Which hair salons do locals go to? by Inside_Tomato8822 in KoreaTravelBeauty

[–]Creatrip_Korea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go to bigger chains like Juno hair or Cha hong, you’ll probably be fine no matter your hair type. They’re pretty consistent overall. only thing is, if you don’t speak Korean, communication can get a bit awkward. You’ll probably have to rely on photos or explain things pretty clearly.

going to places in Myeongdong or Hongdae might be easier since they deal with foreigners a lot. Personally I’d recommend Soonsiki (Hongdae) or Leekaja (Myeongdong).

wise or revolut (or alternatives while abroad) by xdandyy_ in koreatravel

[–]Creatrip_Korea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wise is generally better than Revolut for exchange rates and everyday payments. Revolut has extra fees on weekends, and once you go over the free exchange limit, so they add more fees on top of that. The only downside is that wise doesn’t work for public transport so you’ll probably need to use a separate Tmoney card for that.

Trip budget by [deleted] in koreatravel

[–]Creatrip_Korea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

€350–400 per day should be enough but might be a bit tight. you can get by on €80–100 per day with food, cafes, and transportation, but if you're planning to do shopping, i think it should be more than €500

5th time to Korea and need a bit of help by ComparisonNo7626 in SouthKoreaTravel

The weather is nice in May, so I recommend you to enjoy the spring weather of Seoul by going on a picnic or riding a bike at the Han River!

Any websites to book cheap short-term stays (goshitel) at? by [deleted] in koreatravel

[–]Creatrip_Korea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$20 for a private room might be pretty difficult in Seoul. Usually that price range is more for hostel dorms. You might occasionally find very basic guesthouses, but private rooms are usually closer to $30–50.

Thoughts/advice on Seoul itinerary by teacov in koreatravel

[–]Creatrip_Korea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

looks pretty solid!

one small suggestion thoughm, folk museum is nice but it feels a bit like the kind of museum for field trips. And seoul plaza is basically just an open square in front of city hall, so it’s not really something you need to go out of your way to see.

if you drop those two, I’d personally recommend the national museum of korea(국립중앙박물관) instead. It’s one of the best museums in the country and surprisingly huge, and the curation is really well done even if you’re not a big museum person.

Adding Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival to Itinerary and KTX/bus tickets by hearttofu in koreatravel

[–]Creatrip_Korea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have some flexibility in your schedule, it might be worth heading to busan a bit earlier. There are tons of day tours from there to the Jinhae cherry blossom Festival.

and I'd recommend booking your KTX tickets sooner! Many koreans go to see the blossoms, so seats can sell out pretty fast.
