Will be in Seoul and Jeju for 8d8n.. 2 person, but only 1 phone..
know about the Wiyo rm12/d.. but thinking not worthy just for 1 phone usage..
but i check KT.Co, 10days package is like whooping 140 ringgit..

Any cheaper alternative guys?

Either option is cheaper than RM38/day from Maxis for 500Mb or unlimited. Just take it, or else hunt around for free wifi.

either you bring 2 phones or use prepaid simcard. prepaid simcard also cost around rm140 for 10 days. actually the one you mention 12/d considered quite cheap already

what about the simcard? perhaps it will be cheaper compared to pocket wifi?

I bought the unlimited 30day SIM from Funtastic Korea for 60k Won since I will be there for 14 days.

It cost RM225. I considered getting the Wiyo which would have come up to 12 x 14, and RM15 for shipping back, I just went ahead with the Korea SIM.

I will slot the SIM into either my tablet or 2nd phone.

not sure how big is your backpack..
don't go those dodgy type of bathhouse. overall bathhouse in korea is quite safe. don't say broke the locker la, hardly got people steal your phone even you charge your phone at another corner. of cause i can't guarantee 100% no pickpocket however the percentage is quite low.. tongue.gif

if the backpack is too big for the locker, can the owner keep the backpack behind the counter?

I think should be just enough to squeeze into the locker. Honestly if cannot, just put it next to you where you sleep. I've seen people putting their huge-ass luggages next to them while they sleep too.

As long as you don't go to those jjimjilbang frequented by the local gangsters, you should be very well taken care of in terms of safety. Not that the "dodgy" looking ones are not safe, rather you just may not be allowed to enter in the first place.

don't compare it to m'sia lolz. too way behind already. koreans can put their bag in the restaurant or cafe and walk away to order etc. they can leave their phone to plug in to charge on the table (mix with other people phone) and the distance is far from their place. not to worry that people will steal it and etc brows.gif in m'sia if you do that, you can say bye.gif

you can ask the person there to keep your backpack if the locker is too small.

bring my friends go few times also rain.  sweat.gif  the danubi train will stop if rain. then you have to walk by foot and the area is huge!! worst is it's windy and not suitable to bring umbrella. experience soaked under the rain with my friends as we had walked half way in (before that it's drizzle so my friend thought should be ok). who knows heavy rain after we had walk half way inside. in my opinion no point if you go if raining as you can't enjoy the scenery

yes been to jagalchi market. just stroll there but no eat there cause mostly cater for tourist tongue.gif. usually i go to local places more or buy stuffs and cook ourselves.

there are different restaurant there. just buy the seafood that you want and ask the restaurant to cook it for you. saw many tourists that buy and ask them to cook without problem. should be no problem for you la.. some do have english menu and some workers know to speak chinese

Generally safety in Seoul is quite good, nearly comparable to Singapore if you ask me. There are a lot of cameras all over the place, many of which are not easily seen by the public unless they know where to look.

Honestly, you should look out for other foreigners instead of the locals there. Especially the PRC people... they take whatever that is not theirs, as if it belongs to them.

Buying local stuff to cook is what I would like to do.

Where would you suggest that I go for the "buy local stuff" ?

Prefer seafood, but if there's good beef I'm always up for it.

That's good. In Busan, I'm staying very near the Millak market.

I suppose I could get a fillet slab and slice up the fish myself. tongue.gif

Sannakji would have to be taken at the market itself though haha.
