I travelled with Genting 3 times to korea.
Tips to save money..

The winter wear is not required..u can use ur own winter wear. Renting isn't cheap and in my humble opinion it's low quality stuff. The only down side is that u may get ur winter wear wet after that.

The tips is expensive. Can choose to pay in USD or SING

Also, Genting Hotel at Seoul near Dongdaemum. Can walk there. No point wasting money on cab. Must bargain at Dongdaemum and beware of sellers selling fake goods at original goods price.

Big 5 tix..cant really remember, there will be enough time to take the rides. But if u are a youngster like me, everland is not as great as lotte world. So reserve ur enthusiam and money for lotte world.

Snow wise..depends on ur luck. i went 3 times and 3 times almost snow everyday.

If possible bring a video cam..brilliant view at the cable car place...cant remember the place name
Hi karasawa,

Which hotel did u stay at last time?
How is the Hotel?
Can it be found on website for the hotel?
And which package did go with?
Btw... which date u went?

Thanks....

Wondering is anyone here going on the SA 8 days S. Korea + Jeju island package. Mine's on the 24 Dec, and will be going with my wife. We were at Timberland-Raffles City over the weekend and picked up $298 of footgear (she chose a different pair from mimiyap's though).
