why mention of electronic? does s. korea fomous for their electronic too?
Does it cheaper to buy it there.? I know about ginseng and cosmetic is somehow something you might want to consider buy since its cheaper and better quality there.

Also together with the new promo to Seoul, AA also lauched their new 'Premium Flatbed seat'. Check it out;

any guy's thing to buy there?

can check here, what to buy @ http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/SH/wha...y/whatToBuy.jsp

very informative website

thanks for the link.

might get a few of those souvenirs then..and some SNSD stuff..? but back to my question...rm1000 too much?

how much did you guys bring 'just to spend' last time?

thanks for the specific link...
It is in fact very informative.

So, although South Korea is manufacture of main brand in the world, but still
buying any goods directly from South Korea is not recommended for the reason of warranty, voltage frequency, pre-installed software and etc.

actually there are many things dat u can buy overthere...hehe
the survenir is a must i think...u can buy at Insadong (but the price is sligthly expensive)
korea is heaven for shoppers i think...because u can find a lots lots of latest fashion...
if u are SNSD fans just like me...when u go to myeongdong don't forget to go to SPAO level 4 for
official merchandise..i bought Fanny phone strap at 12,900w = RM36.00; mouse pad 7000, and my fren also
request me to buy them SUJU SPAO tshirt for the next concert hehe...well it's really worth it...i spend almost 200000w at SPAO only...

as for me, i spend around RM1.5k for shopping only...hehe

speaking of voltage...can our adapters work over there? i googled and this is the pic of their pins.




hahaha...but i will be going next week..so its close to winter...i don't think those fashion is suitable in malaysia i guess.

noted for the SNSD merchandise. thanks. maybe buy yoona or seohyun punya. SPAO is the name of a shop?

ooo..so if a girl can spend 1.5k..i guess i can live with 800?

Booked 14th June-21st june 2011

soloing at the moment, anyone travel between that period we can tag along and plan something up

Phewww.. atlast only 1mth ++ and now only now booked the hotel haha..

Comparing innostel & Agoda..decided on agoda- cheaper! Got Namsan Park hotel for ~RM667 for 4 nites. If using innostel ~ RM200/nite. Very near to Nandaemun & also mere ~200m walking from MRT.

However Agoda really having less choices on budget motels...Was thinking of Kara too due to the location to all the historic palaces but having diff weekend rates & also the fact that it was labelled as Love motel..

Bring Type 'C' plug

is this the same as our 2 pin plug? no right?

What makes you say not same ? I don't see any different at all ?

How come visit korea site no info about Seoul street's food like Taiwan ? Or they don't have it ?

@zstan : yea i was studying there from last yr sept, just came home this june/july. tak ingat LOL.

i guess 800 should be enough lah providing you dont need to pay for food etc how many days are u going again? coz when i was there i was only given rm700 per month... lol. and im a girl which means i go shopping for clothes quite alot .. hehehe

if you are some hardcore korean band/group fan then there are TONS of souviners / merchandise for you to blow your money on, like what one of our other forummer said. oh watch out for those CD's /DVDs.... alot of them are the korean version which u can only get from korea.. last time my friend told me to buy some super junior CD..

regarding the plug point... its different from our two pin i think . but you can just bring the universal adapter..

hi guys..im going to Korea in December...

I was thinking what is the currency? im still very confuse the huge 00000 figures....

And i was told to i a must to tip the Tours agent and the driver?
