Can't believe august 1st is tomorrow! Been anticipating this day since I bought my ticket to seoul!! I am so excited!!! You probably know that I am from my previous posts how I did my research etc. I tried to do last minute review on places I want to visit. This time I am trying to factor in the weather. Based on the weather forecast I received from our hotel, it seems like the weather isn't that bad. 25-31 degree celcius seems to be the norm now. I am pretty happy with that. I do miss winter but hey! Summer means shorts and light clothes. I can't complain!
So! I don't know about you but my suitcase is usuallt 80% packed many days before my actual departure. I know Seoul is a shopping heaven and I prolly shouldn't bring too much clothes with me but I normally dont wear new clothes straight away. Mainly for hygiene reason (seriously, do you think the stores laundry all the clothes before they display it? Even if they did, dust and bacteria have prolly collected after a period of time).
Anyway, so if you want to know what I have packed with me, here it is:
1. Day Clothes x 9 sets
I am going there for 9 days so I guess I wont have time to go back to the hotel and change. So one set a day is enough. What I mean by set is either dress or a pants + top. To be honest with you, I never travel light. I bring my entire wardrobe with me everytime I travel. I just had a hard time choosing what to bring!!
2. Undies x 18sets
3. Shoes
I want to elaborate on shoes a little. With Seoul currently have a monsoon and summer, I am bound to adjust my footwear accordingly. I am bringing with me:
- a pair of rain boots
- a pair of sandals
- a pair of heels.
- pocket shoes
Heels might you ask?! I wear heels like I wear flats and it makes me look better in picture too. (I am very petite).
4. Skin care product.
Again, I know Seoul is a skin care heaven butttt I don't use Korean product. Well, I am yet to embark in one so I have to stick with my current ritual.
5. Make ups and hair curler.
6. Shower gel, toothpaste, shampoo
I don't use hotels shampoo nor shower gel. My hair gets dry when I use a wrong product so I have to use my own stuffs.
7. Misc. Items: charger, camera, ipad, books, tissue (?), korea discount coupons (like tons of it)
8. Last but not least: korean won and passport!
Actually some USD would be good too. I exchange some money in singapore (so far I think the best rate is at silver river money changer at marina) but I also bring some sgd and usd with me. I have one coupon that gives me 30% discount on the charge when exchange money.
9. Print your itinerary
Well that or have it ready somewhere in your electronic gadget. I prefer to have a print out version. My itinerary is DAEBAK! lol. You can view it on my previous post but if you want the pdf version, drop me an email or comment below.
10. Some medicine
Like panadol or ur usual medicine. My mom always pack some medicine whenever we travel so I guess I grow up to think that its part of the necessities.
Allright everyone! I'm gonna update this blog soon with day to day details!
WATCH THIS SPACE
xoxo,
