1. Accomondation (Cozyplace in Itaewon Guesthouse, 4 nights) = 320,000/4 = 80,000
2. T- money card = 2,500 (got free from KTO) + 30,000 = 30,000
3. Tickets = 3,000 (Gyeongbokgung Palace) + (8,000 + 9,000) (Namsan Cable car + Observatory
Tower) + 8,000 (Nami Island) + 40,000 (Lotte World) = 68,000
4. Food = 100,000
5. Others (souvenirs, gifts,) = 150,000
TOTAL = 350000 W (RM 1394.18 RM 1400.00)
