We just got home from the embassy. The process was fast. Binigay lang namin yung requirements then ayun, binigyan na kami nung stub for release. Sana maapprove yung application namin. Wish us luck guys.

[longing]

Hello mga sis!  We'll be going to Seoul on Sept 19.  Requesting for help with this itinerary:

Hi sis, very doable ang itinerary mo.

share ko ang IT namin last March, baka may gusto kang i-alternate sa isang palace.

Day 1 - Arrival at SoKor

Day 2 - Trick Eye; Hello Kitty Cafe; Hongdae shopping; Namsan tower; Myeongdong shopping

Day 3 - Nami Island; Myeongdong shopping

Day 4 - Everland; Gangnam

Day 5 - last minute shopping at Lotte; depart Incheon

Enjoy South Korea!

[a.k.a. HELGA]

^^sis esor, OA sa aga no? Haha We will be staying lang kasi sa Jeju for 2whole days kaya need to maximize the time, hopefully we can squeeze in number of spots para sulit.

Medyo mahal din pala magpabook ng taxi, what about if we flag one on our own? Will that be easy? May taxi stand ba within GH vicinity? Or almost same lang din magiging rate?

[esor]

^sis a.k.a. HELGA, sa Jungmun Resort pa lang madami na kayong mapupuntahan
mas mura nga yung super aga nilang flight, dapat yun din ibobook ko before, kaya lang ayoko ngang mag taxi or stay sa airport.

I'm not sure sa taxi rate to Gimpo Airport, parang mas okay magpa arrange na lang sa GH.

[sdee]

^yes sis sdee, baka nga multiple visa pa ibigay syo 

wow sis esor sana! excited pa naman na ako bumalik dun

[super_she]

Thanks sis longing!  I'll check if we can still squeeze in some of the places from your itinerary. :-)

Another question,  what is more advisable, exchanging PHP to KRW here in the Philippines (our secreatry know a money exchange place that has competitive rates) or exchanging PHP to USD here in the Philippines and then exchanging the USD to KRW in Korea? 

Thanks again in advance!

[super_she]

^^I think the place is the head office of Czarina Forex.  It's in our building kasi.  I have yet to check the rates. Baka better if I exchange na lang to USD na rin.

Still waiting for advice mga sis!

[SnowBall]

Hello mga sis, need your insights.

Kasi naka pay na ako ng 40,000 sa CebuPac for a promo fare for our family, bale 5 persons. This is for Nov. 12-15, 2014.

Problem ko, yung kapatid ko nag back out na kasi natanggap siya sa new work, then my husband naman, hindi makakaalis that time, kasi naka sched operahan sa tuhod ang father niya.

So, I am contemplating kung tutuloy pa ba kaming mag iina, if ever ako lang, then kasama ko ang 9 and 3 years old kids ko. (girl and boy)..


If you're me, what would you do? Tutuloy ninyo ba?

nanghihinayang naman kasi ako sa 40K, mapupunta lang sa cebupac na hindi namin nagamit..


please need your insights...

TIA

[a.k.a. HELGA]

^^ Ok sis. I'm trying to call both Czarina's and Sanry's money changer. Kaya lang I cant seem to reach them. Baka mali or not updated na yun mga nos. na nakapost sa net. For me kasi, Im leaning on changing WON directly na from PHP.

[esor]

^sis SnowBall, iparebook mo na lang, pwede naman yun kahit promo. Yung ka officemate ko, naparebook nya yung kanya may additional charge nga lang.

^sis a.k.a. HELGA, mas okay na magpapalit na din talaga dito ng KRW.
Mataas masyadong selling rate ng Czarina, try nyo sis sa BDO, dapat daw at least 5 days, and yun nga dapat may bdo account ka & sa home branch dapat.

Sa Naila's Money Exchange kasi ko nagpapalit last time.
