Korea Winter Trip 2016 (2-10 Dec) Part 1

It's been awhile since I lasted posted here. Really wanted to blog on my Korea trip last winter but didn't really had the time to do so because of the hectic month of competition and training. But I finally have the time to do so now, so here it goes... My friends and I went to Korea for about 7 days (excluding 2 days worth of flight back and fro). Overall, I spent about $1,000 for both flight and accommodation, including the 1-day KORAIL PASS and the SIM Card. And the rest of your daily expenses (meals) & shopping is up to your own discretion. In this post, I will just mention on a few important points to take note of. 1. If you wish to have your own mobile data, it is best to apply for the EG SIM card online before you fly to Korea, at least 3-4 days in advance. All SIM cards have to be pre-ordered online so 1 point to take note. It's not very cheap, about $40 for 1 GB worth of data plus calling & msging. If you're planning to use SnapChat or even Instagra
