PLANNING FOR KR

If you are like me travelling to a snowing country to experience real winter for the first time, I totally understand how you feel. It will be about 3 to 7 degrees when I am in Korea so God bless me please. People are all telling me that winter in Korea is BITTER COLD. I have been to Taiwan during their colder seasons but of course it is nothing compared to what I will be facing in two months time and I hope whatever that I will be able to withstand the chills come December.

The lowest I had in Taiwan was 13 degrees and to be very honest, I struggled a lot to keep myself warm cause I was in a freaking short gown during the shoot. I thought I packed well during my visit to Taiwan but there were days when I actually struggled with even 16 degrees and I am in my coat and inner wears. So this time round, I am definitely going for even thicker outwears with better long johns. Note to all, UNIQLO's heat-tech inner wear does not work quite well for me in Taiwan so I don't know if I should still waste luggage space to bring them along. They ain't too heavy/bulky though.

There, the wind was literally blowing right into my bones.

So here's what I am planning to bring for my upcoming Korea trip - 2 sets of longjohns // 3 pieces of heat tech tops // 5 pieces of knit tops // 2 pairs of fur lined leggings // 1 pair of jeans // 2 pieces of scarves // socks // lounge wear // my fake winter boots I bought from TaoBao for Taiwan. I don't know if these are enough though.

Anyways, I just checked out the following from Taobao. I know I am kinda slow but I am finally using Taobao's direct shipping and/or appointed forwarder instead of using an agent or our own (okay, no more our own cause I have left my company) GFS china to freight my purchases. Here's what I bought.. I will probably do a review when my items have arrived. Can't wait !!
