Travel: Korea - General

I have just ordered Long John from Gmarket @$25 (first time on line shopping). I need another one, may order another one after I received the product. But I am not comfortable to wear it as first layer as the fur is in contact with skin. I am thinking to get thin thermal wear as first layer.

For footwear, is track shoes or converse canvas shoes sufficient or we must buy boots?


Buying winter wear really cost a bomb. :moneyflies: :moneyflies: :moneyflies:

based on experience, better to get boots. but they also have heatpads for toes. get wools socks too.
