How was the shower there? Was it uncomfortable having the shower head over the sink?
It was difficult since the water was spewing every where but after a while we got used to it.
how did you get your parents to allow you to go to korea
We kept on asking them over and over again and reassured them that everything was going to be okay. Also, since our parents knew who we were travelling with they also instilled their trust.
hi! was it very windy in seoul when you went in january?
It was more cold than windy. But there was a day where we went to Gyeongbokgung and it was superrrr windy - we think it's because we went near the mountains. Haha.

We were born in 1995. The international age is 18 years old or 19 Korean age. Hope this helps as this is something we find difficult explaining.
How / where did you guys convert your money when you were going to Korea?? Just at the airport, or did you do it before?
We converted our money at the airport and also there are many money conversions in Myeongdong.
hey! was wondering if you did vlog when going to the clubs in korea or any part of the getting ready for clubs process either in your 2013-2014 or 2015 trip? I'm planning a trip to korea in jan 2016 with 4 of my friends so this would be highly helpful!! thanks very much :)
No we didn't vlog in clubs or getting ready. But what we can tell you is that clubbing in Korea is quite casual in terms of what you wear. We simply wore a sweater, jeans and heeled boots since it was winter. Hope this help. :)
Hi^^ just wondering when u stated you spend around 4000 for shopping expenses in seoul does this include both of your expenses or each? Also is it in aud or usd? As me and my friends are planning to go for around 17-18 days this sep however we dont know exactly or around how much is needed, tqvm!
This is each of us and it was in AUD.
where did u go to withdraw money in korea?
We used Citibank or KEB.
Hi do we need passport or ID card or anything beside our stuffs at the post office?
No you don't but you need a Korean address to add to the "From" section. So make sure to get your guest house address.
i was watching your day 22 seoul vlog and michelle said you (diemmy) finally got into the course you wanted to do in uni, was just wondering how that process was :)
Thank you so much for asking! I accepted my offer during Korea and now I'm studying the course I have always dreamt about! :)
Hi you guys mentioned that you sent package to Australia. I wonder which post office you guys went to? Did you guys use EMS or normal air parcel or surface parcel and how long did the package arrive to your house? I wonder if you guys recorded a video about it and on which day was it? thanks!
We went to a post office in Hongdad, yet we don't know how to explain the exact location. Also we sent it via EMS and the package took around 4days- up to a week (max) to arrive. We went to the post office in our Day 21 vlog, however there is also more information about sending post back from our Korea Trip Guide (http://youtu.be/Re85UZJi1Ec) Hope this helps. :)
Do you think Korea is safe to visit with a family? I am planning to go with my family.
Yes! It's definitely a safe country to visit with family. :)
If u dont use t money card for a long time, like a year or so. Do u have to buy a new one or can u still use it?
We are pretty sure they still work since we used our t money cards after a year and they still worked.
Are you guys going somewhere on your summer holiday?
Do you mean our end of year break or our current mid year break? At the end of the year we are both going to Vietnam with our families.

On your first trip to Korea, did you learn Hangul in advance?
Yes we did, we both knew how to read Hangul on our first trip.

It is currently closed and will hopefully be back in a couple of weeks.

Our blog will be up in a couple of weeks! And our showers had no shower stall it was an open shower to the bathroom. But it was fine.

Hi Diemmy and Michelle! I've been watching since your 2013 vlogs and you girls are the cutest :3 Just wondering if you girls know if it's cheaper to eat out or to buy groceries to cook myself?
Aw, thanks for watching! It really means a lot! And sorry we're not too sure since we always ate out but eating out in Korea is pretty cheap and super delicious as well. Haha.
do you think it'll be fine if i travel to korea by myself? im graduating high school this year so i'll eighteen, know barely any korean, and in terms of safety, what do you think?
We think it is fine if you travel to Korea by yourself. Korea is pretty safe in our opinion, however, you still need to be careful. You should also learn how to read Korean.
Have you been clubbing in Korea, what's it like?
Yes we did. It was a lot of fun but really crowded.
How did you guys save money so well? any tips? ^^;
We saved money over a long period time since we knew that we wanted to go on the trip. Also we would save weekly and limit our spending depending on the things that we needed. This was hard but worth is since we got to splurge all at on go. Some tips: - Have a goal and set aside some money each week for saving and make sure you stick to the plan - Think do you really need the item before purchasing - Bring packed lunches instead of buying lunch haha.
when you guys went to korea in december, how early did you book your tickets? and approx how much were they? and what airline? thanks!
We booked them around July and they were around $1700 (from memory) but this was also to Singapore. We went with Singapore airlines as we wanted to visit Singapore after Korea.
hi diemmy and michelle just saw your latest youtube post. the cat cafe was really cute. just wanna ask you what device did you use in doing your vlog? me and my sister are planning to travel to korea and do vlog for this trip. hope you can answer my question!!! happy day!!!
Yes the place was really nice and cozy! We alternate between the Sony A5000, iPhone 6 and Samsung S4! We hope you have good time with your sister in Korea! :)
What ethnicity are you?
Australian with a Vietnamese ethnic background.
when your haul video will up?
Hopefully after the vlog series.
Have you tried the Honey Butter Chips?!
No we haven't. But hopefully we can one day! (If we can find them. Haha)
Can you two speak fluent Korean?
No we can't.
Did Yall buy any shoes in Korea?:)
Yes we did! Mainly western branded shoes like converse and vans. And also some boots.
Hey Diemmy and Michelle! I am doing my HSC this year any advice? And can I ask what was your Atar?
Hi there! Just prepare your notes and memorise everything before the exam. Practice past papers as well - that helps a lot, especially because they sometimes use the same question but make small changes to it. Also prepare and practice essays. Also another important aspect is balance - make sure you have elements of studying and free time. All the best!
what are some reasons you guys love korea? do you think it is better than australia?
There's many things we love about Korea - the night life, the endless cafes, great shopping, good food and just the society. However, we can't say we think its better than Australia since we went there for a holiday, as opposed to living in Australia. However, every country has its pros and cons.
