Re: Korea (thread 6)

Yes, sis.  Good for 2 na yan.  Per room per night ang rate na yan.  Kung Twin Room naman, mas maluwag ng konti pero mas mahal din ng konti.

[huit]

ahhh....would you know if the twin room can accommodate 3 people and may extra charge lang?

[jade23]

I don't think so.  Maliit kasi yung room and di rin sila nag-a-add ng extra bed.

[huit]

ahhh...may room ba sila na pang 3 o 5?

May naka punta ba sa MBC Dramia? From what I've researched medyo malayo siya. So, question ko lang sa mga nakapunta if worth it ba? My mom is a fan of Sageuk dramas kasi (and most of the dramas shot in MBC Dramia). Pero siya lang samin ang fan nun. Hehe. Kaya I'm debating on whether to include it or not.

Not sure if magiging redundant mga Palace visits namin to this. Or different ba since replica siya at drama set?

Hi!  I'm a long time lurker and a first time "commenter".  Hope ok lang to join this discussion and share with you yung naging experience namin sa last Korean trip namin . . .

MBC Dramia was one of the places we visited last February.  For me, worth it siyang puntahan, lalo na if you're a Sageuk fan.  Madali lang siyang puntahan, you just have to follow the instructions detailed at the Visit Korea website.  We left Seoul around 9:00 am and siguro 1 hour lang yung bus ride.  Ang maganda pa sa Dramia, hindi ganun kadami ang tao kaya hindi sya crowded.  Maganda yung landscape ng lugar and nakakatuwa yung replicas ng mga palaces at ng houses nung Joseon era.  Akyat din kayo sa Pavilion so that you will have a panoramic view of the whole place.  Tail end ng winter yung punta namin at ang sarap lang ng lamig dun sa taas.  If you're lucky, baka maka timing din kayo na may filming pagpunta nyo.  Nung nandun kami, merong filming pero hindi namin kilala yung drama . . hehe . . .pero ok lang, nakakatuwa lang manood ng actual filming ng drama. 

The Dramia can only be reached by taxi from the Baegam Terminal.  Pauwi, you can request the ticket office to call a cab for you.  Nakakatuwa kasi yung naghatid sa amin na taxi, siya din yung sumundo. 

If you have a half day to spare, I would recommend this trip.  Aside from the Dramia mismo, maganda din yung countryside view na makikita on the way.

mga sis question, kung OFW ka na nag apply dito sa pinas ng visa tapos na deny ka kasi sabi "documents cannot be verified", pwede kayang mag apply na lang sa country where you work pagbalik mo dun? or kelangan pa rin maghintay ng 6mos bago mag reapply?

[broken_faerie]

hi mga sis, ask ko lang kung madali bang pumunta ng Petite France? We want to go there for our 2nd day, Petite France + Nami Island. Kaso parang ang hirap pumunta or rather catch the bus (Gapyeong City Bus Tour).  We don't want to take the cab kasi medyo pricey. Thanks!

[lululemon]

Visa Approved for me and my cousin

Ask ko lang mga sis, ano pa ibang airlines na may flight to Busan? Cebupac lang kasi nakita ko na meron at medyo mahal.. November na kasi kami punta wala pa kami booking..

[katniss]

^try mo yung Clark to Incheon ng Zest Air. may promo daw kasi dun accdg sa isang sis natin dito. di ko lang alam kung ano pang ibang meron going to Busan.

I've read somewhere that the tour bus is the way to go if you don't want to take the cab. It costs 5000 won. Is it worth going here? I will be in Korea on November 11. If it is any good then I will consider going too tutal I will be dropping by Nami anyway.

[katniss]

^awwww. sorry to hear that sis. but reading your profile nagtaka ako kung bakit, parang mas may chance ka pa nga as compared to me. so true nga na di mo matimpla ang mga consuls dito. apply again next time na lang

[preorder_shop]

^kaya nga sis eh tapos ok naman travel history ko

Mar 2012- HK+macau
April 2012 -HK
June- Bkk+Cambodia
Sep bkk

[lakwatsa]

docs cannot be verified - siguro dahil yun savings mo vs salary e malayo? baka nagtaka ang consul pano ka nakapag come up ng milyones na time dep sa 21k/month na salary?

hula lang ha. maarte daw kasi talaga sila di ba. e wala naman interview para man lang sana maiexplain mo why di ba? malay ba nila kung kakabenta mo lang ng isang property or something kaya ka nagkaron ng ganun kalaking savings.

[preorder_shop]

^ yung nga sis sana ininterview nalang nila ako diba para nalaman nila saan ko nakuha mga yun heheh..

[foruiz]

I read somewhere din sa thread na mas ok pag hindi payroll account.kaya what i did is transfer the money in my regular account. Di ko na rhn pinakita yung other 2 payroll accounts na yun. Baka sis,yun tin mo din.pero pag ganon e pinapabalik naman ata nila.

Mini French Village sya, based naman sa mga pictures mukang okay rin naman yung place kasi cute. Since close sya sa nami island, we plan on dropping by. Nov 12 naman ang dating namin ng sis ko.
