worried about Everland lol! hope its fully functional. sad if they close certain part. nami island should be beautiful too.as far as i know, day temperature might reach around 10C. minus only for the night! anyone want to confirm that?
hopefully, when our first batch AA flyers to Inchieon back here again can tell the story of how they survive the first night. since all AA flyers will arrive there in the same time!!! |

QUOTE(huiyin_hsu @ Oct 1 2010, 01:00 AM) In winter i was in lotte world.. And that time it was already below zero.. The day before it was snowing summore.. Tried to play the outdoor games... And i swear my face got like.. Frozen in the air.. The wind is crazy+swinging on the ride.... Crazy... Reading this make me change my plan from Everland to Lotte, since I'm going to Seoul in February. There goes my T-Express ride And that is only a small outdoor portion of the themepark... Imagine at everland where 70% is outdoor >_< However there are some of my friends who went to everland during winter... They hv like slides and all i guess during winter.. Its a long bus ride to everland.. So goodluck riding the bus with all ur winter jackets T____T coz i remember taking the public bus home with no seats available... Having to stand all the way back for an hour to the city is not fun sigh.. I visited everland in spring and it was still cold... But rides were still bearable lol. When i was still in korea my ex bf visited and we lived in love motels.. They may appear to look kinda dodgy but it is a cheap place to live la.. Read the info on the previous pages... Ive wrote about love motrls before...  |

South Korean cell phone carriers utilize highly specialized CDMA technology. Unlocked GSM cell phones can not used there. So, phone rental is the most cost efficient.

Does Kara Hotel (as mention by nejin) is same with Kaya hotel?. I'm saving Kaya Hotel as one of my option during my visit to Seoul.
Also, traditional room ondol type compare with regular bed, which one is more comfortable? Comfortable to sleep, back ache  ? I've read that ondol type room has a heated mat, but not sure what kind of heater when we use regular bed room. I think heated room is important since I'll visit Seoul during winter.This post has been edited by koinibler: Oct 23 2010, 06:47 PM |

My guess its a begin of Spring, so a little jacket should be enough.
On another note, South Korea will hosting F1 racing today for the first time at Yeongam state. As far as I know its quite far from Seoul. Hope to get a good racing action today. Will watch it on TV. Hopefully, will watch it live there. Wonder what else is Yeongam attraction |

i bet airasia is a cheapest and less hassle if you fly from malaysia.
i don't see any other airline compete in term of price yet in this region |

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; http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=...3802&sec=nation |

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. |

previously, i read a discussion here regarding smartphone,
then i just wondered if the capacitive touchscreen of smatrtphone will work in the cold weather plus snow. I read somewhere, capacitive not work very well in cold wheater. If can't use as a phone, might be using its wifi and etc. |
