bro, if you going for package tour, and not shopping person (even for food?), then just change a bit ie say about S$200 for spending money, as I'm sure for tour they will cover most meals.

By the way, i'm using S$20 x 8 per day for spending. You can bring some US$ there to change just in case you need extra.

I going with fiend on dec first trip to Seoul fne too
but not going with tour package hhehe

winter sonata resort looks quite far yongpeng resort from Seoul
I heard winter no space too ESP the resort hotel

I wonder if exchnge 500 sgd to won enough for transport makan N minor shopping ?
Sgd they support to cash exhange? Or us dollars?
As I went jp before jp only accept us or my dollars

pker, i thought u going to Japan end of the year? Now Seoul? Or you going both. Based on what i remembered, i think similarly like jp, they do not accept SG money. Suggest you change some USD. How many days you oging? Only to Seoul? Are you going elsewhere? For meals, you can have very cheap meals there but if you intend to try other stuff then change a bit more.

Most probably will buy some food and cosmetics too. Advisable to buy jinseng?

$200 is in SGD or USD? Not advisable to change korean won? Which one more wu hua?

ok what i meant is change about S$200 to Korean Won for spending money. You can also bring some USD so that if you do not have enough, you can change there or you can keep it for your future trip to Japan

oh cosmetics was so dirt cheap i bought a lot. Went crazy ha ha. Jinseng, did not buy. I think if you go by tour they will probably bring u go those places to buy jinseng, but heard can be expensive.
