Korea (Thread 11)

[chocnats]

Mga sis, pag ba multiple entry ang visa, need ba within the year of issue ka pumuntang korea or pwede next year na lang?

I was granted a multiple entry visa kasi tapos this April 16-20 na dapat trip ko kaso I learned na I am pregnant. 10 weeks preggy na ako sa trip ko tapos solo pa ako nun, so I am thinking na postpone ko muna yung trip ko kasi baka mahirapan lang ako. Baka pwedeng imove to next year since multiple entry naman but I'm not sure if pwede yun hehe

[fornarina]

^hi sis ME 3 years naman diba? I think ok naman maski next yr ka na magtravel esp if multiple naman.... Congrats pala 👶🏻

Hi guys!  Makikisingit lang. Regarding Visa applications, do you know anyone who applied as a recently grad student na nareject or nahingan ng additional requirements? Nagpabook kasi kami sa last week of April, but by that time, kakatapos lang ng graduation ko so I'm kinda worried if this will affect my chances of getting a visa (I'll be applying a few days before I graduate). Will submitting a school certificate indicating that I'm a candidate for graduation suffice? Or baka hingan ako ng different set of requirements since technically, I'm no longer a student? Help naman mga sisses

just got back from Seoul. Kahit naka-ilang balik na gusto ko pa uli bumalik. sarap mag-shopping! hehe!

btw, i was granted ME for 3 yrs kaya ngayon pa lang hanap na uli ako promo fare. lol

Nag-bloom na yung mga cherry blossoms. By the end of this week full bloom na siguro lahat ng puno. Nakakatawa nga yung una naming naabutan na cherry blossom sa neighborhood ng guesthouse namin, lumalagas na agad. Tapos meron kami nadaanan, wala pa yun nung punta namin tapos kahapon, full bloom na! Haha!

^ Hi Sis Katniss. Do you think maabutan pa kaya namin ang cherry blossom sa April 19? yan kasi ang day ng arrival namin ng mga bata sana maabutan pa namin.

Hi katniss! Same here! I was in SK with my family last holy week and it was so bitin! We are waiting for promo fares din ulet so we can go back. 3 years ME din kameng lahat.

Buti pa kayo may naabutang cherry blossoms. Parang puro buds palang yung nakita namen nung nandun kame e. Pero sana next time makaabot din kame.

I am just not sure kasi this week na yung festival, full bloom na rin most of them the other day. Depende sa weather daw kung kelan sya mag-lalagas - kung maulan or mahangin. Pero baka meron pa naman sa northernmost part pa ng Seoul. Sana maabutan nyo!

[angelpie18]

Hi sisses! How's the weather in Seoul lately? We will be there next week, and I'm wondering if heat tech underclothes would still be needed, especially for my daughter. TIA!

Madilang angel ka sana Sis. Kantniss , salamat pala sa info. Sana may maabutan pa kami kasi yan din ang isang sinadya namin ang makakita ng cherry blossom.

Sa mga may dalang kids, "stroller friendly" ba ang Korea?

Oh and hows the weather? Im just relying on accuweather, parang hindi sila nagkakalayo sa weather din ng Japan.

Enjoy your trips mga sisses! Safe travel!

[katniss]

when we were there mainit na kapag tanghali kasi sunny na eh. Lumalamig na lang sa kapag hapon, pagabi pero di na sobrang layer. Magdala na lang kayo ng pagdoble sa bag if ever lumamig na sa gabi kasi Im sure most of us di na bumabalik sa mga tirahan, dere derecho lang gala

re: stroller friendly most of the subways have elevator na and/or escalator. Yung kasama namin nung 2014 me dala syang stroller for their one yr old boy. Idk kung nahirapan sila mukhang hindi naman. hehe

[happyfemme]

Thank you sis for the info! Noted!

[pret_ty68]

Just got back from South Korea. We were able to see the cherry blossoms at full bloom in Jinhae. Na experience namin na habang naglalakad naglalaglagan ang mga petals. Sa seoul wala pang masyadong flowers mas marami pa ang kalbong puno kesa sa flowers pero may mga nadaanan na rin kaming konting cherry blossoms and sa changdeukgung palace meron na rin hindi nga lang kasing rami nang sa jinhae. As to weather pag sunny mainit na nga pag tanghali pero pag umuulan sobrang lamig sa labas. Sa tingin ko hindi naman kailangan nang heattech bumili kasi ako nang heattech sa uniqlo sa myeongdong same lang naman ang effect nya sa simple shirt lang pero baka pag yung extra warm na heattech maganda wala kasing nakalagay kung warm o extra warm yung nabili ko isa lang kasi ang type nang heattech doon.  Maganda rin sa nami island parang winter pa rin kasi kalbo pa yung mga puno. Sa garden of the morning calm and everland naman maraming tulips.   

[angelpie18]

Than you sisses for the info regarding the weather and about heattech. Magbabaon na din kami to be on the safe side. Hopefully, maabutan namin ang full bloom sa Seoul. We will be there from tomorrow until Saturday.

Safe travels, sisses!

We are currently in Korea and so far anlamig padin. Mahangin na malamig pa lalo na pag 5pm onwards. For pasalubong, super sulit bumili sa Lotte Mart (Seoul Station). Thanks to our sisses here and their recommendations. Must buy nga Binch choco biscuits pati market O brownies. Nakabili kami Buy1Take1 na Binch yesterday then naka sale din Lotte Farm on the Road na choco biscuits. For pasalubong, wala ng mas mumura sa 1k won na socks. Keychains and ref magnets puro 2-3K nakikita namin pero baka mas mura sa namdaemun.
We also went sa Yeouido earlier, grabe un crowd. Parang luneta lang peg. Although madami cherry blossoms, mas madami din sa may labas lang ng N Seoul Tower. Super worth it pumunta ng spring. Anganda ng cherry blossoms. Di nakakasawa picturan.

[bigdadis_girl]

shocks! I suddenly miss Seoul sa mga kwento nyo sisses...
I want to experience spring time again.  Kaso yung next na punta ko this year mukhang autumn ulet eh.  Pero okay lang naman maganda pa din.  super enjoy ko sya last year.
Na miss ko din mag shopping at mag food trip.
Sana may makita na akong pomegranate tea dito, sa lotte mart lang kasi namin nakita yun.

[katniss]

FULL BLOOM na raw as of April 8
