Korea (Thread 8)

[bagaholic_chewy]

Got our passports back today. Ansaya, hubby and I got multiple-entry visa, valid for three years. I submitted our applications last Thursday.

Will now do some backreading on this thread. Our trip is in three weeks and wala pa ako nabo-book na anything..

Sa mga nakapag-DMZ tour, san kayo nagbook ng tour?

[u8mypinkcookies]

Wow! Pano kaya nakakakuha ng multiple entry? hehe.

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ i have no idea din, sis.. Nagulat nga ako when the girl at window3 showed the approved visas ("multiple entry po ma'am, valid until 2016") bago nya ibigay ang passports namin. Kaaliw.

[travelling_daisy]

^hi sis! Nuna kami kasi, dapat bibili din kami ng separate ticket for the itx train pero when we asked the staff at the train station, he said puwede daw yung t money. Then yun ginamit namin. I'm not sure sis if ilang persons ang allowed per taxi. 2 lang kasi kami ng friend ko eh. 

Ok sis. Will ask na lang when we get there. Pero lahat halos ng nabasa ko, they say it's a different ticket daw pag sa ITX, not Tmoney.

Thanks ha.

Mga sis,

Me mare-recommend kayong apartment rental na ok ang location? Yung tipong at most 10-20mins from Nandaemun/Myeongdong area. Me mga ininquire na din ako sa airbnb, naghihintay pa ako ng mga replies. Yung isa, hindi available for our entire stay. Mas preferred kasi namin yung mala-apartment na me own mini-kitchen. Baka me iba pa kayo ma-suggest..

[bigdadis_girl]

^sis ang galing naman na-issue-han kayo ng multiple entry! pwede ng magpabalik balik within 3 years libutin mo na SK, Seoul, Jeju and Busan.
kung may kitchen ang hanap na mala apartment, highly recommend ko ang hngdae guesthouse and ann guesthouse (same building in Hongdae) subway ka na lang to myeongdong/namdaemun.

^i was in seoul for 6 days last week sis.  malamig parin eh lalo na pag early morning and night time. Sarap ng weather! There was one day na carry na cardigan and scarf mga 18 to 22 degress but the rest of our stay there malamig talaga! Between 9 to 15 degrees! I miss the weather there. 

[kookai88]

Hi sis princess lorraine! Thanks for the info. Sana mag enjoy kami doon.

[princess lorraine]

^check mo sa accuweather sis. Sana ganun parin weather para maenjoy niyo. Bring thick jackets nalang din para sure. Sa gabi kasi nung nandun kami ang lamig talaga. Medyo sumasakit nga ulo and ears ko minsan pag super lamig! Pero carry naman super enjoy parin.

Mga sis, until what time open ang market sa may EWHA University? Tsaka yung university mismo, until what time pwede pumasok? Gusto ko sana isingit to, pero mukhang ang magiging free time namin is 5pm onwards na lang..

[FN_Pat]

^I didn't see any market when we visited Ewha, but I'm sure the shops will still be open at 5PM onwards. We were there in the early afternoon, so I can't really tell you what time they close, but if the stores in Ewha are anything like the stores in Hongdae, then they're still open well into the night. As for the university, I'm not too sure. Drop by there first thing na lang before shopping.

[sdee]

[u8mypinkcookies]

just got back from the trip! buti we didn't back out coz of the news about the war chuva normal lang naman situation. parang deadma lang sila as if walang ganun news. still safe so nothing to worry about.

sarap nga sa myeongdong gyoja! super sulit okay rin twotwo chicken but parang masarap for pulutan, haha. tried it with soju, wala lang trip lang. try nyo din yung parang german ball pastry na may chocolate tapos i-break nyo with a hammer pagkabili. sarap papakin!

relaxing in nami island. medyo pagod sa travel pero sulit pagdating mo na dun! di namin na-enjoy lotte world, siguro dahil pambata for us. mas gusto ko everland na pinuntahan namin last year. OK magshopping sa ewha, ang mura saka mas hip yung designs sa clothes and accessories! yung make-up, sa myeongdong naman mura ng longchamp, nakabili ako ng 2 sa lotte duty free.

quick kwento lang! rest muna ako coz pagod from the flight and kakalakad during our stay! i wish makabalik kami for the 3rd time. ipon muna!!
