He didn't tell us the reason, I guess they unable book all of us into the hotel ba... Anyway Intercontinental is equivalent 6-star ba. So its ok. Intercontinental has underground shopping linked to the hotel, but didn't manage to shop as most shop closed when we reach hotel.
YES!! The "Tu Chan" shop is the underground one. Buy 5 get 1 free. Should be the same one.

Eugo,
ya, sheng mi for constipation but still got other function rite? cannot remember....did u buy? The lady who introduced the items very cute, already 50yrs old still looks so young! She throw the honey on the flr to show us that they are packed with those polyfoam...very safe....but when reached home then we realised the other 2--ling zhi & wu wei zi's box inside don't hv those polyfoam! It's just those bubble plastic bag, so risky...lucky we didn't check in! And the wu wei zi, when we open, there's some leakage fr the cover!

LiLi,
Yeah.. very packed ne! but good things is that got enuff time to shop at Myeongdong.. bought alot of masks.. hehee..
I bought the Sheng Mi.. hehee..yeah lor.. that ajuma very cute.. hehee.. she keeps showing us her pass lor.. she mentioned abt her 2 seconds appearance in Da Chang Jin. hehee.
Wah.. so risky ah.. if not hand-carry dunno what will happen le hor..
Hidden cost like the ski equipment + gondola ride lor.. cost us abt 100+ SGD leh.. cos diff period of the season diff prices mah.. then the price HT mentioned during NATAS fair is much more lower than what we paid lor.. they said its optional becos some pple dun wanna ski mah.. but i think almost 90% pple will ski mah.. and since the rental fees is not fixed.. they might incur more costs if they include that in their package lor.. therefore they set it as optional lor.. food wise.. hmm.. not so fantastic.. if i compared with my previous trip.... cos this trip all pork pork pork.. only 1 meal with chicken and that's it. the ginseng chicken soup they provided not genuine.. that shop sells not only ginseng chicken but also bbq stuffs.. last time those places i went for the ginseng chicken soup only sells ginseng chicken wor.. and more tasty.. this is just my personally opinions. ^^

Hello Eugo, Sinkor & all
I am confuse not sure whether 3G handphone can be use in Korea ? M1 and Singtel told me "Yes" but Starhub told me "No".
Alternative, I am thinking of renting a phone
from one of the service provider but can I still receive sms ?
Could someone pls enlighten me.

LiLi,
Dunno wor.. maybe the tour guide cut down the duration for other places ba..
Yeah.. we stayed at walkerhill so I went to take the shuttle bus to the subway station then took the subway to Dongdaemun. Our schedule change abit wor... our 3rd night in Korea shd be in Yong Pyong but change to stay in walkerhill lor.
The weather was cold. mostly below 0. I saw snow when we are leaving Mt Sorak. We stayed about 3hrs at lotte.. but really very boring.. nothing much to play..cos too crowded.. i prefer Everland.. bigger and more interesting.
Yeah.. strong wind at Dragon Peak and we managed to make our snowman there! ^^ Temp at Ski Resort is only abt -4 to -8. not that cold lor.. disappointed ne!

Eugo,
Our third nite also stayed in walkehill, but damn tire to move as we reach there already 10pm+....u still got time to go Dongdaemun yourself! U still know where to take shuttle bus...we all really don't hv time to explore this hotel at all!
Still can make snowman at the Dragon Peak? wow! When we reached there, we went out & being blown back....my hands so cold until I can't do anything, went out to take 1 or 2 shots & ran back....actually my trip to korea didn't really touched the snow...
Temp at ski resort only -8? So tat period we went more colder..nite -17.6, daytime -11.1
Actually where is myeongdong clothings? We didn't walk very inside...only stopped at the big shopping centre & a few shops further, tat's it....did u manage to go Namdaemum?

Hihi Eugo!!!
wow! u are back liao! so fast...heehee.... is my turn to go on sat at last liao! haha.... so did u buy any seaweed? try the Red Mango? or those street stall at Myeongdong?
Hi mimi,
i think the 3G phone that M1 & Singtel mention is it W-CDMA which is not common in Singapore? You have to check clearly with them... as for LiLi mentioned, i think the tourmate is using the rent phone...
as for sms service, i not sure whether it can be use. but renting a phone to korea also not cheap leh... maybe u can try using phonecard? FYI, u also can rent a phone when reaching korea incheon airport... i think u can look for more information at SK telecom website....to compare which is more cheaper.
Cheers

Hi Lili05, Eugo and Sinkor
Thanks for your feedback. Last night went to rent the phone.
Sinkor
I am travelling this week, coming Friday. BTW, which hotel are you staying ? Really wonder how the weather there now. I'm going on free and easy.
Eugo
what clothes to bring since is not that cold.
Did you wear long john + cotton or wool blouse with winter jacket ?

sinkor,
Gd for you wor... I missed the food le... haiz... hope to go there again.....
Mimi,
Normally I wear a t-shirt(1st layer), wool sweater (2nd layer) and my down jacket (3rd layer). For bottom, I wear long john and jean or just pant made of cotton. That time i went not that cold.. not sure if now its getting colder or not leh.. i think you better check the temp ba.. in case you go there and its cold.. ^^
Forgot to mention the day i touched down.. its the so-called 1st day of the 4 warmer days. They said the weather in Korea is 3 cold days followed by 4 warmer days. And Jeju is not as cold as other part of Korea.
