Korea (Thread 7)

[adikako]

When I went there 2011, Sakura season din and may news about North Korea declaring war. Pero tumuloy parin ako, what I have in mind, kung di safe for sure may travel Ban naman. but since wala kaya GORA ako.

Kaloka sila, ano taon taon ganyan lagi?  What can we expect sabi nga sa news, yung leader  ng North Korea eh may pagka Psycho.

sa dropbox sa global refund counter sa airport ko linagay envelope ko.wala na kasi  tatanggap na staff kasi ang aga ng cebupac flights.dumating na check ko pero d ko pa naencash.

[greize]

sis bigdadis_girl, just like what sis foruis has stated, sa may global refund counter namin drinop yung envelop with validated receipts. usually, kapag nakaminimum ka ng 30000KRW, ask mo lang yung cashier counter ng store if nagproprovide sila ng form for tax refund. sa minimum purchase of 30000KRW, parang 1500KRW ang pwede marefund. pero nung bumili si hubby sa victorinox sa may namdaemun, di daw sila nagproprovide ng ganun kaya sayang, halos dun pa naman siya nagkainterest bumili nun.

don't worry mga sis, i know magiging safe naman mga travels nyo. ang alam ko nung nagdeclare si nokor ng war against sokor nito lang, paalis palang kami dito noon. pero wala namang tension kami naramdaman during our stay.

[bigdadis_girl]

thank you sisses! now I know how, anyway hindi naman kame masyado naka shop ng bongga.  now alam ko na how to refund.  don't worry sa threat, if hindi naman ok mag travel, maglalabas ng travel ban ang embassy

[u8mypinkcookies]

^^ naisip ko rin nga na if hindi safe, may travel ban na sana now. Still praying na ok na visa ko by next week tapos maayos na ang gulo between NK and SK para happy ang trip, walang kaba 

Wow may refund pala?! Salamat sa info, try ko nga yan 

[SOFIEMAE]

sis greize musta ang weather ng SK? My officemate will be travelling next week... Mas worried siya sa weather kesa sa state of war ng NK hehe... seriously pinapa ask niya lang kung malamig pa rin ba kasi gora pa rin sila... Thanks

[this_is_me]

meron ba balita re the war? how is south korea now? will be going there on april 14.

naku naman. baka maipit pako dun.

kasi bakit hindi nalang magdedmahan itong north and south. make love not war. hehe =)

[greize]

^^ Actually, sabi nila, light jacket nalang ang dalhin namin kasi pa-spring na. Pero 2 light jackets pa din ang suot ko lalo na pag nasa labas kami tuwing gabi. Di ko kinaya ang lamig! Inaasar ko nga si hubby kasi naghanap pa talaga sya ng gloves eh wala ng nagbebenta dun. Unang binili ko was lip balm. Hihi!
Sa loob ng mall, wala akong jacket. Naiinitan pa ako. Lol! Siguro ngayon carry na talaga yung light jacket sis. Nung mga last day namin, maaraw naman na eh.

[bigdadis_girl]

kami naman sis April 17. 0_0 natatakot na mga kamag-anak ko for me. haha. pero gogora pa rin ako. kalma pa naman kasi raw doon.

[lilac]

Kami naman hindi tutuloy unless biglang bawiin na yung state of war. 2 kasi kami ng mom ko e very cautious sya. 

[chuzzle]

I am flying to Seoul with my mom on Saturday, and I don't think we'll cancel. I was in Seoul in 2010 when there was a so called threat pero everything was normal. South Koreans are used to these threats, and I don't think the government will allow tourists if it is truly not safe. Sometimes, western media exaggerates these things. It is even in Korean news that South Koreans are just laughing at these threats. But I understand that some people want to stay away for safety reasons.

[u8mypinkcookies]

eto naman post ng admin sa FB page ng Korean Embassy in the Phils.

"Most of experts in Korea say that a full-fledged war is not likey, although tensions are quite high. Korean government is all prepared for any kind of provocation."

"The situation is not affecting the daily life of Koreans. They are doing as usual."


Hope this helps! kami basta ma-grant na visa, go talaga!

[bigdadis_girl]

wow sis u8mypinkcookies babalik ka na ulet ng SK? awww, if ever kasi 2014 pa plan namin, autumn season naman.  saka correct ka dyan sis.  normal ang buhay ng mga nasa south, and yes sabi nga nila outside sk media lang nagpapalaki ng news na ito.  hay naku nagse-sale pa nga sila doon hehe

[katniss]

ako rin tutuloy basta magrant ang visa! ^^ updated tuloy ako sa news bout SoKor and NoKor ngayon. naalala ko happenings sa The King 2 Hearts eh.

[~ ka [3] na ~]

We will be leaving this Friday. Slightly worried because of the tension between the 2 Koreas but I strongly believe that a nuclear war is unlikely to happen. Tingin ko naman hindi hahayaan ng neighboring countries na magkaroon ng all out war dahil buong mundo apektado if nagkataon. I believe na walang bansa ang may gusto ng patayan except N. Korea I guess.

[rhumbafrapp]
