[glamorous_aisha]

hi mga sis! i'm planning a trip to SK this august sana. Napunta na ba kayo sa Jeju island ng august? may recommended hotel ba kayo na malapit sa beach?

3 days sa jeju and 2 days sana sa seoul yung plan ko. in seoul where's the best place to find a hotel na accessible sa lahat?

Thank you po.

[princess lorraine]

^for me sis the best area is myeongdong. You can shop till you drop and there are very good restos in the area. Very accessible din sa lahat. 

[oshiawase]

magkano dapat travel budget for one person to stay in South Korea for 3 days for tour?

[glamorous_aisha]

^^ thanks sis! i'll look for a hotel in that area.

i just need to look for a beach side hotel in jeju or kahit hostel/guesthouse okay lang naman.

[Crissy]

Hi! mga sis. Just got back last week fr SK and i want to thank everyone who shared their suggestions and tips.  It was really I great help and made our trip sucessful :-D

[resme]

has anyone tried booking their accomodations at airbnb or travelmob? parang okay din since parang apartment style na yung house and good interiors too..

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ booked our rental apartment in Seoul via bnbhero. Parang airbnb nila.

[aranses]

^kami din nagbook din kami sa bnbhero last year during yeosu expo, sa kanila kasi may pinakamura stay during the expo.

[glamorous_aisha]

ganun ba talaga kamura [textspeak!] bnbhero sisses? walang additional fees?

[aranses]

^naaalala ko may cleaning fee saka bnbhero service fee di ko lang maaalala kung ilan percent un.

[bagaholic_chewy]

^^ same sila ng airbnb, me one-time cleaning fee tapos me konting transaction fee. Pero makikita mo naman breakdown ng total before confirming your booking.

Home na pala from Korea. Generally ok yung trip, except lang na me two days na maulan. So-so lang sa akin ang Bukchon Hanok Village. Loved Korean food, especially the Hanwoo beef for barbecue - super tender pero medyo me kamahalan compared to the usual beef. Aliw din ako sa side dishes, especially sa kimchi and pickles.

Loved Nami Island - sarap mag-chillax. Bleh for me ang Petit France - cute naman pero that's it. We got the Nami + Petit France tour so ok na din, but if yun lang pupuntahan, i don't think it's worth it. I loved the combination DMZ + Panmunjom tour - very educational and aliw to be able to actually be at the border, and be on NK's side for a few minutes kahit inside a conference room lang.

Sayang nung nagpunta kami N Seoul Tower kasi foggy so di namin mapicturan ng buo ang tower. I enjoyed the Teddy Bear Museum - as expected na-bore si husband kasi taga-picture lang sya, hehe.. Ok sa Gwanghwamun Square pag Sunday kasi me mala-flea market - madaming food and drinks stalls tapos me mga performances din. I also liked Bonguensa Temple, halos tapat lang ng COEX. Aliw maglakad-lakad sa Insadong - dun na din kami bumili ng konting souvenirs (display plate, ref magnet, etc). Tried Lotteria once, masarap nga yung Hanwoo burger. Tried TwoTwo Chicken, ok lang - mas gusto ko pa din BonChon, hehe.. We watched a movie din sa CGV in Myeongdong, maganda at malinis sinehan nila. For food pasalubong, we got some MarketO chocolates from the supermarket.

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ wow sa sunod try nga yang DMZ na yan di pa kami naka-Insadong and Petit France rin! Grabe twice na ko nag-Seoul, dami ko pa di napuntahan! Dapat bumalik

Ano ba ok gawin sa Busan? Parang we wanna go next time pag nag- SK kami.

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ sis, get the combination tour if possible. Para pupunta ng 3rd tunnel + pupunta din ng JSA (yun yung actual border). Ok sya, tsaka ok din kasi yung guide namin, magaling mag-explain tsaka matino ang English nya.

Next naman na gusto ko puntahan sa Korea is sidetrip to Jeju Island for a few days. Tsaka di rin kami nag-themeparks - next time na lang pag me mga kasama kami para mas masaya. Gusto ko sulitin yung 3-yr visa ko, hehe..

[bigdadis_girl]

^go! go! sis sulitin ang 3 years visa, magastos din maglakad ng requirements noh kaya so lucky you! na issuehan kayo ng 3years.  visit Busan and Jeju na... hay sana kame matuloy next year

may naka try na ba mag korea air dito? how was it?

[princess lorraine]

^my uncle and aunt took korean air last march. They enjoyed it! Good service and good food. 

[u8mypinkcookies]

Sis bagaholic, swerte talaga ikaw! Haha. Pag theme park, everland nalang! Di kami nag-enjoy sa Lotte World e.

[Crissy]

^Me too I didnt enjoy the lotte world. Mas maganda daw ang Everland kaya lang hindi ako nakapunta, medto malayo kasi and we don't have enough time. I enjoyed pa sa Trick Museum.

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ super boring, yah enjoy ako sa everland saka trick eye!

[bigdadis_girl]

^my uncle and aunt took korean air last march. They enjoyed it! Good service and good food.
