For spring blossom I''ve planned to visit Yeouido Park, I guess could drop by Seoul Forest too

Wahahaha... that was my sister wish, I myself aren't going there for shopping. Since I'm the primary planner I just slot in whatever free time for them to shopping. But noted on dongdaemun, my last trip in 2014 i only went to dongdaemun mall at night, I didn't walk around the shopping street coz I'm there to visit Cheonggyecheon stream only.

its not actually street shopping, the entire length of the road the buildings mostly clothing shops.

wah you walk to dongdaemun all the way from cheonggye plaza?
tats quite far.

i always plan to walk the entire 11km stream until the end but never got about doing it.
maybe one day......

Wahhh... not the whole stream... i take subway to DDP then walk to the portion of the stream just beside it.

Can combine that with Songpa Naru Park as well, all should have nice blossoms

hi, may i know is uniqlo Ultra Light Down jacket warm enough to be wear at Seoul during winter end of this month?

i also about to bring uniqlo ultra light down...with heat tech of course
and i'm very skeptical right now

the temperature doesn't seem to be getting better(in fact worse)
most people will say january will be the coldest....february will start to fade out
since yesterday, the temperature is rated lowest at -10c
today...right now 10AM it's 0c at seoul
it's colder than during CNY or january(which is about 5-10c)

and i'm going there in 2 weeks

based on uniqlo ultra light down label description in the shop, it is indicated as level 2 for warm, not the level 4. so i think it is more for spring time.

it's enough, it's just how many layers u wanna wear only
those that are living in cold countries, they would practice layering than wearing something really thick instead

Not sure if Ultra Light Down would be enough as most people wear thicker jackets especially if you are going to be out doors or walking alot.

Also, I strongly recommend getting a scarf.
Regardless if you are a guy or girl.

it's minus 6c now, it's 11AM in seoul

who here in seoul now...how does it feel?

What are you wearing at this temperature?

going there in 2 weeks
i'm only bringing heat tech shirt and pants, uniqlo ultra light down, some scarf, winter hat, glove and mask to block the wind
the usual

So cold go there do what? Skiing?

Anyone in Seoul now? How's the condition there with the virus and all? Abit worry about my trip there in April.

Hopefully, everything will in control. Will definitely know more in the coming weeks.
Going there for the cherry blossom?
Calling MR_alien
Pls do report on the situation once you are there. 😀😁

The forecast are quite accurate when i'm there last mid/end of Jan but i'm at Jeju not Seoul.
The temperature are just around 6° or 7° different between early morning and afternoon.
The coldest at around 4° and warmest around 10°.
Even in the afternoon near the sea side and wrap like a big plum dumpling, you will start to shiver if you are out there more than 15mins.

cherry blossom?
i'm going 19th feb...technically still winter


the forecast now is gone down the drain...last month i check
accuweather is saying february is upward of 2c-12c
but since 1 week ago which is sunday, the temperature has been negative the whole day...like even in the middle of the noon
only yesterday, it managed to have like 2c in the middle of the noon
but the 2c is only based temperature...below the real feel say "feels like -4"

in fact, the february temperature is colder than the temperature on january(it's 9c during CNY)
completely terbalik since from what i read, they say the coldest month is january...february will start to fade since close to spring

I'm going in April too and not too worried atm

The first part was for Cloudx. 😀 and the second part was asking for your advise on the condition (coronavirus) there once you are there. 😁

The weather technically is just a forecast and will drop or goes up quite drastically depending on the area.

Just like when i'm at taiwan last year around end of Feb. Check the weather forecast one day before going and it state around 16° ~19°and "Wham" it started to rain on arrival. Guess what , temperature start to fall dramatically on the second day to 7° or 8° couple with strong wind, all of us are shivering even with 2 layers of clothing. End up spending extra $$ just to buy winter cloth.
I did check on the weather forecast that night and the following day, it was quite accurate. In conclusion, the forecast for the day and the next day will be accurate, further away will only be just a basic guide line.

i think nothing to be scared abt
there are more people dead in the past 24 hours in korat compared to the number of being "infected" by the corona virus in the past month in thailand

and you're worried abt the virus rather than other stuff

plus once the virus is created, it won't disappear...u can't run/hide from it, u can only be immune to it
SARS, H1N1, TB still exist until today..only difference is our view to it
