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....
