[GoD_OF_SharK]

I went to Genting , they said include ski equipment but not the suit.... how much to rent the suit?? If going on 28th will there be snow?? where can roughly check the weather for korea....

Wat i recall, the tour guide say is abt USD$15-20 per set for the suit or lower.

can't really remember the cost of the suit... but not really tat expensive... u can call up genting to ask... remember in the 1st day, they will passby a small shopping area... remember to buy seaweed and local makan there... after tat, almost no chance/dunno where to buy these foods untill the last day before reaching the airport, they will bring u to a speciality shop where they chop u like pork chop like tat and u got no choice but to buy from them... look out for small pkt one becaz the big one almost cannot finish at 1 go...

Hopefully.. but i see the itinery.. after touch down korea on 2nd day already transfer to domestic flight to jeju

thanks.

want to know more, call Genting holiday lah... their contact can be found in NATAs website... they are not really tat pushy... find out liao, not happy can dun sign one... better to find the information from the source then wat we tell u...

 

[enoone]

but i heard genting holidays dont let u stay in ski resort overnight. u stay somewhere else den go there ski and go back. true not?

oic... ur's include Jeju... then ur final package price must be around $1.5k lor... the airport tax already few hundreds liao... last time i didn't go skiing... the shopping center will be a stop before u reach the ski resort... so if it is not the 1st day, then it will be the day u go to the resort...

anyway u dun rent suit if u dun ski lah... but if u ski, it may be quite messy... becaz the snow will melt when contact of ur body. If ur winter wear is waterproof one then dun need to rent the suit... they will not force u becaz there is some ppl who bring their whole suit or dun want to ski... i feel since u spend so much money go there liao, wat is US$15 to rent a suit... u will not have the chance to wear it in singapore anyway... and Korea is the cheapest skiing resort... beside china...

[Nakedtoes]

SO that mean you all before going there not only need to convert to won but also must change some USD currency?? pls advice...

Must see the price got include airport tax, tips, any extra thing boh... airport tax 260++ liaoz


And for those who went during winter how you keep the $$$?? wear so many layers dun know which pocket you put also... then when indoor need to take out 1 or 2 layer off then still got to take care of camera... carry so many things like octopus

how is a down jacket different from a normal winter jacket?

We will be going this coming Jan, heard it is the coldest month.
By the way, does anyone of you wear contact lens in winter area? will it be too dry and
uncomfortable?

due to the cold weather, battery life of camera/HP usually is shorter... so pls remember to buy warmer pack for ur camera... the jackets usually will have some pockets, so u will keep some money there... u keep at the next layer also can... usually i keep my wallet in my pants... so quite easy to access... the only toublesome thing is toilet...

if u think u want to pee in the open, think again when u reach there... i guess u dun even want to unzip ur jacket.. before u pee, i guess ur weelly quite frozen... hehehe...

as for money wise, US$ is universal money lah... i always keep some with me just in case... u know S$ are not traded as much as US$... in some smaller areas, they dun accept S$...

BTW both are almost the same... down jacket look nicer only... normally the face, hand and body will feel cold... lower body usually dun feel so cold... so down jacket almost meaningless... down jacket also quite toublesome... esp when u go toilet... for ladys, it will be worse...

 

[Nakedtoes]

Can we use USD to shop??

 

[dreamer_toons]

when to genting holidays to ask yesterday, and confirm they do not stay in the ski resort, you will stay in daemyung condo resort for 2 nights, on the second day they will bring you to Alps ski resort for helf day skiing.
