Hi Dre, just want to ask how much did you spend for the entire trip?
Hi Janus! I don’t have a breakdown, but I had to consider my family for my spending money during my trip. I brought 25k with me, which I used to pay for some of my whole family’s meal. We’re 7, by the way.
Wow! you are 7 in the family and you were to budget it to 25k? im a first timer and i really want to know how will i be able to go round and about SoKor without spending too much. help please 🙂
Hi Kaiye 🙂 That’s my personal budget. My other family members also had their own pocket money. To be honest, getting around isn’t that expensive. What’s expensive are buying pasalubong. 😉
Hello! Do you know what time we can go to Bukchon Hanok Village? Is it open at 8am? 🙂
Hello! Since this is a residential area with people living in those houses, the operating hours there is 9am–6pm. 🙂
