From my visit, like quite easy. And all those skincare shops are everywhere. SIL even went to the wholesale market at midnight!

Then is it safe if my gf goes alone? Transport easy?

SIL and our cousin, 2 girls, went on their own. Heard signs are in English also. I didn't go out on my own or with DH. Got 2 monsters to manage.

PP?

[quote=\"straffan23\"]Me... me abandoning the children and going for a holiday with girlfriends <GRIN>


After the holiday, usually hubby, children and maid will be more appreciative of my existance! I do this once every 1 to 3 years...

Had wanted to do this with some close friends end of the yr after DS' O levels. But alas, maybe it's not meant to be afterall cos Bangkok as at now seems an unlikely destination. Yet to come up with an alternative place ... :xedfingers:

Korea :evil:[/quote]Yes! V.tempted but one of our friend is not willing to leave her family for like longer than 4 - 5 days ... so we shall see ba. :xedfingers:

You need empty luggage to bring home your stash of skincare and kids stuff. Just be prepared to pay GST on them when you arrive.

Safe lah, 100% guarantee. In my home thread, i talked about the Korean's dislike for excessive bargaining by Chinese tourists so do not make this mistake. Just name a price and not bargain like fish market. I blended in very well in the crowd too. Bought a packet of grilled cuttlefish and sit in the open and enjoyed the crowd. I even had an Indian guy trying to make friend with me once he heard me speaking in English. My verdict is Korea is a safe country just that our pocket may not be that safe.

no worries lah. you can send your \"loot\" by EMS at any nearby post office... transit time is about 4 days.

IIRC, i paid about S$ 50 on EMS to mail back about 15kg of skincare products last year.
