3. Get your SIM card!
You can get your Korea 4G SIM card through Trazy from RM 113! You’ll hear us mentioning about Trazy a lot, because they helped add on to our Korean experience by keeping us connected.
Trazy is Korea’s #1 one-stop travel booking site where travelers can discover the latest happenings in their travel destination. They also provide the best deals and offers in the most convenient way possible for travelers!
4. Stay in a Hanok hotel.
Hanok are traditional Korean houses known for their wooden beams, unique roof shape, and hanji wallpaper. We stayed in Gyeongwonjae Ambassador Incheon, apparently the most beautiful and prestigious Hanok hotel in Songdo, Incheon. The 2D1N package starting from RM 2,609 comes with a tranquil breakfast at the hotel restaurant and a self-photoshoot at Songdo’s photo studio!
