Korea (Thread 10)

[kachich]

^hello, this doesnt answer your question -- my aunt's friend applied for tourist a visa for their help last year or the other year ata -- it wasnt granted. For the help pa naman talaga that tour - being the yaya of their daughter for 10-15 years already

[m_lim]

^awww.. we'll take the risk the nalang talaga since may ticket na kami.

[Kristalle]

^yes, libre naman application.

[m_lim]

^nabasa ko kailangan mag pass ng form 2316 (ITR). pano kaya for yaya?

pag na deny kasi si yaya, iiwan ko nalang si baby. mahirap mamasyal pag kami lang.

[Kristalle]

^opinyon ko lang to, not sure ha, pero pwede naman sya kumuha ng ITR. just visit the nearest BIR branch for more info. Although, may penalty na siguro yan kasi late filing na, April 15 pa deadline.

[minnie99]

^^baka pwede siyang gawan ng letter (or affidavit?) of support? Hehe. My dad made one for my siblings (di ako kasama), pero hindi ko alam kung nakatulong siya sa kuya kong di nakakuha ng ITR but I think it was helpful for my brother who was unemployed (fresh grad).

I want to visit Korea! Keribells kaya alone? Hehe.

[Eggpudding]

sis m_lim, try mo mag back read or search ng older threads ng Korea dito. Kasi parang may nabasa ako na isang sis natin sinama din si yaya and approved naman. Di ko din sure, pero na nabasa ako about dadalin din si yaya. =D

[m_lim]

try ko nga yan hanapin mga sis. crossing fingers na sana mabigyan siya.

plano ko siyang isama sa singapore sa July para magka tatak ang passport then apply ng korean visa before November.

suggestion nga ng SIL ko na pagawan ng ITR at kunyari employee ng business namin. kaso baka masilip na hindi totoo at lalong ma deny.

hay, bahala na.

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ prepare ka na lang ng affidavit of support for the yaya..

@greyzie: please update us with your DMZ tour and kung san kayo nagbook.

Magkano ang exchange rates sa Korea ngayon? Iniisip ko kasi kung san ako magpapapalit or kung magwiwithdraw na lang ba ako ng money. Please advise. Thanks guys!

Sis nung nag-dmz kami last month, sa "Seoul N Tour" kami nagbook. Discounted pa price nila. Ok yung tour guide, di boring. Ma-chika di ako maka-PM sayo for the link.

Kami kasi dun na nagpapalit. Sa airport, nagpapalit lang kami ng konti.. Then the rest sa Myeongdong na.

^sis makikibutt in ako.....sa koridoor mas sulit jsa and dmz tour nila nasa $90 lang both na yan... Jan naka book 1 friend ko begore...pero nung time na namin naubusan kami ng slots cause 2 weeks before lang kami nagpabook or dahil Holy week that time daming tourists....sa iba kasi $90 na jsa tour palang wala pa dmz kasali....

Sa withdrawal mas konti surcharge ni KEB on top of the P150 withdrawal fee...sa woori parang napamahal ako..... Pinaka ok nakita kong exchange rate ng php to krw is sa insadong....just beside italy coffee and 0410 restaurant....sa dulo na sya ng insadong yung malapit na sa samil-daero.....near lang sya sa 711 and i think isa lang syang money changer doon

[adzy]

Hello sis Fornarina!

Sa Insadong din ako nakakapagpapalit dati, check ko lang sana kung may iba pang lugar na mas mataas ang palit. So bale sa Insadong na nga lang ako magpapapalit. Try ko rin magwithdraw sa KEB. Salamat sa info sis. Ireresearch ko rin yan koridoor yan.

Sisses....Mukhang i need to go back din end of june....any recommendation for a guesthouse to stay in jamsil/gangnam area or somewhere near lotte hotel world in jamsil? I am expecting to get home late din i'm having a hard time researching for night bus routes baka masarahan ako ng subway. Thanks

[pretty_B]

^thanks sis!

We'll be there baka end of June. Sana okay ang weather yung hindi mala-Pinas sa init. haha.

[travelling_daisy]

^^ Wow, sis fornarina, going back in Seoul this June. Enjoy your trip sis!
Di ko pa rin tapos yung itinerary ko for winter trip....

[fornarina]

^^sis @pretty_B Oo nga better naman siguro than here diba? Pero will bring my payong hehe saka will buy that ahjumma/darth vader visor when i  get there hehe

Sis @travelling_daisy yup biglaan hehe.... Emailed you din.... Will plan naman our i.t for dec when we get our tix na....we want to spend New year's there....by the way yung snowbuster in everland, artificial snow ba yun? 

[travelling_daisy]

^Sis, replied to your email na. Sorry, got tied up with work lang...

Yung Snow Buster parang nabasa ko na may halong artificial snow yun. We're considering going to Seoulland instead, para ibang lugar naman, for snow sledding. I have yet to read up about the place and how to go. Balak ko din iinclude yung Gangchon Rail Park. Have you heard of it? Problema yung website Korean only, di ako makapagpareserve tickets online.

[Halee]

Mas mainit na by June. Mas mainit dito kung summer kesa sa Pinas, very humid, very dry (yong tipong mahirap huminga). Satin kase ang init maalinsangan at pagpapawisan ka talaga.

I live in Jamsil pero wala akong alm na guesthouse around here hotels/motels meron. 12mn naman nagsasara ang subway. yon nga lang hassle mapagsarhan ng subway kase agawan sa taxi. thrice ko na naranasang mapagsarhan. kapag ganyan pa naman namimili rin ang taxi driver, kainis.
