hello i am curious.. whether you guys change korean won in malaysia
or change at seoul by using usd changed in malaysia
which one more worth?

Yup, change Korean won in Malaysia as they don't accept RM over there.
Prepare some USD, AUD or SGD to change there. Alternatively, credit card all the way tongue.gif

How much should I change Ringgit to Won for 15 days of Korea trip for 2 person? Traveling to Seoul-Jeju-Busan-Seoul.

Excluding flight, car rental and accommodation. All shopping I will try to use credit card.

You'll probably use the most cash in Jeju and Busan (sort of) though. Many places there don't accept credit cards, except for restaurants (even then, not all restaurants take cards either). So just budget for those 2 places properly, cash wise.

Pray hard then. I have amex, visa and mastercard. If they don't accept cc, no choice use cash then.

Do remember to activate your PLUS. You may find the PLUS logo behind your atm.
PLUS is international withdrawal, used it to withdraw in Singapore before.

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.

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

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!

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

I am going to take the risk. Even thou they said the device can be connected up to 3 devices, but I checked the spec of the device can connect up to 7 devices. We are in big group, 12 of us, so I am going to rent 2 units.

Can you confirmed if you rented this wifi egg from KT olleh?

If you're not renting a car for self drive.
Then staying close to City Hall is more preferable. Walking distance to the main bus terminal & plenty of bus routes pass thru City Hall.

Renting a car. Previously stayed in Seogwipo and the East side.

Now going to stay Seogwipo and don't know North or West. Choose North coz ladies want to go to underground shopping.

May sound silly to ask this question here but no harm trying.

Any idea whether Malaysian can enter into South Korea for holidays if he has criminal record in Australia previously?
