Haha but after X3, no longer M'sian pricing liao

Good...more...pls..haha including cheapest options to DMZ..This one for me is a must..wanna cross-over to North Korea haha..(Well I mean inside the DMZ metting room haha)

Wah u guy so kam chiong ..I dun really start my research yet although going end of the year haha

Just to add this info on Korea for those wanting to get more book/brochures and etc, can visit

korea Plaza
Gd Floor, Menara Hap Seng (Formerly MUI Plaza)
Jln P Ramlee. KL
Tel: 03-2072-2515
Email: klkoreaplaza@gmail.com
biz hr: Mon-Fr 9am to 6pm

Dun forget there is also a love or sex garden there too..haha Only for adults

The love/sex garden is actually listed in the small booklet given during the MITM fair..I was there also on Saturday.. Too bad the thicker 100pages guides no more dy...They ask me to goto Korea Plaza @ MUI plaza to get wor..

Actually the small booklets not bad liao..Got all the info on transport, MRT & rail lines, T cards, all the Malls reviews & attraction...I think the small booklet OK liao...Yeah I read the railway bioke line too..I think it's the town below Soraksan on the eastern side of Seoul. I heard nothing much there except the Soraksan.

Updated 1st page info from what I read here. Probably adding all wikimapia link to all attractions once I done my research.

Now shopping for Down Jacket for winter sub-aero temperature liao..must do it soon before the end of Mega Sales..haha..Any good recommendations on Down jacket? Universla travellers, Winter Time? Goin Places?

Wah i forgotten about winter boot liao..chamm another budget

Those 90% down & 10% normal fethar can kah> I think Mid Dec just start of winter mth & temp should be -3 to 5 C nia..so 90% down + 10% feather ok kua?..I heard 100% compressed down fether of 750 count & above can cost >RM1000 wor! like those spyder brand from what I saw in youtube?

So I think using a reasonable down jacket can liao?..Probably going to visit the 3 largest winter clothing stores soon...I heard can get for RM200 nia during sales which is NOW!

Huiyin- I think getting a down jacket no need so many layer of clothing liao..just a Tee 7 a down jacket can liao haha..but glove & wool sock is a must kua..For the boot..Thinking of normal leather shoe liao but sked walking on icy surface wor...

OK good tips there..Yeah you are right...thus going for budget but genuine down jacket liao & no boot haha..me also gonna go on budget. looking for motels stay now..thinking of not booking and walk in hopefully from your earlier tips on motel, it will not be full by that time..

China lotsa fake North face..I saw this youtube review on this fake duck feather rather than the real down feather North Face..apparently lotsa Canadian using it too bcos Amerika too pricey liao


I think buying from those established witer shops like Universal travellers, Goin Places & winter time should be good kua Haha been doing lotsa research on this down jacket rather than Korean attractions

BTW, huiyin, Yeah now I also taking short Korean lesson online from the site given by Seng007. From what I read here, most of Korean souvenirs & general merchantiels are expensive. except their cosmetic.. I am wondering whether their shoe cheap or not? Thinking getting one there.

Too bad guys dun go for cosmetic unless those sissy haha...Thinking of getting those Asics, reebok or Nike running shoe...or probably an off trail shoe for hiking too..Long time ago, Korea is famous for Reebok...I think now no more kua?

YEah also lor..cosmetic probably I go for black dye & also hair tonic to make my hair grow back haha

Mid Dec. Will be there for 6D6N (bcos flight back via AA -on the 5th nite till nxt Morning..haha)

Backpacking style-Yes. So motels & guesthouse is OK.

Thinking of going to
1) DMZ (main priority),
2) All the royal Joseon ancient palaces,
3) all the remaining 3 Seoul gates (Too bad the 4th western gate (Soedaemun) bombed by Japanese in Early 1900 liao & the 3rd recently opened 3rd Northern gate need 1 week advance permit??- hmnnn inside one of the palace compound wor) ,
4) Joseon kings & queens graveyard
5) abit of shopping at dongdaemun, isadong & probably COEX mall as well
6) Visit nearby ski resort but not skiing - dunno they allow ppl entry without skiing or not? (haha)
7) Nami Island - dunno what to do there also - snap photos of poplar trees?
8) Probably stay 1 nite at Incheon upon arrival?

Well these are my preliminary planning..still subject to change..For me I'm more towards nature,cultural & history thigies rather than shopping & makaning..haha

I have not. Been doing research for days dy..There are limited winter shops in KL i.e Universal Traveler (having lotsa branches & major malls in Klang Valley), Winter Time & also Goin Places (Probably the oldest & cheapest as I was told). Now is mega sales best timing liao...I think they are available at Ikano, One U, Sunway Pyuramid, Mid Valley & more..Shopping this weekend or within this few days haha..

Added on August 17, 2010, 3:14 pmAt 1st I have the same idea too but after checking my relatives, brother, & also friends, most of them having those Autumn/spring jacket that only can sustained 5C & above & anything below 5C..the down jacket...they don't have or kept at their oversea house liao..haizzz..Furthermore, dun really wanna borrow..later fren complain sweat very smelly

Actaully as what mentioned by huiyin, if dunwan down jacket, can use the normal fleece jacket (Wth syntetic fether or polyyester but you need lotsa layer of clothing..atleast 3 layers i.e 1st alyer long john, 2nd layer sweater & 3rd layer the jacket (Either fleece or syntectic) no need down liao like dat

But you must remember, the quoted Dec temperature at Seoul during mid Dec of -3 to 3 C is just a guidance, I was told temeprature during Dec can be as low as -20C!!
