Hi all

I'm traveling with hand luggage for several months in warmer countries and I want to buy some smart clothes, not super formal but suitable for meetings and office wear. I would really appreciate some advice on what to buy, I do not live or travel to the US so please don't suggest any brands that are difficult to get outside of the US please :)

Shoes: I previously used some black Toms which were very light and looked quite nice, however they've changed their design and are much much heavier.

Shirts: Again I've looked at Muji linen shirts, but from the ones I've seen the coloured ones aren't really smart enough and the white ones are a bit see through, however maybe I've missed a design that would be good.

Trousers: I have a pair of grey Patagonia Hampis which I think will be fine, but any other suggestions very welcome. I was looking at Muji linen trousers which are a bit heavier but seem ok.

Thanks :)

Hi all 

I recently visited the street by Jongno 5-ga station with some amazing hiking and outdoor shops, but a lot of it is European brands out of my price range. Does anyone know if there are any second hand hiking stores in Seoul? 

Thanks :)

Hi all

I'm trying to find an English speaking dermatologist in Tokyo or the surrounding area for an autoimmune skin complaint. Does anyone know how I would go about finding one? I would like to find someone quite experienced, I've seen a lot of doctors and tried a lot of medications with limited success. Is there a website I can search for English speaking doctors on? Or could someone recommend someone?

Thanks very much

Hi all

I've had a skin rash for around 2 years and have been to see maybe 10 doctors about it in different countries and tried many different medications with limited success. I'm now in Seoul for some time and I figure it would be sensible to see a dermatologist or demapathologist while I'm here since Korea is so famous for skin care. I'm especially looking for one who specialises in autoimmune issues. Unfortunately I don't speak Korean beyond the basics.

Does anyone know how I would go about finding one?

Thanks very much

Hi all

I've been to many doctors including two dermatologists, a dermapathologist, rheumatologist and a immunologist for a rash on my face that has been there for over two years and tried many medications.

I'm visiting Seoul for maybe a month and I figure while I'm in a country famous for skincare I should try to see a dermatologist again. Does anyone know how I might find one? I'm especially looking for one who specialises in autoimmune issues

Thanks

Hi all

I'm going to Seould, Busan and perhaps other places in South Korea soon and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience or knows of any good guides?

Thanks 😄

Hi all

I'm a month in to a maybe 6 month journey around Asia with just hand luggage and I've ended up buying more clothes while I'm here and getting to the size limit of just smushing my clothes into my bag.

Previously I have found the rolling up clothes and putting them in socks method has really worked quite well and gets quite a lot of compression, I've never really got on with packing cubes, they seem to not get very much compression at all. I'm wondering if there are other options that are reliable, don't need electricity etc.

Thanks 😄
