Hi guys~ Newbie here.. Been reading your comments on trip to Korea and I am going there myself in February for two weeks and the thing that I worried most is clothing.. >< I have fleece turtleneck to act as thermal, a leggings under my jeans, thhermal glove, a woolen sweater and a ZARA scarf (bday gift).

My biggest concern would be the down.. Im not sure of the temperature in Feb and my dad REFUSED to let me buy in Msia coz i dun usually go winter holiday often and ask me to borrow from my aunt (which design is aunty-ish) and I'm only 21~ >< I have a thick cotton coat and I was wondering if, paired up with the gears above, would it last me from the airport to hotel? So I can buy a proper one itself in SK?

Its definitely cheaper than Msia if u know where to look and my friend (a Korean) would tell me where.. ><

do u think it would weather it for at least awhile?

Thanks for all ur opinions!

if you can't speak korean, having 5 Ph.Ds won't get you a job.  laugh.gif
but the cost of living there is also 3 times more than malaysia.

Haha.. True.. TOPIK IS the Korean language proficiency test and to get a job, u need to get at least an intermediate pass.. Which is super hard according to my Korean language teacher..

February is still bitter cold. So I don't think you can survive without a down jacket.
Anyway, cotton isn't really a good insulation. Fleece yes; but then again I don't think it's enough as it would be -ve Celsius. Just saw my friend's facebook and he commented it was -12 degree now in Jeju Island.
Thus still advisable to get a down jacket to pair up with your fleece with longjohn inside.

Anyway, since we're happily discussing about buff a page before; here is how I wore it when it's windy tongue.gif

Else like I explain before, it's just as fashion deco because it will hang loosely on your neck.

I am going in Feb 9th and I can't wait! XD

Will it be too cold though? I'm planning to stay only in Seoul and maybe Nami Island for the 15 days duration.. Hehe.. Lotsa people to meet! ^^
