South Korea 2012 Budget

"How much did you spend on your travel?" I always get this question after I traveled ^^ I politely says that I am not yet done computing my expenses, but more or less *amount* ^^ Yes,  it is very important for travelers to know how much he/she will spend on his/her travel (IMO ^^). I always have my draft expenses on every travel, so it wouldn't be hard for me to budget my money. For this South Korea trip, I almost spend less than 20,000php, that includes everything from the travel tax, terminal fee, cab, food, shopping, etc.

Computed South Korea expenses:

** I did not include the food and shopping budget here, it really depends on you.

** Coffee Prince - the 7,000won is price for 1 coffee, you need to order first to take pictures inside ^^

McDonald's Myeong-dong cheeseburger meal only cost 3,000won. (try Bulgogi Burger ^^)

KFC Meal is around 4,600won - up.

We did not try to dine in any Korean restaurant, my tolerance for spicy foods is low ^^ 

For Super Junior fans, dining at Handel & Gretel would cost around 7,000won. Coffees/Lattes 3,000won - up. Kona Beans coffees/lattes price range is just the same with H & D.

If your guesthouse/hotel has a free breakfast that would also saves on your budget ^^, just like in Namsan Guesthouse 3. (they have free breakfast) ^^ 

For your shopping expenses, well it really depends on you ^^ Bring a lot of WON ^^

You can always use your credit card anyways, the exchange rate is just fine.

You can also withdraw from ATMs around South Korea (if you have International ATM).

Enjoy your travel to the Land of Morning Calm ^^
