^sa pagkakaintindi ko sis if July 2017 expiry ng passport, February 2017 ang start ng bilang ng 6 mos validity.
 pwede pa po sya mag apply ng VISA on September, tama ka po 10 mos valid pa passport nya and pwede pa magtravel until Jan 2017.

[mariz11]

^Yan din intindi ko e. Kasi ilalagay naman ni Embassy na at least 1year valid ang passport if yan ang gusto nilang assurance. Nakagulo pa kasi na until 6mos prior to expiration lang valid ang passport. Hahaha oh english, don't me. Anyways sis thanks so much!

^ Hi sis. We also booked our flights to Busan 2 weeks ago for 1999. We will be in Busan by October, autumn din. And we are flying back in Manila from Incheon. Booked it 2499 via Cebu Pac. Please share your itinerary for autumn must see's in Korea. TIA.

Hi sorry i just read this! Wow! I didnt see that 2499 Incheon to Manila. May I know your date of return?

this would be my first autumn in Seoul, puro kasi ako Spring sa previous travels. Anyway, I've heard na ito raw magandang tourist spots kapag autumn:

Garden of Morning Calm
Nami Island
Secret Garden in Changdeokgung
Deoksogung Stone Wall
Wiryeoseong-gil
Suncheon Bay

lahat yan di ko pa pinuntahan previously kasi I'm reserving it for Autumn travel!

Hi sis, October 19 yung ICN-MNL namin. Sana ma-maximize namin. Kasama kase namin ang mom ko kaya hindi ako kampante to fully booked yung whole day namin.

Yay, Nami Island. Kaso it will take us 1 day. Baka ok na ako sa Namsan. Visible naman daw doon ang Autumn leaves. Hehe. Parang mas gusto ko mag-shopping. Hahaha.

[katniss]

^hahaha true. shopping talaga ang masarap balik-balikan sa Korea. Para bang nasa candy or toy store ka kung bata ka )

may sale na naman going to Korea! 4500 lang RT!!

[reeseay]

Help, please! Anyone tried to stay in Angel Hotel in Busan? Paano kayo pumunta from Gimhae Airport to the hotel? Arriving 8:50PM in Gimhae. Meron pa kayang Limousine Bus available to Lotte Hotel? Tapos lakad nalang? Or delikado na? TIA!

[katniss]

^hi sis! have you tried using Google Maps? It is very useful. You can even check the last train or bus departing. Here it is: https://goo.gl/maps/NE1vy3zkW2M2

hth!

Hi! Is this itinerary doable?

530am arrival at INCHEON AIRPORT

Will take AREX to Seoul Station then:

- Gyeongbokgung Palace
- Bukchon Hanok Village
- Insandong
- Ehwa/Hongdae
- Myeongdong (until 8-9pm, our flight to LA is at 130am pa naman)

We have a 20-hour layover, and I'm allotting maybe 12 hours for our transit self tour (allowed to diba?) Sobrang layo ba nila sa isa't isa? Which places would you recommend us do/don't? Super, super TIA!

[momlory]

Hi mga sis. San pang place where we can buy street foods saka food for pasalubong at maiuuwi. maliban sa myeongdong? Yun kasi trip namin ni hubby eh magfoodtrip
 

[katniss]

^^kaya yan lahat puntahan basta sobrang maging aware lang kayo sa oras. Unahin mo yung Bukchon sis kasi yung palace baka di pa bukas by the time na nasa Seoul na kayo. Ang medyo malayo lang dyan ay yung edae at hongdae pero 30 mins away lang naman. keri yan

Thank you! Baka hindi na namin puntahan Insadong haha Anong mas okay kaya sis Hongdae or Ehwa? Pwede ba pumasok ng Ehwa mismo?

[katniss]

^oh no my top two faves. parehas ok eh. sa school yup pwede pumasok. yung palibot nun puro shopping-an

[roxyhart]

My husband surprised me the other day with tickets to Korea.  It's for end of November to start of December. I do hope to see the autumn colors, kaso pa-winter na yata that time? But that's my most available week na (which I made parinig to hubby; he was planning to go U.S. on those days but he decided to book U.S. for Sept tapos Korea na lang kami for late December. Yaaay!) 

[momlory]

Autumn season pa kaya ng nov1 to nov 6 anyone knows? Or tapos na?

Sa shopping naman marami nagsasabi sa ewha at gangnam. Marami rin bang kainan dun na mura kesa meongdong? Dun namin plano magstay yung malapit sa mura kainan at shopping thanks

[snowkeis]
