^ sis, ma-lakad/hike ba sa Jeju? And how about road conditions, bumpy ba o maayos ang roads?

[deth]

^sis, okay na okay road conditions sa Jeju, di bumpy. Yup super lakad/hike, wear comfortable shoes. Nung 2nd day namin sa Jeju, nararamdamam ko na yung sakit ng paa ko. Buti na nga lang at nag-rent kami taxi so medyo comfortable naman kesa kung nagko-commute pa.

Hi sisses, meron na ba nakapagbook ng apartment via wimdu? Yun sana plan namin kasi mas mura sya unlike hotels na mahal. If may alam din pala kayo na hotel sa Seoul na mura can you please recommend. Will be with friends kaya mas tipid kami if fully furnished na apartment rent namin for 5 days. And saan yung best location na dapat pag-stay-an, malapit sa train station and food area? Thank you! 

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ sis, try checking out bnbhero, jan ako naka-book ng furnished apartment for our trip last May. Sa unit owner na rin kami nagrent ng wifi egg.

[lheing]

^ thanks sis, iche-check ko yan. mas feel ko kasi na parang bahay and mas tipid talaga. Kasi nakita ko cost ng mga hotels, ang mamahal. And gusto ko rin i-try hanbok para feel na feel. 

[katniss]

sis @lheing: i always reco Ann's Guesthouse. fully furnished, connected to the subway station and near restos.

sis @bagaholic_chewy, magkano rental mo sa egg wifi? thanks! ^^

btw, i tried before yung parang binibili lang sa convenience store for 2 days ata tapos coconnect ka lang sa isang network anywhere but it didn't work for me. i guess di ko naintindihan instructions. lol!

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ $5/day yung rent namin sa egg, can connect up to 5 gadgets with fast connection, sakto sa smartphones and ipads namin. Gamit na gamit, and super sulit, except lang sa certain stretch going to Nami na walang signal and yung isang stretch going to JSA border na medyo mahina ang signal. Mabilis lang ma-drain battery esp if madami naka-connect but we brought a powerbank naman so napapa-last namin ng whole day.

Hi guys!

We are planning our honeymoon in Jeju Island, please post away sa mga sisses natin nakapunta na travel info/tips etc. May direct flight ba from Manila? No visa needed nga ba talaga? Mga how much budget?

Help mga sis! 

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ sis, check out the Korea thread, me mga nagpost na dun about Jeju..

[Adam1025]

^hi sis, nag-back read nga ako pero medyo konti pa ang infos. As in Jeju island lang kasi kami, di kami punta seoul or anywhere in south korea 

[pretty_in_white]

^ Girl, you might find this helpful for your trip.  I'm so forgetful of places I've been to, I wish I could help but I'm so makakalimutin.

Yep, super sulit magrent ng egg wifi. I rented one at Olleh sa arrival but it was USD8/day. Super helpful esp in map reading.

Alam ko no direct flight from Manila. What I saw before is punta ka ng SG then from there ata flight. Pero sa pagkakaalala ko mahal.

[Adam1025]

Thank you mga sis, mahal nga ang ticket since no direct flight pala. Cathay pacific option namin

mga sis, possible b na magapply ng visa on the same year? one for april and november?? first timer kami kung sakali. thank you

[Frozen Toes]

^ I think okay lang naman na twice ka mag apply ng visa in one year if single entry lang bibigay sayo the first time. If multiple, isang apply na lang.

***

Planning a couple of solo trips to Korea next year. Maybe, one in autumn and one in spring. Para masulit multiple before mag expire.

[Frozen Toes]

^ Ang alam ko, for as long as good for 30 days yung visa from date of entry, gratis sya.

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ yung sa amin, multiple entry, 59says per trip, free pa din naman..

Question pala, me naka-try na dito magpalipat ng valid multiple entry visa from old to new passport? Until 2016 pa kasi visa namin pero kakarenew lang ni husband ng passport nya. E nabasa ko before na di sya tulad ng US visa na ok lang ipresent old passport with the valid visa. Kelangan daw yata ilipat to the new passport.. to anyone who tried, pa-share naman ng process. TIA.

[janesjane]

[katniss]

^^for sure meron pa yan sis. same dates kami nagpunta this year.
