Hi all,


Just to share, that I just confirmed my 2D1N ski resort pkg with Winterfriend at 1700,000won for 7adult+5kids. Not sure if its cheap but at least hassle-free for us:
1) private transfer from Inc airport to Yongpyeong (Tower condo)
2) stay at tower condo for 1 night (3 units for our family)
3) gondola ride tickets for everyone
4) private transfer from yongpyong to our Seoul Ibis hotel the next day.

Does not include any ski rental (intend to go there see what we want to play first)
If sledding avail... maybe that's more fun for kiddos.

Note that their early bird 5% disc until end sep.

Hope this helps.

My last few trips there were like almost 15years ago lol.
This time i'm bringing my 2 kids along & for 9 days. yes cosmetics & skincare is very cheap if u using their brand. Happycall pan also abit cheap but need to handcarry onboard if u claiming tax refund.

since its autumn, i guess for clothes wise wont be that applicable but can still grab some & wear there. Ewha uni is a good place to shop for cheap ladies wear. Other markets will be the usual Dongdaemum (cater more for the young) & Namdaemun. What do u intend to buy?

Some chapalang stuff that we bought from Seoul.... We visited the lotte supermarket that is near nandemum and some train station. I like their 冬粉for the qq texture. Those are expensive in korea supermarket in Spore. We also bought lots of seaweed from the supermarket. dh also bought red ginseng however no one eats it. Xin noodles is also popular there but we didn't as that is too bulky.

Le sportsac is quite cheap there. There is a duty free shop in myeong dong. Can't recall if it is under lotte or... They sell branded stuff at duty free price. Quote in USD.

hi mummychia,

i was planning to buy happycall too... but handcarry seems a little troublesome.. i'll consider that if its really a lot cheaper.. do u happen to know their tax rebate rate?

that is very kind of u to mention the stores... i've taken them down... this is my first time there and i really dunno much about korea... i intend to buy face masks as xmas pressies too.... hope they are alot cheaper than in sg... i've been to hk many times but kr is the first... if u going hk, maybe i can also share...

btw, i'm stopping over at hk during transit as we are not taking direct flight... will stop in hk for 2 days...
