Indeed indeed, I did changed RM6k yesterday. Gonna bring RM cash there, understand some of the money changer in Myeongdong can change, we just need to ask around.

Anyone got a simcard when travelling in Seoul? Im going mid April for a week and thinking is it better buying a SIM or pocket wifi. Only 2 of us travelling. Pocket wifi is about RM105 for a week.

And anyone stayed near Jamsil stadium? Attending a concert there and its about 45 mins from Seoul. Might look for accommodation at Jamsil for a night or 2.

Hello,
May I ask, for weather from 0-9 celcius, is uniqlo ultra light down jacket is enough? I'll be going next week.
Really appreciate your opinion and info.
Thank you!

Hi, i am going to korea in oct, so looking at places to stay now. Can anyone recommend any airbnb for seoul, jeju and busan that thay have stayed in? Thanks!!

There are 4 of us going, so maybe ard rm 300-400 per night...

Guys, is 30k spending money daily enough?
Im not buying anything much and its for transport (bus/train), food and entrance fees (if any).

Thanks but are the street or lower end restaurant food priced like that?

I see thanks. Then maybe i should buffer about 40k won a day for food, transport or any entrance fees.
Im planning to bring around 300k spending money for my 7 days trip. Enough?

Then maybe i'll bring around 450k.

Thanks for the advice.

Sorry for using chinese. Because I posted in Cari Forum to ask for help.

guys...im going to south korea by end of next month, and im thinking to pay a visit to DMZ,

anyone here has experience on it?

and i heard my gf says that korean local are not allow to visit DMZ...is that true?

my gf is korean btw, i just wanna clarify here only.

Anyone can suggest me should I buy portable pocket wifi or prepaid sim cars for data? And should I buy at Malaysia or buy at Korea?

Only me and my wife. I checked KT OLLEH website. Theit data prepaid sim card is 38,500won for 10days (I'm going for 10days). Malaysia normally is pocket wifi if I'm not mistaken. Travel recomended is RM15/day, and of course need deposit. My wife said don't want use pocket wifi because need deposit  worried if broken then GG. Not sure which to choose now.

guys, what is the average return flight price to seoul in aug? AA now about 1.3k per person, is that considered cheap?

3k for food, tickets, and some shopping for 10days. Is it enough?

I used RM2k just for food, transportation (almost 98% subway) and ZERO shopping for 7 days.
And I only ate in normal restaurants.

Okay la. Not bad.
I went to Jeju and realised that it was much better to have transportation/tour instead of relying on the local bus route.

Hi guys, heard from a friend that foreigners are usually overcharged (food,clothes,transport,etc) compared to locals. is it true? Advised its better to take tour rather than free and easy.

Managed to catch the cherry blossom =D
