Early winter in Gangwon-do, 2 November 2009.
As you can see, it can get prettty chilly so here are some tips:
- You definitely need winter woollies. I'd suggest you layer and layer instead of packing heavy-duty winter jackets. For other tips, click here.
- Find an ondol-style room. The warmth emanating from the floors is very comforting and sometimes so cosy that you may not want to leave the room!
- You need a good strong umbrella especially for Jeju where it's been known to rain a lot.
- Shop for naeboks! Could be a nice and unusual souvenir from Korea which you can use again in other cold places.
