just came home from Seoul after the horrible 5 hour train T___T i went to teddy bear museum (namsan tower) , dongdaemun, myeongdong.... and a few other places. if you're really into shopping go to myeongdong & dongdaemun... but if not try visiting the palaces... eg, kyongbukgong, and others..really interesting ! ^^

i didn't go to everland though, instead went to lotte world..because i heard from others that lotte world is better.. however, don't expect much from it because most of your time will be spent indoors because its Really freeezing cold !! plus, the out door themepark doesn't open until four in the evening because of the weather.. not sure if the same applies to everland.. be sure to check it out first ! ^^

wanted to go to mount sorak but wasn't feeling well, thus didn't have the chance to.. heard from my friends that it is really nice ^^

hope you enjoy your trip to seoul ! and becareful of the massive subway lines.. drove my bf crazy reading it (me, i never bothered @_@)

glad to be back home in busan <3 <3 !!

Yeah Cosmetics are cheap.. for example, Skin Food and Etude House. Skin Food, the prices can be almost half price compared to the prices in Malaysia..

regarding the weather, you should ask mr google about that.

but for seoul, i wore a trackpants + a pair of jeans, a tshirt, a sweater, and a winter jacket, a pair of cashmere gloves (important to have gloves!) plus a knitted scarf. The weather that time was below 0 as it was snowing.

As what you said I can feel the weather right now
Thanks for sharing.

Hi, i'm planning a trip to korea in june, i'd like to find out whether i can hire personal tourst guide there since i'm travelling alone? how much will it cost?

Guys whats the cheapest flight to go to Korea? Anyone can share experience?
I've searched a lot different airlines and cheapest I can come up is RM1800++.
I know they must be cheaper ones. Just couldn't find it.
Hope the experienced can point me in the right direction.

I think we can get cheaper flights if we fly from Manila using Cebu Pacific Air.

I want to go for a trip to Korea. I'm female, so I'd prefer a female too. Is there anyone who'd like to join me (or I join her/them)? Else is there an agency you would absolutely recommend?

from manila ?? as in KL > Manila > Korea ?

which travel agency offers the best travel package for Korea (exlc. Jeju island) ??

i know it cost around RM2900 to RM3100... per person all inclusive... so far i have checked with
Malaysian harmony s/b and reliance, and Apple holidays....

any recommended agency ??

i just found this on my facebook.. recently they are having promotion here.
