[kobekitten]

Going with my boyfriend on Holy Week (March) for 4days/4nights.  still working on our visa application. we plan to submit the docs next week.

Any hotel or airbnb recommendations, please? Budget is P4k per night, max.

I have a question regarding Banpo Bridge, tama ba ang pagkakaintindi ko na di sya operating ng November to March.. as in walang lights pag ganitong months?

We are going to Korea in March and we were hoping to see the light show.

^most of thhe airbnb places are south of the river, medyo malayo for tourist spots look into jongno area or hongdae or myeongdong... For hotel center mark hotel in insadong is a good location gitna to everything

Hi mga sis!

Question again. When and where is the best place to exchange your money to won? Better ba na dito sa Pilipinas bumili or sa Korea na? Also, better ba to exchange peso to won directly or dapat may US dollars pa rin?

Thanks!

If you can do it here sis ok din sa paranaque ok naman makipagpalit to won. If hindi bring usd, papalit lang ng konti for airport bus (10-14,000krw) the rest have it exchanged sa insadong, myeongdong area, pwede din dongdaemun

 I used credit card with my makeup haul and noticed na parang may surcharge na mga 100-200 php nung dumating na bill pero at point of purchase mega compute ako exchange rate kaya alam ko iba yung rate e bat ganun thought kasi kung ano lang conversion for the day

If you withdraw from atms may mga 150-180 php surcharge don't remember exactly

Hi. Punta kami ng family ko sa SK sa March. Kaso ala akong makitang requirements for senior citizens kase kasama naman parents namin sa tour. May nakaka alam po ba kung anong requirements for them? Thanks.

I'll be going to Korea ng April 4 - 16 haha Busan/Jinhae - Jeju - Seoul. Na tetempt akong mag pa update ng BPI credit card ko para sa promo pero may OECD visa na din ako kaya bank certificate na lang kailangan ko no need for ITR.

Syempre cherry blossom ang pakay namin. Halos lahat ng flights namin via Jeju Air except lang yung Manila - Busan namin which is via Cebu Pacific.

https://www.jejuair.net/jejuair/main.jsp - sa upper right hand corner may language selection piliin nyo na lang Philippines. All our flights lumabas na 10k all in per person. Mas mura actually ibang araw to and from jeju pero may mga target days kami kaya di pa yung lowest possible yung nakukuha namin. lowest ko atang nakita pa jeju is around 21,000KRW one way.

In my experience ok ang exchange rate ng BDO pero nung last na punta ko 3 weeks before di nila ako nabigyan ng KRW kaya USD dinala ko. Mag reserve ako maaga this time kasi malaki kailangan ko kasi matagal kami hehe.

[fornarina]

^uy sis ok yan ₩21k one way to jeju, hindi ko pa actually talaga naappreciate ang jeju.

Ang gusto ko mapuntahan is yung laVender festival i think around summertime to e

[blue-purple]

^sis gusto ko din ng lavender field kasi fave scent and color ko yan. summer pala yun. may mga recommendation ka ng to visit sa korea? sa susunod ito naman target ko haha

[Eggpudding]

Sisses, question lang ulit regarding sa pag apply ng Visa using BPI Gold Promo. May bearing ba or something kung yung BPI Gold CC mo ay supplementary lang? or kung may supplementary ka? May nakapag apply naba sa inyo BPI or BDO na supplementary lang ang card or may supplementary card? Plan ko kasi bigyan ng extension supplementary gold card si hubby para yun nadin ang gagamitin nya sa pag apply ng Visa... kaso iniisip ko kung baka magka prob kung ganoon nga yung gold cards namin.

Ayun sana may makasagot.

TIA sisses!

Is May a good time to go to Jeju? Esp re weather? Or November kaya?

[blackgreen]

^december nakabook namin trip to korea and we're planning din to go to jeju for the snow.

[kobekitten]

^^ The weather is perfect in Jeju in November. Cool but not too cold to have to wear sweaters/scarves. Parang Tagaytay lang.

[korewa25]

Super lamig here now. Seoul is around -11 degree celcius, dito sa amin mga -5.
Gusto ko lumabas ng bahay, but I just can't dahil sa ginaw.
Bring super thick jackets those who are planning to go here this month and February.

No problem naman kung supplementary or principal ang credit card basta may maipasa kang soa and photocopy ng cards.
