anyone has any recommendations for private drivers in Korea, I have checked several tour guides but the rates are beyong my budjet. thx.

do u book a tour already?

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?

how many of you going? if a lot, get portable wifi..

if portable wifi, u can rent from ktolleh in incheon airport..but better prebook online first

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.

if two just get a local sim card la..once in a while u can on your hotspot for your wife..

Thand for the advise!

wow Korean won exchange rate 3.985 even higher than yen

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.

Has anyone had experience getting to Everland? I had looked through the information on the internet, most of the people suggest to get to Gangnam Station and take bus 5002 but it would take around 90mins. Are there any other suggestions? Thanks

According to what?

MYR recently gained some strength against USD but weakened to KRW.

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

Going to Korea see the Sakura

Thanks for the info!
My airbnb is about 300meter from ewha station. I worry carry few big luggage and take subway will be troublesome. So thinking of taking taxi from Hongik station.

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

Ok I will check it out, thanks Yvonne!

KRW strengthen so much its almost 400MYR to 100k KRW now.

whenever i go the currency rate only go up, not even once go down. i still remember i went that time the rate haven't reach 3. miss those days hence now going to korea ain't cheap anymore
