I am not too sure, you can activate via atm

It would be good to have pocket wifi. Usually sim card is more expensive and data is limited, around 1gb if I not mistaken.

I just got back from Seoul. Yes, it is enough for the wind. An additional heat tech would be great to keep you warm.

for the simcard, depends on your choices
i have used simcard before, it's unlimited data.
and you can choose data only, or data+phone call too
when u return the simcard, they will count the phone call fee if you got call, it's quite cheap though
but if you just use data only simcard, u can just throw it away after finish using it
i never use pocket wifi, so i cant comment.
because i will keep turning on my internet, so i think simcard is more suitable for me

Im going to Seoul end of this month and i've yet to book any accommodation in Seoul.
Are those guesthouses (around RM150 ish) recommended?

And how much pocket money for transportation (should be mostly train) and 3 meals in an inexpensive restaurant do you recommend? Is 30,000KRW a day enough?

im using airbnb to book, seven days for two person around rm 830

I dont want airbnb as its very troublesome to stay at another person's house.
Tried it in Macau and though the host was good but i felt like imposing.

did airbnb in Seoul and Busan. Good experience. Nice, central location and owner didn't even need to show up. All comms via email and kakaotalk, and no keys needed either coz they are all using electronic locks.

Thanks. How much average did you need to spend a day there?

I think it was about RM250/day. Nice apartment with kitchenette, washing machine, fridge, aircon/heater.

Wah, 50000 KRW a day?
May i have the apartment name? How much was it a night?

yes i stayed in a guesthouse at hongdae for around that price. got a queen size bed. only thing have to share toilets though. nice place also.

sup guys,

im going to seoul this sat on a business trip, prob go some far place for a day and go back to seoul for work.

as far as my reading goes, (both here and elsewhere) food there doesnt seem that impressive and expensive

am it getting it right, or theres something im missing? anyone can recommend places to eat?

Korean food generally doesn't have the grandness of Chinese (or Japanese) cuisine, but they do have a lot of pretty good common foods.

What kind of food are you looking for?

im not too picky, but he black pork bbq does look nice.

if their general food quality is everywhere also about the same, then i guess no need la

For black pork bbq you will need to look for those joints which prominently feature a large black pig in the signboard.

Otherwise you can look for bossam and jokbal. I had a post here back in Nov after my holiday there about the stuff I ate

Ok found the post:
