Where in China are you going? October - Autumn/Fall na.. mas breezy na.. not super cold pa naman.
Pasalubong from Manila to China? Usually dried mangoes? hehe

We got our passports na with Chinese Visa approved! Yehey!

Nag DIY lang kami ng application ni husband. Sya na lang actually ang nagpunta.

Andaming tao daw. And yung mga nagpalakad sa mga agencies.. May separate na drop box where at the end of the day, iopen ng mga nandun and sabay sabay pinaprocess. Weird lang kasi ang application for single entry is 1400 pesos, pag nagpalakad ka sa agency, 2900 pesos. 1500 agad ang kita ng agency. Wildness. Kung dalawa kaming nagpalakad ni husband, 3k din yun. Mabuti din lang na hassle free lang din ang pag DIY application.

Yun lang! I hope its a lil bit chillier sa Mid september.

Btw, anong oras ang rush hour ng trains? Same sa Pinas? (Eh pero lagi na atang rush hour dito saten?)

TIA.

When we went to Beijing in April we didnt encounter horrible rush hour. We encountered it in Xian actually, mga 2pm yun, but once lang, not as bad as expected.

[MedChic]

Sis kachich mejo tolerated na,an siguro ang rush hour nila. Or wag na lang sumabay talaga. Lets see balitaan ko kayo. Hello 4 hours flight! Excited na ako na mejo kinakabahan. Susugod ba naman ako sa talagang pure chinese community. Whew.

🤗🤗

nabura yung post ko. anyway, may bagong requirement sa chinese visa kakaimplement lang nila nung Aug 22 daw. Kailangan na ng old passport, at yung sa requirements, kelangan na lahat ng documents (COE, ITR, bank certificate)

[theflygirl]

Hi, this will be my third time to apply for a Chinese L visa and I noticed the slight revision on the form from last year's version (I got my 2nd one last May 2015).

I'd like to clarify item 1.17 EMPLOYER/SCHOOL, if this pertains to the current status? I got confused because 1.16 is about EDUCATION, so I almost answered where I went to school on 1.17 tuloy.  I'm a professional lakwatsera, haha, so I've no company to speak of.

Any feedback on Disneyland Shanghai? Will be traveling in a few weeks but no set itinerary yet. What are the must sees and must buys? Thanks in advanced ladies!

[lipstick0001]

We were conned in purchasing worth 100k pesos worth of jewekry at a shop which is located at the beijing olympic area. Actual items are not worth more than 10 - 15k pesos.

Long story short, I filed a fraud complaint with Citibank and was issued a full refund.

Now the question is do I need to send the crap back to them? My mom is saying yes, me, a lil torn. Sila nanloko if they want their crap back sila gumawa ng paraan.

The actual con is all over the internet, one person pretends to be son or daughter of the shop owner. The whole staff is in on it. I will post a link of blogs and the thread on tripadvisor when im on a pc.

So when you are joining a tour, when they bring you to quack doctors, tea shops and jewelry. Do not buy anything!!!

[hushush]

Sisses..ask ko lang kung may nakakaalam sa inyo kung kelan ipinatupad sa chinese embassy yung no-handwritten policy sa visa forms..naaawa lang ako sa napapauwi dahil di nila alam at need bumalik kinabukasan..ako man hindi ko alam.just got lucky na nun nag-apply ako ay may malapit na net cafe dun at nakahabol ako sa 9am..

Fyi lang sa mga mag-aapply kung pano mag-edit ng pdf file.i-open nyo sa google chrome ang visa form at dun nyo iedit..

[darna88]

anymore feedback in beijing? we will be there 2 weeks from now . whats the adivsable outfit to wear like how many fleece for inner did you use?...do you really have to wear a "Down JAcket " for outer protection?

[mama squeak!]

^Really depends on your tolerance for cold. Right now nasa 6C na sya then nag nenegative pa at night hindi pa kasama ang wind chill nyan ha so you would really need warm clothing. Try to get those really warm thermals, alam ko meron ng manipis na thermals para hindi naman masyado bulky when you layer up.

[darna88]

mas cheaper ba winter jacket dun kesa dito satin? or the same lang?

[hushush]

^mas mura dito sis.kahit pa sa dongmen na parang divisoria sa shenzhen mahal ang winter clothings dun..kasi mababa ang value ng piso natin hehe..sa ukay-ukay makabili ka ng 600 pesos na branded jackets..i got my Blueplace jacket @380 hehe.kala ko nun una super jackpot ako pero may konting repairs ako ginawa na hindi naman mabusisi.pero tuwa ako kasi pang-below zero talaga ang design at fave color ko pa..may kabigatan nga lang.
Sa baclaran marami din winter clothing dun.nakabili ako ng para sa mga anak ko na mura lang ang set. Fleece sweater + hoodie at pants.

Nga pala mga sis, may nakapunta na ba sa inyo sa Guilin?

Sa Baoan kasi kami mag-spend ng holiday at nag-iinvite yun officemate ng husband ko na magpunta sa Guilin.nakita ko naman via google yun place at mukhang mag-eenjoy naman mga bata. Di bale kung matuloy kami sa Guilin, iseshare ko experiences ko dito.

Happy holidays sisses!

[eischied_21]

^^Better to go to Mutianyu than Badaling. Masyadong crowded ang Badaling wala akong pic na solo ang daming tao sa background ko. Been to both section and I prefer Mutianyu.

Not true that powerbank is prohibited in high-speed trains.
