After my previous trip to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in Apr 2023, I am currently on a one week vacation in Seoul, South Korea.
This is actually the first time that Ms Doraemon and I have set foot on South Korean soil after decades of "experiencing" K drama and Kpop on TV and social media.
This is another budget trip with budget flights on TWay Air and 2 star acommodation for less than S$900 for 2 pax.
We only brought 500k KRW worth S$518.50, exchanged from the money changer that offers highest rate in the Arcade at S$1 to 964 KRW as of time of writing.
We also brought credit cards and Youtrip multi-currency cards just in case.
All in below S$1.5k for a week in Seoul.
South Korea is an advanced, developed country with standard of living comparable to Singapore's.
We hope to experience a week of local lifestyle living life carefree while enjoying freedom to the maximum, without splurging like tourists.
Hey bro
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Keep it coming so that i can copy you. I'm considering going to Korea too. My last trip was in 1998, after the Asia Financial Crisis. The whole country was devastated and needs IMF money to bail out. Today, Korea is very different. A formidable technology powerhouse.
Thanks Henry. I hope to do a reflection post to share more when I am back.
