thanks the info
then i really need thank airasia, RM350 return flight for jeju sakura season 

It's 3.30am now and im frantically researching and planning my trip to korea on 1st Jan 2019!!

Didn't expect korea trip to be more difficult to plan compared to japan

Hehe....probably bcos i have zero knowledge compared to japan.  i guess my main challenge is logistics and getting info from the korean website.
While i know the where i want to go ( see below ) i am not sure where are the places of interest to visit. So far, my messy plan is below -

2nd Jan Day 1  - Hongdae
3rd Jan Day 2 - Palace
4th Jan Day 3 - Busan
5th Jan Day 4 -  TBC
6th Jan Day 5 - Everland/ seoul land
7th Jan Day 6 - Nami Island
8th Jan Day 7-TBC
9th Jan - Check out

nice, i going this weekend, hope still can see it

jeju

sorry noob question..:>

in korea using sim card for data or better buy pocket wifi before arrival

10 days - stay.

Thanks

 

Hi all Sifu,

I would like to ask about accommodation in Busan.  It is staying at Nampo-dong better than Seomyeon?

Any recommended Airbnb or Hotel around these two location?

thanks.

I rented a pocket wifi from Klook for abt RM10 per day.

Only set back is they charge the deposit to your credit card. When the deposit was refunded, incurred abt RM10 in forex difference.

Check out Klook website for details. If you are a first time user, there will be a rebate code, for your first booking.

will be travelling to seoul for the first time. is uber or grab available in seoul? read that google map can't be used, any other English map apps that I can download besides naver? thanks!

Hi, will be going to Seoul in Oct. 1st time there and will try to do a 1day trip to Mt. Seorak, is that possible? any suggestions for this?

Another question, since current exchange rate is ~ 3.5MYR to 1000KRW, do you suggest to change in malaysia or go to myeondong for changing the bulk of korean won?
thx

money changer in korea doesn't accept MYR?

going solo to seoul for the first time. besides subway station, where else can I reload the t-money card?
thanks 

thanks for the info:)
not planning to bring lots of cash. probably gonna just change MYR1.5K and rely on credit card.
hope the cash is enough for 3 days in seoul.

thanks for the the suggestion and tips

hope my 2 kids and my mother can tahan the korea winter ... estimated temperature this time? subzero degree?

For the nami island day trip, my previous experience tell me that very unlikely for us to able to wait till the nighttime illuminationin for garden of morning calm especially during a winter time    and not aware of the far distance of nami island to garden of morning calm.. Winter consider high or low seaon? Q for Bus will be long? on time? seem may need to spend more $$ to charter a private car then 

frm Gyueongbok palace - > bukchon hanok village, nothing nice in between that worthwhile visit ? any instagram worth picture spot?    does it funny if take taxi in hanbok or makan in restaurant wearing hanbok? as mostlikely we will hanbok rent for the whole day

Taxi in korea all pay cash ? or can use T-mobile card/ credit card / payment by apps? And since we are travel in 4+2, seem i will need 2 taxi then

those who changed money in korea before
any idea what USD series they accept and don't?

2006 series still accepted or not?
