Korea (Thread 10)

[manlavs]

nakuha ko na korean visa ko! yeyy!! sa agency lang po ako nagpagawa hehe.. sep25 ang alis namin 

[longing]

hi sisses, we booked a flight to korea on oct 18, aabot pa ba if next week kami magsubmit ng request for visa? any tips para maapprove kami? May US visa na ko pero last trip ko to US 2009 pa.. but valid pa naman US visa ko.. hubby naman walang visa to US.. second honeymoon kasi namin to huhu kaya sobrang hopeful ako na maapprove kami. tia!

Super abot pa sis, good that you have a US VISA, idadamay mo na ang application  ni hubby. If everything is in order, 3 days you have your approved VISA na.

[longing]

@aquatica, sis, here's my suggestion lang:

Day 1: Myeongdong Cathedral
Namsangol Hanok Village
N Seoul Tower
Myeongdong Shopping
Cheonggyecheon Stream (this can be done even late at night, sana malapit your hotel sa stream)

Day 4.
Trick Eye (you'll spend more or less 2 hours lang sa place)
You can do the palaces after lunch

yay thanks sis!:) pero pano yun okay lang na isabay sha sa 3 days na processing lang? may interview pa ba?hehe

[longing]

^yes, sis. Sabay mo lang ng submission ang kay hubby. I forgot which window ang may OECD VISA. No interview na, they will check lang the completeness of your documents then you will be given a claim stub, 3 days after, balikan mo na.

[aquatica]

^sis longing...thanks my itinerary is now edited. thanks much. sa visa application form ba need ko ilagay sa given name [textspeak!] middle name din?

[longing]

^you're welcome.  I think, I did. Nasa house kasi my passport so I forgot if naka indicate sa VISA, my given and middle (maiden) name.

[itsnikimendoza]

^yes, sis. Sabay mo lang ng submission ang kay hubby. I forgot which window ang may OECD VISA. No interview na, they will check lang the completeness of your documents then you will be given a claim stub, 3 days after, balikan mo na.

Hello. Ask ko lang, Kailangan ba naka-winter gear na pag November? Super lamig na ba? Or carry lang light jacket? I'll be there this Nov 20.TIA sa mga sasagot

[super_she]

Who's in Seoul right now?  Kamusta ang weather?  I'm wardrobe planning na kasi.  We'll be in Seoul na on Thursday!  I'm so excited! 

[abbeydasassy]

^ My Aunt is there now and she said quite hot daw for her (26 C) summer feel pa rin daw. I just asked her this afternoon hehe her akala ko medyo lamig na coz lapit na din autumn doon which is our target date for travel

[super_she]

^Thanks abydasassy!  So light clothing and some light jacket/sweaters, then! :-)

[itsnikimendoza]

hi sisses going to korea mid October, malamig na kaya don? autumn din target namin. we're submitting our requirements for visa this week. *fingers crossed!*

[pinkat]

Hello. Ask ko lang, Kailangan ba naka-winter gear na pag November? Super lamig na ba? Or carry lang light jacket? I'll be there this Nov 20.TIA sa mga sasagot

5 days ahead lang kami sainyo sis. Anyway, I checked Accuweather around 10C to -1 na by the time na punta kami. Mas malamig pa pag dating niyo. Winter na nun. So for me you need to be prepared. Hehe

[arowen]

^thanks sis. magreready n lang ako ng heavy jacket

[chellai_kawaii]

We will be going there on October 3-7. Tingin niyo, sobrang lamig ba? or kahit light jacket lang din? Saan kayo nagpapalit ng won?

[projectgora]

^^ depende sa tolerance nyo yan mga sis. lamigin ako kaya ang 10 deg ay malamig na para sakin. minsan, biglang baba din kasi ang temperature dun so mas mabuti ng magdala ng jacket. I suggest heattech stuff ng uniqlo kasi yun talaga naging effective para sakin

[janesjane]

Girls, If BPI Gold Cardholder ano need ipresent? billing statement? copy of credit card?  Salamat

[chellai_kawaii]

Mga sissies,
Saan magandang magstay? Wala na kasing available sa namsan guesthouse. Huhu. Please suggest yung okay. 5 person kami. At on budget talaga.
