Korea (Thread 8)

[ilbsiri]

^yay! namang experience mo sis, kalurkei yung may-ari hah? anyways kung ayaw maki-pagayos ng may-ari ng agency you can file a formal complaint right? hindi biro yung 26k. Anyways, sana maayos nyo para matuloy flight nyo to Korea

^ Medyo malamig na kapag november e. Autumn season na nila yun if I'm not mistaken. Madali lang naman kumuha ng visa as long as complete yung requirements na isusubmit mo. For budget naman, me and my mom are travelling this May, kasya na siguro yung 40-50k sa dalawang tao. Mas makakatipid din kayo kung mag-stay nalang kayo sa mga guesthouse/hostel. Mas maganda kung makakakuha kayo ng promo fare, around 3k lang magagastos nyo per person. Abang abang lang sa mga promos syempre. Hehe. 

Thank you sis for the reply. I believe kailangan parin dumaan sa agency right?

sis this_is_me nakakalungkot naman yang nangyaring hassle sa inyo.  kaya lesson dito NEVER BUY DEALS lalo na ng TRAVEL DEALS sa mga group buying site, madame hassle na kapalit na kung titignan natin hindi naman talaga tayo naka mura.  sobrang hassle lang talaga... madame na story about this na umabot pa sa legal filing ng case.  stress to the maximum level.
medyo matrabahong gumawa ng itinerary pero it's all worth it after that sobrang saya naman

My visa is approved! Yung isang friend namin hiningan ng isang electric bill. Bakit kaya? May chance pa bang ma-reject application nya?  Pagka-submit ba nya nun babalik pa sya ulit or makukuha na din the same day?

[rhumbafrapp]

^congrats!
babalikan pa sis. re ma approve that we don't know pa

pero yun mga hinigi na extra docs sakin hindi vinerify naman. hmp! haha

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ thanks sis yung additional docs mo, ilang days bago ka pinabalik? Sana ok na sa friend ko.

[rhumbafrapp]

5 working days din sis. kaasar diba sayang time di ka agad maka book etc ng mga ano ano dapat

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ yikes tagal din pala. Hassle naman! :-/ sana lang ok na sa friend ko, told her nga magdala na rin ng iba pang bills as proof kung sakali...

[this_is_me]

naku sis, sinabi niyo pa. follow up kwento para alam niyo, ang rerouting namin is japan, tokyo - which is very overprice. chaka hong kong, taiwan, singapore na kung tutuusin mura lang. hay.. lugi na... ewan ko ba kung bakit hindi pwede na change date nalang... hassle talaga.

meron na sa Yeouido park, punta ka lang malapit sa nnational assempbly nila, dami na cheryy blossom.

^so wala pa sa Yeouido? weird kasi kita ko sa Instagram meron ng nag-bloom. anyway, try nyo sa likod ng National Assembly Building. dyan daw yung maraming cherry blossoms, ka-area rin lang ng Yeouido yan. tapos sa Jeongdok Library sa may malapit sa Bukchon Hanok Village magandang spot din daw. Baba lang kayo Anguk Station. You can also try sa KyungHee University kasi marami din daw dun. goodluck! sana maabutan pa namin. ^^

[rhumbafrapp]

Nag-submit friend ko kanina nung electric bill as additional supporting docs, sabi ng consul eh balikan nya tomorrow. Ano kaya chances na approved na yun? Grabe pati ako na-stress!

[Crissy]

My sis who works at travel agency told me kanina that they were given an advisory not to encourage people to visit Korea at this time.  I'm worried baka next advisory would travel ban na.  We are schedule to go NK this coming May 11 and keeping my fingers cross na sa mag kaayos na ang SK & NK.

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ NK ka sis? Yikes. Sa SK mukha namang ok pa. Parang wala ako naririnig masyadong news now. Still praying for peace na between the two countries.

[rhumbafrapp]
