If go for one week Rm3500 + USD200 enough or not for transport, purchase food, meal, coffee, cafe , lotte world park, seoul tower .

There restaurant or park ticketing accept credit card payment or not?
*
Enough, transport cheap only, metro around 1k+ only each ride.

and don't go to lotte world lmao, you'll regret! Each game u need to queue 1½ - 2hrs + max, so crowded like no tmr even though it's on a monday lol.

i also thought like that...first time go, can take pictures....but then the place is suuuuuuuper crowded, can't even capture a nice picture in front of the castle coz too many people at the side lmao

some of those extreme rides are outdoor just to let you know. And the "Magic Pass" app is totally useless, can't reserve shit lol. In the end we only managed to enjoy 1 ride which we queued for 2 hours lol, and then left.

Hope the day u visit there won't be as crowded as mine lah innocent.gif

It's my friend that I am worried about. It is our first time traveling together. She's on tight budget. I may need to help her to pay for her accommodation first.

We will be traveling together to Seoul on 21st may. She will leave on 26th. While I will leave on 30th.

Reason being because as i have mentioned, she's on a tight budget, so can't stay for long and only can bring rm3000.

I chose to stay longer because sked not able to cover places that I want to go because of her "budget".

If you know what I mean..  But I haven't start plan my itinerary. Any suggestions for my situation? Thanks lol.

i only brought like rm2.5k+ for like 8 days, excluding accommodation of course. Coz i didn't plan on buying things except foods rclxm9.gif and i still got about rm700+ left lol

in your case u just bring extra loh just in case you really not enough and don wan the hassle to use the atm there

Would it be safe to travel alone in Seoul? Thinking of a quick solo trip to sightsee & eat! Also, is seafood easy to find in the city?
*
Pretty safe i guess, what kind of seafood are you lookin for? There are lots of street seafood snack like lobster, oyster, squids and prawns etc

Hi guys few question I would like to ask
1. Any others apps better than google map? I heard google map not working good in korea
2. Any apps for check subway from points to points?
3. If rented car, do we need to take exam to convert into international driving license? or only pay to convert?
*
1. Kakao map / google map(for walking only), i switch between these 2 sometimes, and some places you need to google for their Korean words to be able to search them.
2. KakaoMetro
3. no idea

which is the best korean fried chicken?  yeah, wat i mean like in m'sia if we wanted good jap food we can still go to places like ORIBE to eat. But in Korea.... hmmm..... thats a big issue.... wheres the best steak in seoul? thai food? Korean food is good for sharing not for solo eaters...
*
ahhh you didn't mention u going alone biggrin.gif

korean fried chicken i only tried BHC (Better & happier choice) Chicken in myeongdong and it was really good! But portion also quite big. For steak i only went to james cheese steak, rest were korean foods tongue.gif u can check out my vlog

Guys which one much cheaper? Wifi eggs or Data sim prepaid? will be in Korea for 9 days
*
Wifi eggs are cheaper if shared with lots of ppl, but you have to worry about the battery life and recharge it at the end of the day, You also cannot shop in like separate group because you only share one wifi egg.

personally i'd go for sim
