@theflygirl: i see!

@merian: ah, sayang. nagsubmit na ko last friday third ko na rin ito, kaso baka di ako magka-multiple entry kasi yung 1st visa ko nasa old passport ko, di ko na-submit. Yung 2nd lang nakuha nila. 

[vainbutpretty]

wala na kong naabutan kagabe na piso fare sa Korea

does it mean madami talaga gustong pumunta dito?

[merian]

@u8mypinkcookies: You might get at least a 1YM.

@vainbutpretty: Seat sales are usually limited by 4 seats per flight. Marami, but usually nasa hundreds lang din yan per month. I checked kanina and meron paisa isang seats na available.

[vainbutpretty]

^ sis anong date yung nakita mo?

kasi yung mga nakita ko pinakamababa e 2+, mnla-incheon, retutrn naman nis nasa 3+ so di na ko ng book

bale 1:00am pa lang ako ng start me nakuha pa kong piso sa mnla beijing saka madami pa pero sa korea ala na talaga kong nakitang piso fare

[merian]

^Yung 2k and 3k na yun ang piso fare for Korea. Pinakamababa na ang 6k++ ngayon for Korea sa piso fare, except kung magpiso fare sila ulet na walang fuel surcharge, mga 2k nalang ang fare papuntang Korea.

[vainbutpretty]

ganun sis, e yung na booked ko nung piso fare lasyt year nasa 5k+ lang yung one way trip

[u8mypinkcookies]

@merian: sana. nakakahinayang lang. hehe.

[merian]

^^5K one way piso fare? Parang ang mahal. Kasi ako nakapagbook ako last year around 10K RT na hindi piso fare...

Nagtaas ang fuel surcharge, pati bagahe. Check niyo. Minomonitor ko yang prices eh. Kahit hindi ako nagbobook nagchcheck ako para may idea ako kung magkano ang airfare.

^Basta nakapunta ka na once sa Korea, ang usual na next na binibigay nila ngayon is minimum 1YM. Have faith.

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ hehe keeping my fingers crossed thank you!

^^ parang mahal nga yung P5k na one way ah.

[katniss]

hala ang mahal nga ng one-way piso fare na 5k! yung nakuha namin for march, 75% off 10K RT na.

Mga sis, question re: visa

I was thinking of proposing this trip kasi to my dad since nalaman ko na almost the same expenses lang with Singapore and free pa ang visa. So okay lang ba if I apply as a student instead of an employee? Kasi my dad will definitely pay for the entire trip. If magtravel kayo as family then like me employee na, automatic ba na ako ang assume nila magshoulder ng expenses para sa sarili ko? Bago pa lang kasi ako sa work so baka madeny ako if makita nila na ganun. I can apply din naman as a student kasi I'm currently in gradschool as well. I can show naman the school reg form etc din. What do you think mga sis?

Concern ko rin to. Part-time lang kasi work ko and I'll also be entering grad school next sem. What do you guys think?

[katniss]

^^yup pwede na "as a student" yung requirements na isusubmit mo kahit na may trabaho ka na basta sabay sa studies mo. pwede ka magrequest ng cert sa school, tapos docs ng parents mo na magssponsor sa trip mo ang ipapasa mo.

i've got two friends who did this, at approved naman sila.

[dooonna]

^ Thanks sis katniss! Btw, I will be 24 na siguro by the time na mag-apply kami ng visa, so okay lang 'yun? Hindi naman sila magdoubt dahil dapat 'di ba hindi na ako financially dependent? Hehe!

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ pwede mo rin naman lagay na working ka na, then sa application form, lagay mo na your parents will shoulder the expenses... May question kasi na ganun doon e.

Hubby and I are thinking of going to Korea this Holy Week. April 17-21, kaya ba Jeju Island + Seoul or race against the clock na? We want it to be relaxing and can wander around and get lost.

Also, what area of Seoul is a good place to stay in? Preferably hotel tapos near na sa attractions and shopping. It seems that Myeongdong is a popular answer?

Is Lotte World and Everland still good? Been to Korea twice na but that was years ago nun hindi pa sikat to go there hehe

What are the new attractions that we shouldn't miss?
