Lala81 Hypersonic February 10, 2017 Share February 10, 2017 ok la.. but the authentic korean food.. u confirm can taste the difference... everything in SG is imported. so i guess local produce quality doesn't make a big difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dleodleo Twincharged February 11, 2017 Share February 11, 2017 (edited) Its like the Chinese take away food in Western countries. Once you eat Korean food in Korea you may not want to eat Korean food in Food Courts anymore. Yes! I agree with you! Korean food in Korea is so nice! They taste many times better than the Korean food in Singapore. The BBQ meat, noodles, kimchi and etc is so nice!

Dleodleo Twincharged February 11, 2017 Share February 11, 2017 ? So speak english to them better? Or should i pretend to be a Tiong? lol No need to act as a China man. They hate them anyway Look at how they behave badly overseas. We speak English to them. Those who couldnt understand will walk away. I usually will ask: Sorry, can you speak English? - when i need help for direction. Koreans are v friendly n helpful n most young people can speak English. I only speak Chinese when they speak Chinese to me. Btw, dun feel scare or paisay to ask if you are lost. I always get lost in my free n easy trip n i always ask for direction. Most shops, transportation staff can speak English. Bring a flask n fill with hot water for your kids to drink when they feel cold. Try not to stay outdoor for too long. Gyeongbokgong Palace is an outdoor attraction, wear thicker clothes that day. Walk further in is the korean museum (indoor). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hondauto 1st Gear February 13, 2017 Share February 13, 2017 just got back from Seoul last Dec....... did not really enjoy the whole 7 nights trip. I think the food is slightly more expensive than Tokyo. The mrt charges is about the same as Tokyo - just remember not to occupy those blue sits meant for elderly or pregnant ladies and the lifts are also meant for elderly as well. Just prepared to walk and walk and walk and up the stairs as well - can be quite tiring taking the mrt. The new Noryangjn fish market is also a let down - I do not want to comment too much but can try if you are a first timer. I spent around $500 (seafood + cooking) for 7 persons. I would rate 3 out of 10. Most restaurants or cafe staff were bit snobbish when they ssw us coming in - they thought we are from mainland. The minute we speak Singlish the whole scenario change........auto better service and attention!!!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic March 12, 2017 Share March 12, 2017 Whoever going Korea now is very lucky. The Chinese gov has stopped their people going as tourists. No more crowds of badly behaved, ill mannered, boorish, uncouth, loud mouth China tourists. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
