Tips to prepare before to Seoul:
1) Passport
2) Pen to fill up the immigration form
3) Mask - in case you are paranoid about Mers (in fact no one wear mask in Seoul, specially the local. Not as serious as what reported by media. Just avoid visiting hospital. Remember Mers is not airborne.
4) Extra Money- Emergency use, basically RM2500 for 7 days is more than enough. In case you want to do shopping, bring more.
New experience:
1) Carry your own trash bag while you travel. It is kind of hard to find trash can in Seoul. The environment is extra clean.
2) Avoid taking train during peak hour, it's amazingly PACK.
3) Safety is consider GOOD.
4) 90% of the place provide you free WIFI. Imagine I walk on the street, WIFI is available.
5) If you plan to buy sim card, get it once you touch down Airport. Their convenience store seldom sell sim card.
6) It's hard for foreigner to grab a taxi, cause most of them don't speak English. Choose ORANGE cab rather than silver or black one. Reason cheaper, make sure driver using metre.
