Hello,

Should we change money to USD first then only change to WON?
or straight change to KRW here?

Hi stimix,

thanks..you highlighted the point to me..i nearly forget we will reach at night,,
hehe..then I better change to Won..else, no money,cant communicate with them..not a very good way to start my holiday..lol

Hello,

for those that going during winter,any tips on skincare to bring?
Worry the weather there too cold..

Oh thanks..i read there is one mask by The Face Shop, Raspberry Sleeping Mask..
Wonder if should buy it here and bring there..to lock in the moisture..

Hahah..ok..got it..means wait till get there to buy it..hehe

Hi,

anyone know is it easy to get a money changer in Seoul? Plan to change to usd instead of won.
Is it adviceable?

yea..cos now MYR is stronger ..USD dropping..
furthermore, you can use USD in various country..
eg, if you changed too much WON, and you cant finish..if you change back to MYR, the value drop.
But if you have USD as backup, you can use it at another country eg Taiwan, etc..its widely accepted..

A bit off topic here.. for Taiwan NT, its more worth it to change to USD first as MYR -TW rate in Malaysia is bad..

My plan is to change around RM2k to won, then the rest will bring USD.
Problem is I dunno how easy to find money changer in Seoul.

Precisely..any forumer in Korea now?can help to clear our doubts?

Hi Carmien,

Change with money changer at BB should be safe?

Hi,
37000 sounds much better than ours.
Our hotel provide the package to Vivaldi park for 100k won including to and fro transport and equipment rental.should we take it?

Oh thanks for the advice..we are not sure where is Vivaldi park too..
Btw,where we can wear the hanbok to take photos?is it at the palace?
Btw,is my itinerary in the previous page sounds workable?

Hi derwyn,

my friends said don't want to go everland as it will be too cold.
Is it true ?is it a waste not to go everland?
