QUOTE(westley0214 @ Dec 13 2017, 03:16 PM) So far all the currency exchange centers that I passed by, all only accept 4 major currencies: Ahh i seeee.....thanks!1. USD 2. JPY 3. RMB 4. SGD Yes, even in Myeongdong. It will be very risky if you decide to exchange there. Another method would be to change your MYR to USD first, but too many exchanges you will rugi a lot. I just changed all mine in Midvalley. They provide one of the best rates. |

QUOTE(musteng @ Jan 23 2018, 10:14 AM) Winter boot is not really require unless you walk on snow. Most of the people there just on casual shoe. You may bring a pair of wool shocks as contigency just in case your feet can't stand the cold. You can buy the boot there if you think you really need it. thanks! I didn't experience the Hanbok renting before, but i saw most of the girls are sturggling with the cold walking around just wearing the hanbok during winter. I will suggest you to test the weather once you arrive that area, and decide do you really able to stand the cold/wind blow with the hanbok. |

QUOTE(musteng @ Feb 8 2018, 12:13 PM) Got exception, during winter the businese is no good... you will only see 1 or 2 kicimiao go for it. But the weather really can kill those who dare to try on winter yea im going to do it on feb 20+, still wintersee some review said yes it's quite cold especially when the wind blows, but it's damn fun they said haha This post has been edited by darrenwks: Feb 8 2018, 12:44 PM |

QUOTE(musteng @ Feb 8 2018, 02:26 PM) What you have print screen was Bus Route. You wouldn't able to show the driving route as google map has been blocked due to SK regulation. Thanks! didnt know google map blocked in SK, is kakao map only available in korean language? any diff with naver map?Following Kakao Map show 4 minutes drive and Naver Map show 2KM walk. You don't need 30minutes to walk 2KM i believe...normal walk pace can achieve within 15 minutes. [attachmentid=9577517] [attachmentid=9577518] QUOTE(ckweng @ Feb 8 2018, 02:27 PM) thanks! |

QUOTE(yvonnesoo @ Feb 8 2018, 02:49 PM) kakao map & naver map is the same. from different company only. both in korean language. but kakao do have english version if i'm not mistaken but still have some places that can't be search and have problem inputting places name in english QUOTE(musteng @ Feb 8 2018, 02:53 PM) KaKao map is supporting English. The latest Naver Map update not along ago also supporting english. They want to compete with the new booming Kakao App i believe. thanks, will give it a try!In term of accuracy, both about the same. Normally i swap these 2 apps to look for different restaurants. You still can use google map in SK. Just you wouldn't able to get the driving route. |

Just came back few days ago, yes it's still cold there min -1c and max around 6 ~ 7c
Very lucky the night before we went to Nami island it snowed, all trees in nami island were covered in white powered snow. Snows falling from the trees made it looks like it's actually snowing. The snow started to melt at noon time and it gets very watery during that time and water droplets kept falling on the trees. But i also missed the Nami Zip Wire because we went there very early and the staff told us the weather is not so good, and got refunded And please if you're planning to go to the lotte world, DO NOT GO! That place is sooooooooo fuckin crowded, waiting for one ride costed me almost 2 hours in queue! And the magic pass app is useless, can't reserve any rides at all! Wasted my money and time! |
