Korea (Thread 9)

[charm0220]

pag ba around this time 2nd-3rd week of November orange pa din leaves sa korea? we are planning to go next year ng ganitong time. Thanks

baka sa 2015 na lang ako mag spring kasama si bf haha para tipid at hindi 2 times babalik ng spring sa korea

Saka sa ktx ba pwedeng magdala ng bagahe? I mean may area sila for maleta? Balak kasi namin mag Manila-Busan-Seoul-Manila at mag-KTX from Busan to Seoul Thanks

hello, kakagaling ko lang Seoul last Nov. 7-10. Yes orange pa yung leaves, some are yellow, some are red. ang nice sa picture

Good idea.. last year kami pumunta din ng spring.. maganda rin kapag spring hindi masyadong malamig tapos cherry blossoms pa

pero mas gusto ko yung Autumn  

I highly suggest ang Jeju Island. ang damming pwede gawin and puntahan.

^haha we are booked na for Nov.7-14 next year busan 2 days then seoul sa jeju try ko sa april 2015 pag kasama bf para may maiba naman; kasi this year seoul, next year seoul, busan, 2015 sana kayang seoul, jeju

[theflygirl]

Yes. Right now, the leaves are still in full autumn colors. The cold is biting at night already. Last Mon/Tue, temperatures went as low as - 1 in Sogong-do area in Seoul, esp after the rains last Sat (the 9th). I wore my bubble jackets with layer inside ng turtleneck long sleeves but kaya ko pa No gloves. Although walking around myeongdong at night, manhid na din hands ko.

Who among you sissies are going to Korea this December? I'm really itching to get a hold on my favorite make up but can only find it in Korea. Please let me know who I can easily coordinate with. Advanced Merry Christmas!

hi amihan07.. if complete naman docs mo and talagang may proof ka na you'll be coming back to ph, malaking chance naman na you'll get approved. like sa previous post ko.. I just resigned lang din so i didn't submit COE and nilagay ko pa na ako magfifinance ng trip ko. nag submit lang ako other docs.
Approved naman.

^^don’t worry sis amihan. Sabi ko nga,I think di naman sila mahigpit sa tourist. Sadyang masungit lang talaga yung lalaki. Hehe... Dii pa nman nagssnow. Baka nga matagalan pa kasi di namn nsu-sustain yung negative temp. Tumataas pa namn til 8 degrees.

Haaayyy mga sisses. Sana magdilang-anghel kayo. Sa Thursday na magkakaalaman. Huhuhu..   By the way, meron na bang nakapag-Jeju Island dito? Pupunta rin kasi kami sa Jeju. Nalilito ako paano ko aayusin transpo namin. Parang lumalabas mahirap mag-commute ata sa Jeju. Huhu.. Mahal ng taxi rental. Balita ko rin mahirap makakuha rin ng taxi.

[charm0220]

nakapag jeju kami last year. may narent kami na Taxi tour. siya na sumusundo and naghahatid samen kung saan saan for 3 days. Mr. Ko yung name niya. he speaks English naman. siya na din nagsusuggest sometimes kung saan okay pumunta.

[ava_camille]

Re visa requirements, ano-ano ba kailangan to present for Tour lang? Hindi ko makita sa website nila yung for tourist. Magkano show money kailangan?

[amihan07]

^^ Sis Charm0220, may contact ka ba nya? Email or anumang ways to contact him? Pero magkano ba charge sa inyo? Balita ko kasi mahal 'e' lalo na kapag marunong mag-English. Mga 150K KRW kapag marunong mag-English plus pangkain nya.

^Sis, andun lang yun. Punta ka Consular Section/Visa Requirements sa site. Depende anong klaseng visa ang ina-applyan mo yung requirements mo.

[charm0220]

hello amihan07.. di ko na makita [textspeak!] contact eh pero may nakita ako sa tripadvisory… i think same person eto nung driver namen sa jeju… sorry di ko na din maalala how much.  Mr. Ko Seung Ku 010-4691-7401, email [textspeak!]@naver.com.

