Lol.. ok, I thought it shud be Jimjilbang. I tried twice. Once at Daejeon, another time at Busan where I went to the one which claimed to be the largest in Asia.

hi guys...i'm trying to book a domestic flight ticket to Jeju from Seoul n i'm trying to book through Jeju Air website...major problem is tht the wwebsite is in Korean so i was wondering if there is anyone out there who can give me a hand?....ur help is very much appreciated...thx thx thx in advance

Not true.

Maybe my area is more expensive, but most normal dishes like haejanggug, kalbitang, etc. cost at least 5,000-6,000 won. A shared meal like those cooked in a big wok or shallow pot will cost around 10,000 for each person. I'm not sure about the prices in tourist areas in Seoul, though.


You need to rent ski wear and skis. There's a thick water-proof jacket and pull over trousers. You'll need goggles, and maybe ear muffs if you can't stand the cold. Maybe a balaclava as well. Nights can go down to -20C but that's usually after 4-5am, day time weather maybe from -6C to above 0C, depending on the weather. If the sun is shining, you'll actually get some heat from it.

I don't think most of the shops are closed during winter, especially not at my place. It's cold, but I love the cold. Maybe you will too. It depends on the individual. Personally, I can walk around in short-sleeves during winter and I cycle and hike in the snow a lot. However, I met a Malaysian here who has severe nosebleeds every day because of the cold. So, be prepared for the worst if you can't stand cold weather.

It's expensive because it's the most popular tourist spot in Korea. However, if you're a Korean, then it's not really that expensive. 10,000 won entrance fee to a Korean is like a Malaysian paying RM10 back home.

Just bring proper winter clothes and a lot of moisturizer will do. It needs to be applied on ur whole body or else u would have rashes like me. Haha.. took so long for the scars to go away.
