First of all I would like to apologize if there's any typos in the content since I'm typing in the dark .... the perks of not having a room and have to sleep in the living room -_-'
So on my third time to Korea, I started my bad old habit back : leaving travel essentials.
On this post I would like to remind you on things that you shouldn't forget to bring especially if you're on tight budget!
What I have to bring to South Korea for travelling purpose?
This is 3 top important essential bla bla bla that you need to have in your luggage!
1. A
Well~ since S.Korea is using a different type of plug ( the one like Europe ) and it is rare to find Malaysia and even England charger with that type of plug... better bring your own travel adapter. IN the UK, poundland might help you to save some money for a travel adapter.
Malaysia?
I recommend to find it online or.... ok I have never find one in Malaysia RM2 shop... but I bet there are some shops that sell it ... cheaper... maybe? You can comment below for shops in Malaysia that sell affordable travel adapter. Highly appreciated!
I just found the high quality one in computer shop which costs RM50+ T.T waaaa so expensive weh~
I bought once in S.Korea. The one I found in the convenience store costs me 6000KRW = RM24 = 4++quids! It is quite expensive considering you can just get it in poundland for a quid... Daiso also sells it! 5000KRW = RM20 = 4quids.
For the UK, just get it in your own country which I believe will be more cheaper than getting it in S.Korea :)
2. Hot summer? Deodorant is a must!
Why am I saying this? If you need deodorant/antiperspirant on hot summer, better get one in Malaysia before departing! We know how low our currency is compared to Korean Won... and I was sighing while buying a new deodorant... It costs me 9900KRW = RM40. Weh~ that could afford me to eat twice in Yogane (with addition of 100KRW) TT.TT
But I just spent on it cuz... I really need it :( So guys remember! If you need it, bring it ! Don't buy it there.
And they have less choice considering they are a four seasons country. I just bought Bourjois (that is on promo) from France -__-;

3. Halal instant food !
It is really really hard to find halal food in South Korea... like most of the time you'll only find kebab (which I don't fond after eating most of it in the UK and wherever in the Europe for 4 years) and proper halal restaurants are mostly in Itaewon.
A day or two might be good to spend on the proper food. Proper food I mean a bowl of rice, banchans (side dishes) and main dish.
So bring your own halal instant food to save up some of your money for an extra goods!
I always make sure to bring Brahims ( a halal pack of main dish like chicken curry etc). However, a pack of Brahim costs you nearly RM7 and it is only for 1-2 servings... So, another option that I have found recently is Tesco brand ! However, the bad news is they don't have varieties dish yet! I just bought a pack of chicken curry that only costs me RM4 something if I'm not mistaken and it is wayyyyyyy more delicious than Brahim's !
Halal ramyuns are not sold in South Korea. So if you want to eat it, bring your own from Malaysia :) and buat lah fefeeling you all wanted to beside Hangang ^^

| Only two options : Extra or not ~ |
This is not only essential for a solo traveler ! A group would want too! Who would want to be left out from the picture right?
So bring your own selfie stick/ monopod! Why would you spend extra money in S.Korea when you can find cheaper one in Malaysia right?
And for those who's like me, that loves to disassemble my monopod...please do not leave any of the parts behind~ Well I left out the phone holding part ... and I just bought a new one in Busan for ... 7000krw -_____-;
Not good.
So make sure you check twice that all the parts are together :D
Maybe these four are things that I could only thought right now... getting sleepy~ Why my eyes couldn't stand even for an hour nowadays.. aigoo~
Anyway enjoy reading this and I'll continue adding things if I remember anything! :D
Have fun packing and don't forget to send my regards to Infinite Hoya if you see him! :p
