@cartman, no snow na pero malamig pa din. Need pa din ng bubble jacket and thermal underneath.

@eggpudding: Hindi pa kayo nakabook? Naku, tumataas na nga ang rates. Yung samin kasi ng friend ko promo fare, so goodbye na dun kung sakaling hindi kami mabigyan ng visa

Yesterday nga dapat pick-up schedule ko of my passport kaso daming work sa office, hindi ko pa nababalikan. Sana hindi matabunan passport ko.. huhu (and sana din they were able to verify thru our HR)
Balitaan mo kami sis when you finally get your bf's passport ha

How much sis ang promo fare na kuha mo?

gemstonerainbow · « **Reply #243 on:** March 05, 2015, 10:55:19 am »

^Naku, mejo mahal yung promo fare na nakuha namin. Around 11k per person.

Eggpudding · « **Reply #244 on:** March 05, 2015, 01:10:26 pm »

Sisses! nakalimutan ko na mag post dito sa ka busyhan. lols!

Ayun! nakuha ko din nung tues! lols! nakuha ko din ang visa nya. 3 times ako nagpabalik balik.

@gemstonerainbow Nakabook na kami ng airfare, last year pa, nung nag piso fare ang CebuPac, nasa P6500 per head RT ang nakuha naming airfare na piso fare. Pero wala pang baggage allowance yun. Ang di pa namin naboobook ay yung accommodation, then di padin kami nakakabili ng mga winter gears. Andun yung friend ko ngayon, sobrang lamig daw.. lols!

Sisses, ano nga ulit yung mas okay? Dito sa Manila mag papapalit ng: Peso to Won? or Peso to $ then to Won? Or doon na and pano nga ba? lols! wala ako idea kasi.

TIA!!

^better to have your peso exchanged in Won here.

gemstonerainbow · « **Reply #246 on:** March 06, 2015, 05:10:15 pm »

@Eggpudding: Congrats! You can now book and continue with the planning of your trip

Ako din I got my passport na, and buti naman they approved my application. Kala ko sasablay pa ako on my 2nd application. hehe Where are you planning on staying in Seoul? Hotel or guesthouse? I'm looking at other options kasi.

To our sisses here, would you know when is the start of the Cherry Blossom Festival in Yeuido Park para alam ko pano isisingit sa IT namin

Also, maaga din ba ang cherry blossoms this year or sakto lang 2nd week of April? I read kasi na last year mejo napaaga ang cherry blossoms.

Eggpudding · « **Reply #247 on:** March 06, 2015, 05:41:36 pm »

^Congrats din sis! =) Onga e, eto na nag sscout nako for accomm, clothes etc. Sa Myeongdong kami mag stay, nag hahanap pako ng mga guesthouse =) Di keri pag hotel, lols! di keri ng budget. We will have our prenup shoot din kasi doon, so madaming gastos. Nasa shortlist ko ngayon yung 88 Guesthouse Seoul, Namsan GH tsaka yung 24 Guesthouse.

Sisses, san kayo nag papapalit ng mga peso nyo to Won? tsaka gano katagal yung ganun? Kasi alis namin sa Wed, mga 12nn nasa airport na. 3Pm ang flight e. Sa BDO daw ang selling nila ay .0404 pero nung kahapon ko pa natanong yan. Dun sa money changer na malapit samin, sabi ang baba daw ngayon, parang 500 pesos sa 10K Won. Any suggestions sisses?

TIA!

longing · « **Reply #248 on:** March 07, 2015, 11:32:35 am »

^kung next week na ang alis nyo short notice na sa banks, BDO kasi requires at least a week so they can gather pa won. might be dependent din sa amount na you're requesting. Your best bet will be money changer na then withdraw ka na lang once you get to Korea. Just my opinion and it worked for me kasi ganyan ginawa ko.

esor · « **Reply #249 on:** March 07, 2015, 11:52:18 am »

^sis Eggpudding , try mo sa sanrys.
sa kanila kasi basta may available , makakakuha ka agad.

^sis gemstonerainbow, usually nga daw 2nd week of April ang Cherry Blossoms, pero last year 1st week of April pa lang meron na.

rafael_015 · « **Reply #250 on:** March 09, 2015, 09:35:39 am »

^ sis share ko lang yung samin last Feb. nagpapalit kami PHP to USD. tapos pagdating ng Korea, papalit mo USD to KRW. mas malaki

Eggpudding · « **Reply #251 on:** March 09, 2015, 01:01:09 pm »

^Sis, same lang din ba yun kung from BPI ATM namin sya iwithdraw? Ganun din yung rates? Or mas ok pag nag papalit talaga ng peso sa BPI? Pwede bang short notice sa BPI? Re Cherry Blossom sa Jinhae, tama ba, 5hrs ang byahe papunta from Myeongdong?

^^Sis rafael_015 worth it ba talaga? hehe. from peso to $ to KRW?

anjcam · « **Reply #252 on:** March 09, 2015, 01:39:55 pm »

^Short notice lang naman din kami sa BPI, depende yata sa availability ng won kung meron sila. kasi tumawag lang naman kami bago naming I-pick up

Not sure if same lang if withdraw sa atm. never ko na natry.

Yes, 5hrs kasi mas malapit ang jinhae sa busan. Galing kasi ako busan nung nagpunta ko Jinhae

Eggpudding · « **Reply #253 on:** March 09, 2015, 03:09:38 pm »

^Thanks sis! Sige try ko nalang din dumaan sa BPI at BDO later pag uwi =) Sayang yung sa Jinhae. haha! Ngayon naman iniisip namin kung ipapalit namin yung Yongpyong snow sa Everland XD para lang maka experience ng snow. haha! XD

gemstonerainbow · « **Reply #254 on:** March 09, 2015, 04:10:47 pm »

Sis rafael_015, hindi ba may loss ka na kapag bumili ka ng dollar from here tapos ipalit mo sa Won in Korea than ipalit mo diretcho yung peso to Won?

Sis anjcam, thanks for sharing your blog link, ang ganda talaga ng cherry blossom festival, pero parang super layo sa Seoul. Anong date pala kayo nagpunta diyan? Last year lang ba yan? Sorry, hindi ko na napansin yung posting date sa blog

I'm thinking of going to Yeuido park sa may National Assembly na lang.

anjcam · « **Reply #255 on:** March 09, 2015, 04:47:02 pm »

^last year yan sis. 2nd week of April if I'm not mistaken. If nasa Seoul ka, ok na daw ang Yeuido Park. But if Busan, Jinhae ang pinakamalapit for cherry blossom festival

Sa jinhae kasi, parang fiesta hehe! Not sure with Yeuido. Hindi ako nakapunta during cherry blossoms dun.

rafael_015 · « **Reply #256 on:** March 10, 2015, 09:57:30 am »

^^ actually mas malaki yung palitan ng USD to KRW compared to PHP to KRW. nung nagcompute kami, mas malaki siya kapag pinapalit mo muna to USD. kaya pagdating sa korea, dun na kami nagpapalit ng USD to KRW. pero kayo bahala mga sis hehe check niyo yung conversions.

So mahigpit na visa? I need to get pa naman for september

hassle kasi fourth time ko na now and yung sa past trips eh lagig single entry lang!

sophistique · « **Reply #258 on:** March 11, 2015, 03:44:10 pm »

Regarding visa application, may magiging problem kaya kung kami lang ni boyfie yung mag-aapply ng visa? Group of 5 naman kami na mag-vacation kaso baka mauna kami mag-apply ng visa.
