..I hv to agree this train terminal is the best looking that I ever seen :


To be continued...

Hahaha...

You cannot compare like that lar...
So cold there around 6-7pm especially if got wind...

I was there in my full winter suite and when the wind came, I was shivering...

Then a pretty korean girl walked past me wearing just mini skirt and simple long sleeve shirt. Im not sure whether she was wearing long john for upper body but lower body confirm just very long but thin sock (like japanese) and winter boots. I even had my ears covered.
