Tips & Info 💁🏻‍♀️

🚃 TRANSPORTATION
Public transportation - Sepanjang di Seoul, boleh naik public transport sahaja seperti bas dan train. Public transport mereka sangat bagus, cekap dan on time. Kalau nak naik public transport, kena guna T Money and reload duit macam TouchnGo lah. So T money ni boleh dapat kan di mesin di airport, kedai 7e pun ada. Harga lebih kurang 5,000 won bersamaan dengan RM15 macam tu. Boleh pakai sampai bila2 sebab takda expiry date. Satu kad untuk satu orang sahaja.

🏢 ACCOMODATION
Top Hotel, Myeongdong - Boleh stay di hotel ni sepanjang 5 malam di Seoul. Hotel yang sangat strategik dekat dengan train station, Myeongdong Street, Namdaemun Market and Namsan Tower. Hotel ni macam guesthouse juga sebab ada kemudahan kelengkapan dapur dan mesin basuh disediakan. So sangat mudah boleh masak. Bilik semua lengkap, kira selesa dengan gelaran guesthouse, receptionist pun sangat friendly dan membantu. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for this hotel.

🥐 FOOD
Harga makanan2 di Seoul agak mahal sikit lah macam sepinggan lebih kurang RM20-30 macam tu. Boleh try street food di Myeongdong tu, akan spend dalam s RM60 untuk 4 jenis makanan. Better banyak masak sendiri di guesthouse lebih jimat. Restoran halal banyak di Itaewon berbanding di area Myeongdong.

💸 SHOPPING
Souvenior Shopping
* Insadong Street
* Namdaemun Market
Face Mask / Cosmetics (Must buy when you’re in Korea sebab facemask sana murah berbanding Malaysia)
* Myeongdong Street - Banyak choice and banyak brand tapi dari segi harga, mahal sikit sebab kawasan tumpuan pelancong.
* Ewha Womens Univ - Murah sikit berbanding Myeongdong Street sebab kawasan student, tapi takboleh beli bundle atau beli banyak2.
* Namdaemun Market - Murah lagi berbanding Myeongdong Street and boleh beli bundle2.

📶 Internet/ SIM card
Pakej Internet di sana ada pilihan portable wifi/ data internet. Harga internet data/ sim card no call internet only (unlimited) lebih kurang 27,500 won sama dengan RM110 untuk 7 days. Kalau lebih 7 days kena langgan pakej yang lebih lama. Harga untuk portable wifi pun sama sahaja cuma boleh guna up to 3 devices, so lebih untung lagi kalau guna portable wifi. Nak beli sim card semua ni boleh dapatkan di airport time arrival, ada banyak tele company di arrival hall. PERINGATAN, kalau portable wifi kena guna credit card, cash tak diterima ya.

ADD-ON TIPS
✅ Language barrier di sana kurang sikit sebab ramai locals di sana faham and boleh cakap English especially yang muda2, kalau yang dah berumur tu kurang sikit lah nak faham. So kalau nak tanya direction better cari yang macam muda2.
✅ Tandas di sana takda paip, so standby lah ape yang perlu tu macam air botol.
✅ Strict tak di imigresen? Kalau for Malaysians dorang tak berapa strict sangat, just declare je bahan2/ makanan yang kita bawa.
✅ Kalau travel ke Seoul, tidak disarankan drive sendiri sebab traffic yang selalu jam, pemanduan driver di sebelah kiri, and laluan kereta belah kanan opposite dengan kita, dorang belah kiri so pening la. 😂 Public transport pun dah ckup senang dah naik aje public trasport.
✅ Travel Adapter jangan lupa bawa.
