My friend is in Seoul right now. Sabi niya nasa 3deg daw ang temp. When we were there last year (last week of March), siguro umabot sa 8 or 9 yung temp sa gabi. Pero carry lang. Enjoy naman kasi naabutan namin yung pag-bloom ng cherry blossoms. I want to go back next year. Mura lang kasi nagastos ko compared sa mga short trips ko sa SG. Dun sa one week stay ko, mga around 20k nagastos including plane tix, accommodation, transpo, food, and shopping. Kung di siguro ako nag-shopping ng bongga sa Myeongdong, mga nasa 15k or less lang gastos ko. 😄

Around how much ang winter jacket sa seoul? Any idea? Thanks!

[travelling_daisy]

^^ sis jazz17, we'll be going too in Spring next year. Sana maabutan namin cherry blossoms. Need pa ba sis thick jackets or thermals pag spring or okay na cardigans and ordinary jackets? Thanks.

[jazz17]

^ Na-survive ko naman ang cami, long sleeves top, and ordinary jacket. Minsan may scarf. Then tights/leggings, dalawa suot ko. Feelingera ako eh, naka-skirt or dress pa ko minsan. 😄 Thermals siguro, talagang needed and probably one thick jacket is ok. Kasi ako cardigans and ordinary jackets lang dala ko. Na-survive naman. Gloves lang wala kaya nilamig hands ko pero isang beses lang. Sa Nami Island, dress, two tights, cardigan, and boots suot ko. Di naman ako nilamig. 😊

Going back to Korea next year, Nov 8-15. Sana autumn na talaga abutan namin!

[travelling_daisy]

^^Thanks, sis jazz17. We'll pack thermals na lang to be sure.

[kittycat228]

saang area pwede mag stay pag food trip and shopping lang?

[kachich]

Currently in Korea,3 days in Seoul and now bound for Busan.

For clothing:
0 to 10 degrees (and forecast with rain!); thermals (pants and top) + jeans and another top + thick jacket + rubber shoes and thick socks will do

5 degrees up (and sunny ang forecast): top + jeans and thick jacket will do

Mas okay ang thermals ng marks and Spencer than Uniqlo (although I have lang naman the normal heattech), nilamig ako kahit na I was wearing one inner heattech na and another heattech l/s + jacket pero ginaw na ginaw pa rin ako --nag ssnow at 4degrees lang in Nami!

---------
Myeongdong ang go to area ng mga pinoy for food spots and shopping (although mas marami makeup stores).

Personally these are my picks:
Clothes/Pens/Toys shopping:
Dongdaemun

Food:
Gwangjang Market in Jongno 5-ga station


Haven't been to Noryangjin Market.
Next time!

^thanks for your post sis. Very helpful. now i know na kung ano dapat iprepare for our trip next year.

Pag dun sa snow kaya ba na rubber shoes or boots pa rin?

[kachich]

^Better if boots or shoes na hindi agad agad pinapasukan ng water.

Hi Sisses,

I have a question, possible ba tong itinerary namin:

Morning: Nami Island
Afternoon (12:00-4:30pm) : Half day ski at Yong pyong resort or any ski resort near Nami Island
Evening : Garden of the morning calm

and kung late kami aalis ng garden of morning calm may bus or train pa ba kaming masasakyan?

TIA!

[valhiei_11]

[twinkle belle]

Has anybody tried going to Korea ng winter with a toddler (2.5y/o)? We plan kasi pumunta ng 2nd-3rd week ng November (2016) pero worried kami baka super lamig.

[fornarina]

Hi girls, naabutan ko -1 nung nov 26 lol buti nalang handy dandy talaga yung heattech.... Looked around for winter wear mas sulit ang prices talaga sa uniqlo mga ₩120,000-200,000 yung down feather ones.... Nag first snow na sa Nseoul last week naabutan namin kaso pag baba na sa city ambon na hehe
