chopsticks not really cheap.
but its a unique part of korea, so still ok. (but i didn't get though)

yes the facial mask. basically the skin care products. u can find a very wide variety.
not sure price though.

i accidentally found out their energizer lithium batteries (for those digital cams) are much cheaper than in singapore. (I bought a pack of 2 batt in sin cost me S$10+, whereas it cost me almost only 4900 won)

that's like almost half price!!!


but don try buying latops or hdds.
Their prices are much higher than singapore.

a 1tb samsung hdd cost 200+ sin there.
and i bought 1 back in singapore for S$167, right after i came back in jan.

think you can buy 1 packet of face mask at 1000 won each. that's the price for faceshop. other shops might be even cheaper..

hello rockstarz your package sounds quite value for money as well, may i know when will your trip be? although i haven't booked yet, i'm interested in a trip perhaps in early to mid apr so as to catch the cherry blossom season (from what i know it's abit earlier this year)

Hi sorry for the late reply, well for cherry blossom i guess u gotta be there in april, my trip will be in July so its slightly cheaper, april might cost slightly more

which tour package/agency would you guys recommend?I'll be heading there end may,probably book over the next few days
looking at the 8 days+jeju island.

 

[AlphaAV]

dynasty package like not bad
other mostly only 1-2 nites @ jeju
but dynasty got 3 nites, so wont be too rush

though some say jeju nothing much 1

 

[valeon]

Planning to sign up package with Dynasty next week. Bros and sis, any last advice?

 

[Kahlan]

Bro you planning to go soon? If going later in Sep or Oct, why not wait for August when all the tour agencies will have their in house fair and it is usually much cheaper than NATAs fair and they have lots of promotion.

 

[rockstarz]

Just came back from Korea, imho if i can turn back time i will just take a 6D package, Jeju Island not much thing to see, Mysterious Road, Tangerine Garden, Sulloc Green Tea Museum Soingook Minature park, the only yhing worthseeing is Seongsan Sunrise Peak , Cheonjeyon waterfall and Teddybear Museum

Thanks bro for the crucial input. No hurry. Just want to gv somebody a surprise gift next week. Called up Dynasty and confirm they will be having in-hse fair in Aug. Since so near liao, will just wait for a while to book. Kam siah.....

yah lor,the next time i go korea again i'll just go seoul.

when i went in june,the cheonjeyon waterfall didn't have much water coming down
sunrise peak and waterfall also not very convenient for old folks.all the old folks in my tour group didn't climb down to see the waterfall or up sunrise peak.

somemore waiting for domestic flight also waste time.

but have to admit that air is very fresh and scemary is beautiful.

Ya 6D just skipped Jeju Island, the rest is exactly the same, well for 5 Star agency it was the same, they gave me a great hotel for last 2 day, Imperial Palace Hotel, damn swee man

hahaha at sunrise peak,we didn't really know how long it'll take to reach the peak.some of the old folk were very cute!climbed about 5min and saw that still long way more then they just started taking photos from there!

myeongdong stuff quite cheap ah..went dongdaemun twice.once at night by train.it was much better at night because less people there!

korea almost every corner will see cosmetics!and everywhere i went i bought!good part is that got alot of freebies!

Whahaha i'm not a guy so I had a fantastic time shopping!Talking about myeongdong and dongdaemun makes me feel like going back! If I go during winter season,will most of the clothes sold be for winter?
