we'll be staying at Myeongdong Town Guesthouse. Mukhang okay naman yung location nia. 247500 for 5 nights. Not bad. may nakapagstay na po ba dito sa inyo mga sis? 17 days nalaaang!:D

^^  sis pinkat, I guess your Day 2 is too loaded. You really need to go to 3 palaces? For me it's nakakaumay na if ganon, pare-pareho naman ang itsura nila. I guess mas okay if you choose only 1.

Also, walang  Rainbow Fountain show in Banpo Bridge pag winter. You might want to reconsider, sayang ang effort pagpunta...

[cartman]

so sad wala pa pala cherry blossom ng 3rd week ng march wahaha pangarap ko makita yun hehe.

[longing]

@pinkat, medyo haggard girl ang IT mo for Day 1, although I think you plotted it correctly, parang walang room to eat and just enjoy what's in store for you sa place.

Day 2, I agree with @travelling_daisy, too loaded.

[longing]

@cartman, puro tuyong puno ang meron pag March. Wish ko din ang sakura.

@sonia62 yun nga eh,pumunta naman ako ng BIR to check kung tama yung TIN and birth date sa records nila, tama naman. Ang sabi pa ng empleyado dun sakin na yung gumawa ng BIR 2316 yung nagkamali which is nga yung payroll namin. I was hoping kung may nangyaring same case na rin nito..much better ba na iparevise ko na lang o ipresent ko na lang yung TIN card ko??

Sis pinkat, try not to include too much locations kasi na kakapagod talaga hehe. Most of the time kasi maglalakad ka talaga dun. The tourist spots are not that far away from each other kaya kaya lakarin karamihan. Plus, taking the taxi all the time is pretty expensive while riding the bus is confusing kaya subway ang pinakaconvenient mode of travel. And taking the subway means WALKING talaga. Nung nagpunta ako, I had a lot of locations sa itinerary na pinilit ko puntahan kaya in the end,di ko masyado na enjoy coz my feet ached too much... Tip din, download the jihachul app. This is their subway app that shows rates, transfers, estimated travel time and maps of their subways. Plus, if you're going to one area, for example sa Myeongdong, hanapin mo agad Yung tourist assistance center nila and ask for a map. They have very detailed maps kasi for every tourist spot. Looking back nga, I wish I had extended my stay from 5 days to 7 days na lang para hindi mala-amazing race Yung ginawa ko

^I agree, 1 palace is enough na to visit, kasi same same lang din naman (hanok hanok hanok).IMO visit Gyeongbokgung Palace na lang sis, at least dun ma experience mo pa makita yung changing of guards and free hanbok wearing na din, then sa front is Gwanghwamun Plaza na, konting lakad Cheonggyecheon stream na 

[pinkat]

Thanks sissies for the heads up.  Day 1 kasi namin we want to search for winter clothes though we have naman we still want to buy sana. Hehe. For the palaces which palaces do you recommend? Ayaw dn naman namin mabored or masayang time kasi same same lang. And btw I did intensive research on those using jihachul app. And you are right girls super detailed love that app! Def must have!

[pinkat]

Btw, is banpo bridge and gangnam must visit or should I leave it alone nalang? lol

[itsnikimendoza]

hello sisses ask ko lang ulit, san ba sa korea yung madaming tindahan ng mga cases and kaartehan sa phones? yun kasi pabili ng mga sisters ko. hehe tia

[esor]

^sis itsnikimendoza, sa Myeondong ka mag stay di ba? madami na dun, kahit dun sa Myeongdong station meron din.

[travelling_daisy]

Btw, is banpo bridge and gangnam must visit or should I leave it alone nalang? lol

Banpo Bridge is okay if there's Rainbow Fountain, but I think sa travel dates mo which is winter season, walang fountain show, so I'll scrap that na lang if  I were you. Nothing to see, I think...

Sa Gangnam, I haven't explored that area yet so I can't comment. I guess it's for cafes and upscale shopping.

[arowen]

^sa banpo ba yung mandalas pinapakita sa dramas na madami ng nagpipicnic? If yun nga, parang maganda siyang puntahan. When I was there kasi, nadaanan ng bus pero hindi kami nakapunta since otw to the airport na kami. Parang cute dun kasi may mga tents that you could rent

Gangnam, puro buildings hehe pero in explore ko Yung underground shopping center?ang daming magagandang ng damit

[itsnikimendoza]

Hi sis, yes don nga. yay thanks!:) excited na ko hehe last question, sulit ba pumunta sa lotte world kaya?

^sis itsnikimendoza, sa Myeondong ka mag stay di ba? madami na dun, kahit dun sa Myeongdong station meron din.