[shopaholic_in_rehab]

nag first snow fall na daw sa seoul last nov 18. ang aga! iba na talaga panahon ngayon. im planning to go back again next year last week ng nov. sana magsnow na din by that time para maexperience naman. 

[pretty_in_white]

Ava_camille, usually hotel voucher or reservation; show money naman does not have to be big, less than a million should be alright; if may china or Japan visa madali nalang din yan; certificate of employment or proof that you are self-employed

[Cheesecak3]

I miss Korea na talaga, lalo na ang snow.

[amihan07]

Nakuha ko na visa ko kanina! Lahat kami na-grant ng visa! Weeee! Tuluy na tuloy na itech! Next Tuesday na alis namin.

Sis Charm0220, textspeak yung lumabas sa email na binigay mo sa itaas.

Sis Pretty_in_White, ang China visa di considered. May China visa ako, di sya part ng OECD countries ba yun para maging mas madali ang pagprocess. Hindi naman kailangan less than a million. Kahit 100K lang ok na. Balita ko sa mga travel agencies, at least 60k ata. Dati kasi 50k lang.

[charm0220]

sis amihan07.. pm sent. Enjoy seoul and jeju!

[molybdenumstudios]

Went to Korea last 11/09 - 11/15, Seoul-Jeju, 5 girls. We had a great time there, sad lang kasi nataon siya nung bagyong Yolanda. Everytime na may magtatanong sa amin kung taga-saan kami at malaman nila na Phils, makikita mo yung sympathy nila.

Anyway, time to share since marami rin ako nakuha tips dito.

Day 1 (Seoul)- 12:00am flight to Seoul via AirAsia Zest, on time with free snacks
Yellowbrick - dorm-type accomodation, Jongno-gu Area
Gyeongbokgung Palace - was able to watch the changing of the guards
N Seoul Tower - rode cable car, di na kami pumasok sa observatory. Picture taking lang ng konti sa Love Locks, umulan kasi
Nanta Musical/Myeongdong - enjoyed the show

Day 2(Seoul)
Nami Island - via Subway/Train/Taxi
Dinner at Blacksmith

Day 3 (Seoul)
Everland - via Subway/Bus - was able to watch the Christmas parade
Night flight to Jeju via Eastar Jet
Forest Hostel - in front of Dongmun Market, along Black Pork Street. They helped us with the taxi rental for 2 days, KRW130k per day, 8 hrs. Buti na lang kasya kaming 5 sa taxi, mas tipid. Hindi English taxi driver kasi mas mahal pero okay naman yung driver namin.

Day 4 -(Jeju)
Ecoland
Seopjikoji
Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak
Manjanggul Cave
Kimnyoung Maze Park

Day 5 - (Jeju)
Loveland
Mysterious Road
1100 Altitude Wetland
Oedolgae Rocks
Jusangjeolli Cliff
Seonim Bridge/Cheonjeyeon Falls
Jeongbang Waterfalls (dito kami bumili ng chocolates)

Day 6 - Morning flight back to Seoul
Dustin Guesthouse - Hongdae Area
Bokchon Area
Unhyeongung Royal Residence - dito nag-enjoy kami maglibot sa palace ng naka-hanbok.
Tosokchon - Lunch
Myeongdong
Cheonggyecheon Stream - with Lantern Festival

Day 7 - Morning flight back to Manila via AirAsia Zest, with free meal

Pinakamalamig na naranasan namin is -1 temp sa Seoul. I want to go back, Spring time naman sana. Nakakamiss lalo na Jeju.

For this trip, inabot yung expenses ko ng almost Php30k (RT Airfare, NAIA Fees, Food, Accomodation,
Entrance Tickets, Transpo).

Btw, still have KRW 60,000 na natira, baka may interested. Just send me a PM.
