Finally... This is an entire month's spending here in South Korea. Let me know what do you think, whether is this cost reasonable or do you think it's really expensive living in Korea. I'm here for another month and will be based in Jeju, where I'll have the opportunity to live like a local (somewhat). So if Jeju's expenses is what you're interested in, let me know! I'll do up a video after I end my 1 month stay there, roughly around end of November! :)
If you enjoyed this video, give it a like, it'll really help with supporting this channel! Constructive feedback is always welcome!! 🙂

Hi Demi, nice video! I m really surprised that the accommodations in Korea is so affordable for the quality! Could the affordable price be because of the Low tourist demand since China is still under lockdown?

@DemiZhuang Жыл бұрын

Hi! Thank you :) Surprisingly I do see quite a lot of chinese on holiday here. I think it's the timing of when I booked the accommodations. When I checked on property early october it had started to increase.

How about the transport like..: For taxi app, what cab app would u recommend for korea

@DemiZhuang Жыл бұрын

Taxi, download Uber and KakaoT! I toggled between these 2 apps! If not, I usually flag them down on the road, if the sign says 빈차, means they are free and empty! I’ve only frequently cabbed in Seoul October onwards!

Hi Dami! Thank you so much for a great video! We are travelling to Korea in April this year. Would you mind give me the name of the hotel that you are staying? We will be travelling with 2 kids. The hotel looks nice and if we can access to gym would be fantastic! Thank you so much, Jen

Hi Demi, very nice video rendered again.. contents was good for travellers. Just to check, for Kaokao T, if we registered kaokao T using Singapore number account can it be used for booking cab in Korea ? can taxi driver still make kaokao call or must have korean phone number ?

@DemiZhuang Жыл бұрын

Thank you for your kind words! 🙂 I have never called w the taxi drivers before! Usually they just arrive at where you are at, the location is pretty accurate!
