[tisay4476]

^hindi sis, kasi di naman kami pumunta eh 

[FabFabFab)]

depends on the age i think... my sister is 18 years old and she was asked to appear at the embassy.  if im not mistaken, those born from 1987 to 1990 has to make an appearance =)  they asked lang naman daw if she's going to study or work in china.

[purple_passion]

^Shoot talaga sis? Naku my friend was born in 1987 Pero College graduate naman siya Di ba pwedeng dun nalang sa shenzhen/HK border mag fill up/asikaso ng enhry?

[iluvescadasport]

^pwede, but if hindi ka na-approve, sayang.

[iluvescadasport]

^ I was about to ask that

We're from davao pa kasi and I googled the chinese embassy. Its in manila pa ata. Pwede bang agency nalang kuha for us? And kailangan pa ba ng personal appearance sa pagclaim? Thanks in advance!

Once Upon a Time in Beijing (part I)

Once Upon a Time in Beijing (part II)

[mommy_donya]

Anong place ba ang mas malinis and kid-friendly, Shanghai or Beijing? Umabot ba Great Wall sa Shanghai?

[lakwatsa]

mga sis, would anyone here know kung nagbibigay na ulit sa Lo Wu (HK-Shenzhen border) ng visa going to Shenzhen? dati kasi di ba pwede na dun ka na lang kumuha mismo on the day of your visit kung sa Shenzhen ka lang din naman maglalakwatsa. Tapos ni-stop nila yun gawa ng olympics. ngayon ba nagresume na ulit? 

[glittersky]

anyone who has applied for visa recently? so kung first time to go to china, ok lang pa pprocess thru a travel agency? ayoko sana kase pumila kahit sa baba lang ng building namin yung hehe.

[pinkychel]

[pinkychel]

I just came from my trip (Saigon-Beijing-Dalian-Beijing-Saigon)...

Grabe shopping to the max sa Beijing, i was brought to 2 markets na parang Divisoria nila...super mura and haggle to the highest level level talaga...shoes which were priced at 480RMB nakuha ko lang ng 34RMb

halos lahat ng napamili ko natawaran ko up to 90% discount.

never got the chance to go to tourist spots though kase puro pamili ginawa ko

i stayed in holiday inn at beijing, then shangrila Dalian.

[lakwatsa]

^ganyan talaga sis sa china. times 100 yun presyo nila kaya talagang 90% discount dapat ang hingin mo. hahabulin ka pa nila pag umayaw ka. hehe

[sky_doll]

i'll be going in china this July, it's a business trip together with my Singaporean officemate... we'll be staying in Beijing for 2 days only (takas lang yun!hehe). sis, akala ko sa China konti lang ang chinese people na nakaka-pagenglish? pano kayo nakakatawad?
 

[sky_doll]

my company enrolled us in a mandarin class... medyo mahirap even yung mga locals dito sa singapore na hindi chinese, nakakaintindi sila pero some they do not speak mandarin kasi sa language nila same words but different pronuanciation... pag nagkamali ka ng pronounce, iba na meaning nun! baka magalit pa kausap mo na chinese! pero yung numbers and money, alam ko na kung pano! hehe buti na lang! makakatulong yun sa tawaran... hehe

mga sis, magaganda ba mga dress sa beijing?

[lakwatsa]

^sis, they usually show you the price using a calculator. tapos syempre dun ka na tumawad using calculator din. hehe. 

[Gladz31842]

kasama ko staff na chinese sis tsaka yon nga calculator din...natutuwa lang ako kase they don't mind na foreigner ka na pag tumawad ka ibibigay talaga pero sa saigon kase pag tumawad ka knowing na foreigner ka good luck nalang kase di talaga ibiibgay gusto mong price kahit may kasama kang local..magbibigay man 1% kase mentality nila foreigner madaming pera so may pambili

sa china naman basta nakabenta lang ok na kaya hahabol talaga sila...i think may tax rebates kase sila sa mga nabebenta so walang lugi talaga, supported ng govt.

[sky_doll]

thanks mga sis! na-excite ako after ko mabasa tong thread na to! kkaexcite mag-shopping! gusto ko sana mamili sa outlet e... meron ba nun sa beijing? or sa shanghai lang yun? TIA

[carxs]

Mga sis help naman po kung pano yun magprocess ng chinese visa?? we'll be visiting beijing baka this sept. For single entry lang.. ask ko lang kung [textspeak!] yun mga requirements?? nalilito kasi ako sa mga sinusuggests ng mga iab e.. yun iba kasi sabi need pa daw ng NBI clearance..

Salamat ng marami!!

Travel Agencies tend to ask for less requirements than applying for a tourist visa on your own. If you are willing to pay for the "service charge" of travel agents, it will make your life easier as you won't have to go to the embassy anymore.
