How to plan a trip to korea

Hehehehe... Soo as ramai r damn shock how my hubby and i can spent less than 3k to seoul for 6days and 5night... Soo here r da details...

For backpackers... Definitely we will study da destination atleast a few mnths before ur departure... Soo for korea... We have been studying online in google and also other blogss... Howevaa, a great trip will only be great if we have a good plan dat cud save money, energy and its fill with great activities...
Soo tips in a cheap trip to korea...

1. Cheap flight

Hehehe for me naik mas tau airasia samer jek... Y waste a few hundreds when its da same 8hours flight from kul-seoul... Soo i chose an airasia flight which only cost me rm600 for a round trip to seoul.. Kalo saper yg suke gler airasia great deal, the price of flights will be very low during april-mei or oct-nov (time beli tiket)... N u have to travel like next yr.. Xper laa.. A well plan trip is better kan.. N make sure siap mkn dlm flight.. Cozz u will need a lot energy to travel as u reach seoul...

2.Homestay/Guesthouse

Next step.. Mau tido mane? If u r those people yg sgt cerewet, xleh share a house space n high class gitew... Haha siapkan bajet lebey jek laaa.. But as our goal is to jalan and to spent luxury time to view da beauty of seoul.. Theres no need for a hotel like place.. A homestay or a guesthouse would be great.. Maner nk dpt? Google laa syg... We stay in a malaysian homestay, name ines inn at itaewon.. Namenye malaysian homestay cozz yg tggl sane malaysian jek.but owner is a korean yg sgt kedekut.. Its like an apartment with 3 rooms.. We share it wif org lain.. Soo klo xselesa, can choose any hotel. There r a lot of homestay around seoul, soo cari hrga yg bpatutan which is rm100-150 per night.. N based on my experience, deposit just transfer on9, while duit lebih better bayar guna won korea as our currency is so small. Next thing, survey the place u like ur homestay to be....

3.Area to stay
This is importnt, as seoul is a non muslim country..soo we have to prioritise a homestay in an area dat we can access food easily.. Soo i chose itaewon area as it is an international area n sgt2 byk mknn muslim and kedai runcit to buy halal food... Klo malaysia kaya ngn mamak restrnt, seoul kaya ngn mid-east restrnt.. Make sure ur homestay is near to food access and also most importnt dekat dengan tren station!!!!

4. Plan our itinerary
This is sooo pening ok!!! Soo what shud i do? Name tmpt and tmpt interesting pown xtawu. 

If u want to know da interesting places to visit, just google sayang!!! Ramai yg post and there r even list of places to go.. But to plan da trip.. This applications may be very helpful... Soo u know maner tmpt nk pi for a day.. 

Apps leh download shj kat apps store.. Tgen u can study da tren line and maner tmpt yg leh cover in ur trip.. I will share my itinerary in my next entry...

5. Food and beverages
Repeat lg!! This is a non muslim country.. Soo definitely makanan is a huge prob!! Tp kalo jenis was-was, bwk laa 1 supermarket dr malaysia.. Haha
mengenangkan i have frenz in seoul or have been there, i am soo not was-was with the food places.. Most importntly its a seafood and vegetarian restaurnt!! Saner mmg jarang jual air arak kecuali bar, cafe or kedai yg jual daging bbq.. They will only hidang cold plain water.. Soo makanan shj yg pelu difokuskan.. Just google makanan halal at seoul.. And all the list and pics will be display...
Food price range 5000won-30,000won per person... Tgk laa aper yg korg mkn..

6. Money exchange
Duit malaysia sgt kecil!! Their money is around 3x bigger than us.. Soo siap2 tukar rm-won di malaysia... I repeat, tukar duit di malaysia not in seoul.. Maser dewi travel we change rm1000-320,000 won.... Tp when we ask the currency in seoul rm1000-300,000 won.. 20,000 different is byk ok syg!!!

Sooo goodluck in studying ur trip!!! Jgn kelam kabut... Take ur own sweet time!!
