however some are like trying so hard to pull off an american accent. really cause my ears i prefer they speak in a normal way instead but well you know this won't be happening.. cause this is korea.. hehehe

agreed. plus after generation by generation and changes by influences and etc, there are many loan words from english. they also learn english from this way haha. so far most guesthouses i went before is good

yes. ours and the neighboring country english is flat and clear. very easy to recognize. other countries one perhaps mixture of their local slang with english hence another kind of accent

i guess any hotel will do. if you request beforehand, they can help to set up.

perhaps you are being sponsored there to take MBA so learning korean is not a must? because most of my friends who went there for further studies must learn and pass certain level of korean language.

ahhh.. no wonder

so ambitious

usually the cherry blossom event / activity started from end of mar to beginning of apr. this year also around the same time of your travel date. however if raining, then tree not that nice already

due to inflation of our rm, you need to spend more now. your trip next year, i can't predict the rate will be higher till how much. no longer cheap going to seoul anymore of cause spending in jeju will be cheaper compare to seoul. roughly estimate rm35 and above per pax for a meal in a normal restaurant. can be cheaper if sharing and depends on what you eat. street food is not cheap

+1

so you are back from korea already? how was your experience this time? please share
those already walk in still can take the danubi train half way inside, if the train run
whoa maybe that area is the ex drama site, hence sooner or later also will dismantle. should check it out first before go ma kekeke
yeah very high. cause won always on par with usd. you went that time also at this rate?

whoa look like your timing really not suitable hehe.. busan quite alot of rainfall.. korea rain usually whole day or continuous few days one.

keep the balance for future use better. now exchange also rugi haha

you can shop in busan. more or less the same but of cause in term of varieties (clothing or shoes), seoul have more choices.

some food are cheaper in busan

700++ on may 2017. if jan 2017 probably 1.5k++

hopefully they solved things out so that it won't cause an outbreak that last long. else really impact tourism

rent a pocket wifi in malaysia or at korea will do if you have few people in your group

2 persons also can rent pocket wifi. still worth it as both of you can share the connection.

5,500 won per day (38,500 for 7 days) by kt olleh pocket wifi. can be use up to 5 devices
38,500 won bt kt olleh data sim card for 10 days usage for 1 phone

or rent a pocket wifi in msia and bring it over to korea. rm15/day by travel recommend (price and customer service quite good). you can try survey and compare with other rental company such as visiondata, wiyo, etc

why not stop at ewha station instead of at hongik and take cab after that? actually it's quite near and the cab might charge you more just take your luggage up the stairs la.. else take exit 6. also not all exit at hongik have elevator

won rate always on par with usd

almost the same timing as me

those "must go" already listed on page 1.. you can go through from the list. as for the restaurants, it differ among people so it's hard to recommend also. usually those famous one will list out top from those blogger or when you search on google compare to those small eateries, their turn over is not that high.

you can figure out which transportation suitable with your budget and convenient around your accommodation

if you take plan to take big luggage you have the risk of dragging your luggage if you don't plan to take cab or airport transfer. 300m from ewha station not that far should be no issue.. however i suggest you that when you depart back to airport, just hired airport transfer if you purchase lotsa stuffs. more convenient
