may naaaprove ba na visa with just 70k in the bank?

[sparkelle]

Hello mga sis! Heads up lang sa weather nowadays dito sa Korea!

Medyo lumalamig na po, especially sa gabi. Umaabot na ng 18 degrees celsius at night, nakakagulat nga kasi parang Fall na ang range ng temp eh Summer palang dapat. Maulan kasi the past few weeks tapos biglang lumamig. Though maganda siya parang Baguio weather lang.

So mga sis dala kayo ng sweater/jacket para hindi mabigla sa lamig sa gabi!

[vhanya]

^thanks sis sparkelle. we are leaving for seoul on saturday. naguguluhan pa rin ako about the clothes that i'll pack buti na lang sinabi mo na mejo malamig na so i can bring my scarves and jackets wuhooooo!

we are going to stay in sutton hotel in jong-no (its the new hotel near the man-made river. tama ba? still no itinerary lol but when i checked the map, malapit lang yung hotel sa insadong and walking distance to myeongdong and the palaces. Is it really walking distance? minsan kasi nakakaloko yung map eh.

for my sister:
application form w/ picture (passport size)
reason to visit Korea: VACATION
length of stay: 1 week
ITR ( more than 2 years from present company)
COE (only stated the date hired)
Bank Cert - 35k+ (no detailed - no open date, only stated the amount)
Passport
travels: Hongkong & Macau


Sa BANK CERT, after makakuha ng sis ko, withdraw ko agad then transfer sakin. Di sila masyadong nababase sa amount ng money mo sa bank, importante talaga yung ITR & COE.

[katniss]

^sis esor sa COE pwede naman pala irequest kung ano yung mismong nakalagay? kasi sakin dati length of stay and salary lang eh. haha. next time ill do that too.

[esor]

^maarte lang sa company namin haha, di ko naman kasi ni request yun, required talaga kasi dapat approved din yung leave samin  bago makakuha ng COE.

[bebeloo]

^^^ buti sis pinost mo yung amount sa bank cert. worried kasi ako, dahil more on sa ibang investment basket ako e. thanks sa details sis esor. excited na ko sa Seoul trip namin kahit 1 year + pa ang hihintayin ko. hehe

[sparkelle]

naguguluhan pa rin ako about the clothes that i'll pack buti na lang sinabi mo na mejo malamig na so i can bring my scarves and jackets wuhooooo!

when i checked the map, malapit lang yung hotel sa insadong and walking distance to myeongdong and the palaces. Is it really walking distance? minsan kasi nakakaloko yung map eh.

Sis Vhanya, don't forget to bring umbrella din, minsan umuulan sa gabi (like tonight). Around 20-25 degrees siguro this coming days. So light jacket pwede na.

Hmm sa Cheonggyecheon ka ata magstay, walking distance nga yun to Insadong and Gyeongbokgung palace, yung Myeongdong naman mas okay na i-subway mo nalang kasi nasa other end siya nung stream. And sis yung lakaran nun medyo malayo ah, hindi yung malapit lang talaga. Alam mo naman ang mga Koreano mahilig sila maglakad.

[vhanya]

^i see. ok lang sis =) at least walking distance yung insadong and palaces =) im bringing jackes na. if kulang, there's always the ever reliable h&m hehe

[sherylpchan]

efficient, in what way? I'm in Korea but I love Japan more. 

[vhanya]

Im a sucker for free wifi kasi hahaha! There's free wifi almost anywhere. The train system is the same but newer trains in seoul. But food-wise, japan hands down.

[princess lorraine]

Hi! My best friend and i are planning to go to korea april next year. Spring ata dun pag april.  mabilis lang ba mag diy tour dun? Kasi we are hesitant kasi marami daw koreans ang hindi marunong mag english. Hehe.  we are thinking of joining a private tour and it's 1300usd per pax for 7d6n hotel acoomodation, airfare, tours and full-board meals. Ok na ba ito? We want to go to nami island, lotte world, everland, duty free shop, palaces and myeongdong shopping street.  which one is better lotte world or everland? Thanks

[esor]

^ang pricey, sis madali lang mag DIY, kahit naman di sila sanay mag English, helpful naman sila saka madali lang mag ikot ikot sa Seoul.

[princess lorraine]

^naisip ko nga rin mag diy sis eh. Madali lang ba mode of transpo nila like hk and sg? Is there a website where i can get a map and their transportation system? Thanks sis!
