Korea (Thread 11)

[piggybear]

Hi guys, ask ko lang.. Buong family kasi naman pupunta sa korea. Si mom and 2 siblings ko issponsor ng dad ko (na kasama rin sa trip). For students, kelangan ng parents' financial support docs and then for housewife naman, kelangan ng husband's itr, coe and bank cert.

Since kasama naman dad ko sa trip and ipapasa naman din niya yung docs above, kelangan pa rin ba ng another set of dad's docs para iattach each sa application ng siblings and mom ko? Or hindi na?

Thanks!

Hi sisses,

Question..natanong ko na ata ito, pero ulitin ko na din..mas adviseable ba na USD  dalhin tlaga namen? Kasi gabi yung dating namen mga 9pm so i doubt magbyahe pa kme pamyeongdong to get KRW. sa bukchon vill yung guesthouse namen e and everland kame the next day..  balak ko magmyeongdong muna..ito yung iti, pafeedback naman..

Day1
Myeongdong para magpapalit
Everland til after lunch lang
Namsan tower

Day 2 (10pm flight back to manila)
changdeuk or gyeongbokgung palace
alive museum sa insadong (may nakapunta naba dito?)
To airport

Salamat 😄

@batanglaboy, sis, better to bring KRW when you travel na. If mag-Myeong-dong pa kayo sa morning, establishments are not yet open ng early morning, baka mahirapan pa kayo maghanap ng money changer. If you prefer, which we did, nag withdraw din kami ng money sa Korea, rate is competitive naman. Going back, if from myeong-dong, about 30 minutes train pa going to Gangnam then mag-bus pa kayo ng ~ an hour to Everland tapos until after lunch lang kayo. Sayang ang time. Ok naman sa Everland lalo na if you'll ride T-Express, medyo mahaba din ang waiting time dun. If you're going to Namsan Tower after, doable pa din 'coz they closes until 11PM naman.

[batanglaboy]

^^ thanks sis. Yun din naisip ko parang mga 9am pa ata nagbubukas yung shops.

anyone who's been to alive museum in insadong?,sa net yun daw ang main eh.. walking distance lang kasi from our guesthouse..

[dooonna]

Anyone here who has a format of the AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT? Hindi ako makakita ng okay na format sa net mashadong detailed hehe. Thank you

[esor]

^sis batanglaboy, malayo ang Everland sulitin nyo na lang yung whole day dun 
kaya lang 2 days lang pala kayo. or mag Lotteworld na lang kayo, mas malapit 

^sis dooonna, sent it to you na.

[sweetsweet]

^ako rin sis, pwede mo ba ma-PM sa akin? Ang boss kasi ni hubby always on the go so Lahat ng paper works (COE, Invitation letter, support papers) kami gagawa then email sa kanya then saka Nya papa Dhl dito na May signatures na Nya.

Sa June pa naman mag aapply si hubby kasi September ang convention Nila sa daejon. Hope Hindi ganun kalamig doon by that time.

Hi sisses,

Approved visa namen ni bf and multiple entry hehe

Hi sis, paano ka nag apply ng multiple entry visa? Yun sana gusto ko ma approve next time i apply sa Korean Embassy. May specific ba na i che check sa form or fi-fill up an for multiple entry? Or saan and when magbabayad?

[batanglaboy]

^^ discretion sya ng embassy, either madami kang salapi or ilang beses kana pumunta ng korea or may visa ka from other OECD eklat... i think yun yung mga napapagbigyan ng multiple entry.. all depende sa decision ng embassy

[dulcette]

@dulcette, were you able to use your Paypal account as proof of income? My husband gets his salary thru PayPal kasi.

^ nope. i used my ITR. my paypal archive was rejected sa US embassy. better not show it kasi I don't think they will accept it. Ang alam ko if you cannot provide an ITR they will schedule you for a personal interview, that's when you'll get a chance to show and explain your Paypal archives.

[travelling_daisy]

tanong lang snowing pa ba sa korea now, we'll be there on weekend. anung temp?

Sis, around 2-4deg C ngayon sa Korea, sunny and not snowing. You may check accuweather for weather reports. It's almost accurate naman.

[dulcette]

Very cold and windy today. -13 coldest to -5 na pinakamainit today.

[dulcette]

It snowed today it wasn't in the weather forecast, but the day before snowfall talaga ang malamig. In fact coldest ever for this winter season.

[u8mypinkcookies]

Hi guys any suggestions on things to do and places to see in Busan? Going there september after spending a couple of days in Seoul

Cannot wait to go back sa Korea!!

[lg34]

Ask ko lang...ano kaya mas oks during winter - nakaglasses or nakacontacts? Going to korea this feb kasi and a bit worried of my eyes.

[Eggpudding]

By next month kaya mag ssnow pa? Next month na alis namin wahh! kakakaba na sa pag apply ng visa. Baka mag pasa skami this week! Ano bang advisable na suoting? Nag tingin nako ng thermal wear sa uniqlo, kaso out of stock na sila! huhu! san paba ko makaka bili ng mga ganun? Yung affordable hehe! Hindi naman ako ganun ka lamigin, si bf medyo medyo... Wala padin pala kaming itinerary. XD pati accommodation. Pinaka huling alam kong okay eh yung EO Residences? Nag check ako sa agoda, parang madaming rooms pa yung 24th Guesthouse? Plan namin kunin yung double na private, with own cr. Recos naman sisses ng itinerary at accommodation. Yung tamang itinerary lang.. alanganin kasi yung travel dates namin, parang lalabas 3 whole days lang kami. Pero gusto ko mag Nami Island =P

[abbeydasassy]

nakastay nako sa 24 guesthouse sobrang ok siya for me. just pick the ones the nearest sa mga iti nyo. Nami island i think dapat mag allot ka ng half or whole day talaga coz medyo may kalayuan siya matao din siya kasi even locals dinadayo nila din lalo if weekends.

[longing]

@Eggpudding, March last year ang travel namin sa SoKor and unfortunately, wala ng snow.  Sa Nami Island may small mound of snow na lang sa entrance.

Yeah, nag pull-out na ang uniqlo ng thermal. March is still pretty cold, tail-end winter pero na-experience namin ang 1 degree temp thus, super cold for us lalo na napaka tropical here. M&S has thermal all year long pero expensive siya than Uniqlo. Unless sa SoKor na lang kayo buy.

[Eggpudding]

Sis longing and sis abbeydasassy thanks for the reply =)

Sa 24 Guesthouse ba free breakfast din? hehe. Yun talaga ang habol, lols! sa EO daw walang elevator.

sis longing, ahh bale pag march  mga pinaka mababa bang temp umaabot ng 1 deg? aww.. baka mag himala at magka snow. haha! climate change XD onga pala sa M&S! Pero gabi ang dating namin doon eh.. madami padin bang bukas na stores dun kahit gabi? Mas cheaper doon bumili ng thermals? jackets? down jacket ba tawag dun? May nakita ako sa uniqlo nasa 7K ata.. naka sale na ata yun. Hindi naman kami siguro ngangatugin habang nag sshop for thermals? haha!

another question pala, yung dun sa application form, what nilagay nyo dun sa type ng passport? Ordinary Passport ba? dun kasi sa passport natin nakalagay ay "P" should i select "Other" then put "P"? Tapos kung sarili mo mag fund ng travel, ill put "Myself" ?? ganun ba?

TIA!
