Aww thank you so much! But oooof thats a tough one - if you’re talking cash vs card, i would only bring maybe like $100-$150usd equivalent of cash (and even then, it might be surplus) since cafes will most likely take card. But if you’re talking budget, thats really up to the individual. I spent a range of $10-$15usd for a drink+dessert at cafes during my trip. I hope that was helpful? 😅

It will be COLD in december, but also be prepared for the subway to blast you with heat the moment you get on. For store hours, check naver or the store ig for the most updated. A lot of shops are mom & pop shops so their hours can change due to the owner having something going on. You just never know 🤷🏻‍♀️ Check out the christmas installations cuz they like to go all out at malls and stuff for the holidays hehe
