oo mga sis ang mahal pa din ng cebpac na sale kahit naka 50%off na, habol sana ako ng autumn e hahaha booooo! pabalk balik na lang sa Korea... 

Few tips from my recent trip:

-prepare to walk and walk, subway pa lang pagod ka na hahanapin mo pa yung pupuntahan mo, so make sure you're wearing a comfortable shoes/sandals.  If you're in a group better to rent a van or take a cab lalo pag uwian na, save your soles para ma enjoy yung trip lalo kung ilang days lang kayo...
-prioritize yung mga places na pupuntahan, keep a map,gps and your itinerary with you always
-prepare a lot of wons if you'll go shopping and make sure alam nyo closing time ng mga stores na pupuntahan nyo.
-learn basic korean expressions or atleast keep a list with you... mahirap magtanong sa kanila ng english minsan di ka papansinin or hirap din talaga, most of the time gestures, senyasan lang pero nakukuha naman hehe, mababait mga Koreans (atleast the people we've met)
-keep the complete address and telephone numbers and contact person ng guesthouse/hotel nyo para in case napalayo kayo, madali kayo makauwi.

yan muna...

Super babait naman ng mga Koreans, dami namin na encounter dun na napagtanungan namin na talagang sinamahan pa kami, na todo sketch pa ng way, basta the best sila sakin (bias lang). So far wala akong naging bad experience dun, at ang dami kong gustong balikan dun, kung pwede ngang dun na lang tumira :P

For me, madali lang maglibot libot dun, research lang talaga sa place, make sure na magkakalapit lang yung mga dapat puntahan in a day. :)

@bigdadis_girl: Sis, san guesthouse kayo nagstay?

I'm still on the process of deciding which guesthouse we should stay in. Right now I'm leaning on Namsan II for the price and accessibility (accessibility to Myeongdong and the subway).

wah sis khaesj what happen?
I think one reason yung sa TIN

(fr. http://www.buhaykorea.com/south-korea-tourist-visa-filipinos/)
The submission of false or misleading document will be one of the reasons of refusal of a visa.
Please be reminded all the responsibility is on the applicant even if applying for a visa through a travel agency or agents. Please reconfirm all the documents before applying a visa.
(e.g. wrong TIN number in Income Tax Return, no office number in the certificate of employment, etc.)

Hi sisses, I will be going to Korea with my mom this coming October, I want to know if  3 days is enough or is it better to stay 4 days instead?

I also want to know because I am a Dubai resident but I am a Philippine Passport holder, I don't know if I can apply my visa from the Korean consulate here in Dubai or since I will be coming from Manila to Korea, I should apply at the Korean consulate in Manila?  I will get invitation letter from my company kasi our head office is in Korea, so I'm hoping my visa application will be hassle free.

Thank you.

^sis make it 4 days na, super enjoy dun, daming pwedeng puntahan  ;D
regarding visa app, siguro mas okay na dito ka na lang magpaprocess kasi dito naman manggagaling yung invitation mo.

Thanks sis, sige I will book four days na, iyong invitation ko from my company here in Dubai kaya I don't know maybe it's better to call siguro iyong embassy ng Korea dyan sa Manila.

Thanks.

waaaah ganda ng seoul. sarap balikan. sarap ng pagkain nila. medyo malamig pa ng nasa seoul kami, parang baguio ang climate. pag tanghali medyo mainit pero malamig naman hangin.

Mga sis feedback naman jan regarding yeosu expo.. Feeling ko kasi ang ganda ganda nya sayang kung di mapupuntahan, kaso malayo kasi sya sa Anyang where we will be staying :( Pero kung maganda talaga, gora lang! Hihi.

sis nagpunta kami sa yeosu. grabe ganda ng world expo, sarap ng mga pagkain sa expo, kaso super mahal. mas maliit eto yeosu expo kesa sa shanghai pero mas nag enjoy ako dito sa yeosu.

@khaesj: sinabi mo ba sis na magkasama kayo ng friend mo? baka naka-affect din yun syo? :-\ sad to hear that naman.

alam ko nga apply ka ulit after 6 mos. pa. If may flight ka na, pa-rebook mo nalang siguro para di sayang :(

@aranses: thanks sa feedback sa weather sis! at least di ko kailangan magdala ng sobrang pang-lamig na clothes :P

i heard pala masarap rice cakes dun, similar to our "kakanin" here.. okay pa kaya yun if I buy the night before and trip aback to manila? gusto ko kasi sana mag-uwi. i was thinking baka okay na pasalubong sa officemates para hindi the usual chocolates... :) are their ramyeons and korean munchies cheaper there? baka pwede na mag-uwi than bilhin ko sa korean grocery dito! i love the instant ramyeon kasi spicy and the Pepero kasi e!

@sis khaesj

sorry to hear that sis. there's still next time! ako nga di nawalan ng hope nung second time na. hihi! cheer up! :) hunt na lang uli ng sale tickets.

kahit na alam na magkakasama kayong nagapply, for example there's one number para sa inyong lahat, di pa rin yun makakaincrease ng chances na maapprove ka. ganun nangyari sakin before, 6 kami nagapply ako lang denied.

@sis u8mypinkcookies: Pepero is almost the same lang ang price sa Landmark Supermarket. parang mas mura pa nga eh. tama mas mura pa kasi ~PhP38 sa SK dito ~PhP31 lang.  yun nga lang yung original flavor lang ang nandito. wala yung nude at almond na mas gusto ko. LOL. tapos yung ramyun naman, di ko nacheck yung presyo, nalimutan ko na ata.


naalala ko lang sa may subway station malapit sa Insadong kami namili ng mga pasalubong sa officemates. yung parang apa na brown. ang sarap! :D mura pa! haha! Anguk station ba yun. limot ko na! haha!
