Thank you sis:) From seoul ba paano pumunta nang jinhae? Mga ilang oras travel time? Kaya kaya na balikan lang?

[korewa25]

^Pwede KTX or bus sis.  Mga around 4 hours travel time from Seoul. Pero if you are coming from Busan mas malapit, kaya mga 1.5 hour.

[pret_ty68]

^Thanks. We will be staying in Seoul Sis. Day trip na lang kami siguro kasi mahirap ang palipat lipat. We plan to catch the earliest trip from seoul to Jinhae and pabalik the latest trip naman sana kayanin.

Hi mga sis! We'll be travelling sa Seoul on Feb 27-March5 (though wala pa kaming Visa, wish me luck! hehe), winter pa din ba yun? Gusto kasi sana naming ni hubby na makaexperience ng snow. Bukas pa ba yung mga ski-resorts by those days? sana may makasagot. TIA!

Hi Sis, yup winter pa yan. Til March ang winter sa Korea. Tipong nasa 4-9 deg pag umaga. Pag gabi naman minsan 1 deg or minsan nag nenegative pa. Last year nag punta kami March 11-15 at soooobrang lamig padin. Sobrang nag dry lips ko parang na wind burn nga, tapos si hubby naman nag ka frost bite pa. lols! Alam ko din open pa mostly mga ski resorts nun, nag sasara sila by 2nd week of march daw. Sa mga ibang parts ng seoul may snow pa non, pero ewan lang kung may snow fall pa.

Abang din ako ng seat sale, yung as in piso fare. lols! meron na kaming ticket papunta palang via cebu pac, nakuha namin ng 1499 per head one way. kasama na din yung terminal fee. Lalabas nasa 800+ lang yung pinaka fare. Pwede na.. lols! wait nalang ulit para sa pauwi. XD

Tsaka pala, ask ko na din sisses, dun sa mga nag apply ng visa gamit yung BDO Gold or BPI Gold Promo, ilang month na SOA ang sinubmit nyo?

Thanks!

Hello! Ask ko lang po how much palitan dyan ngayon ng USD to KRW?
Iniisip ko kasi magwithdraw na lang kesa magpapalit ng PHP to USD tapos USD to KRW lugi 2 yung conversion. Tapos if magwithdraw, magkano yung surcharge? P150 ba? BDO and BPI.
TIA!

How do you compare their rail system to Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore? Madali ba maintindihan?

[princess lorraine]

^hhmmmm.... It's a bit complicated than train systems of hk and sg. It's more comparable to tokyo train system. Pero kaya naman sis sa una umpisa lang medyo nalito ako. 

[ataypool]

^Thank you, now I know what to expect.

Hi sis! Depende yan sa guesthouse and area e. Kami last year March, sa Myeongdong kami nag stay. Tomato Guesthouse, nasa 2k per night kami, for 2pax na yun. Free breakfast. May mas mura din yung tipong pang back packer style/dorm style may kasamang iba. Sa Agoda sis makakakita ka ng rates nila.
