[blackgreen]

^yep sis! Kakaloka ang baba noh. Pero kung same lang ng add-ons yan nung nabili kong sale this month papatak din ng 3.2k rt. Pero super baba pa rin diba!!

[mariz11]

Pwede na yun sis may free 15kg baggage naman na ito hahaha! wag na in-flight meals. Kaya lang japan kasi kami next year haha di makapag-take advantage. Heads up na lang sa mga wala pang tix sa mga gusto mag-korea hihi!

[blackgreen]

^jetstar sis, medyo mura din ang pa-Japan pag promo.

So meron na ako Jeju itinerary pwede ba to or medyo tight ang schedule?
Day 1 ETA Jeju 9AM
- Ripley's museum
- Jusangjeolli cliff
- Jeongbang falls
- Chenjiyeon falls
Sa may malapit sa falls na kami hahanap ng matutulugan
Day 2 ETD 8AM
- Seopjikoji lighthouse
- Seongsan sunrise peak
- Manjanggul cave and Gimnyeong maze
Flight to Seoul 9:20PM

DIY lang kami 1st day, 2nd day car hire para maximize namin. Tight ba masyado yun schedule? Gawin ko bang 3d2n ang Jeju?

[missreese]

okay ba service ng jeju air? may nakapagtry na ba? baka kasi puro delay, issue sa baggage etc.

[blackgreen]

^1st time ko pa lang sis ittry this april. Magbigay ako feedback. Sana okay.

[mariz11]

Ok naman siya. May na-experience kaming delay on boarding pero yung time of departure same pa rin kaya nakakabilib talaga system nila. Malayo sila sa cebpac. Mas comfortable nga lang para sa aking ang cebpac. Siguro kasi mainit sa plane gawa ng heater. Pero ayos sila.

[avesoriano]

They have extended the bpi and bdo promo for visa. Ill apply again after my taiwan this february. Sana maapprove na ng 5 years hassle ang pagasikaso ng visa e

[sophistique]

Anong website or app gamit niyo to check/compute how much yun transpo cost? Sa googlemaps kasi direction lang eh.

Pa-comment naman mga sis sa akin draft itinerary. Sinisimulan ko na gawan para di ako magahol sa oras pag na-approve na visa namin.

Day 0 11:50pm flight to Incheon
Day 1 Gyeongbokgung, national folk museum, bukchon hanok village
Day 2 Ehwa university, sinchon, war memorial, N seoul tower
Day 3 DMZ & JSA tours
Day 4 Nami island, petite france and
Day 5 Korean folk village and Lotte mart
Day 6 and 7 free time, any suggestion? (Btw saturday and sundays to so either window shopping or kung ano pa pwede makita sa seoul)
Day 8 Seoraksan national park
Day 9 Garden of the morning calm (spring festival)
Day 10 Hongdae then 7:35pm flight to Manila

Super laid-back travel gusto ni hubby. Napagod siya at ako nung mala amazing race kami sa Japan.

Sa sinchon meron murang nga coat? Gusto ko sanang sa Korea na bumili ng coat na gagamitin ko for this trip. Dadala na lang ako isa.

April 9 to 19 pala kami. Thank you.

Sis, I use this site to compute fares:
https://www.smrt.co.kr/program/cyberStation/main2.jsp?lang=e

You might want to check out Teseum/Teddy Bear Museum, near lang sya. I liked it kasi hindi tinipid yung museum plus the Mirror Maze is fun. As for coats, dami ko nakita pretty and mura sa Migliore (Dongdaemun History and Culture Park) pero baka mas mura sa Ehwa.

[missreese]

Kaloka yung mobile app ni Jeju air... haha. malas di kami nakakuha ng 15USD.. mahal na yung mga ibang sale.

[Eggpudding]

kaya nga e. nakaligtaan ko yun. sayang! nag DL pa naman ako in advance, tapos nakalimutan ko sa mismong araw. lols! konti nalang naabutan ko. tapos nag loko pa. Oct 27-Nov4 nasa 15usd each pa. Nung nag try kami ulit, ayun ubos na. lols!

[blackgreen]

^^^thank you sis. Itry ko yan website. Natapos ko na yun itinerary namin.

Day 1 - Gyeongbokgung palace, national folk museum and hanok village ETA Incheon 4:50am iwan luggage sa guesthouse then pasyal na, uwi na lang maaga para makapagpahinga
Day 2 - Jeju (ripley's museum, jusangjeolli cliff, jeongbang falls, chenjiyeon falls) plan ETA namin sa jeju 8am. Kaya diy or car hire? Sabi sa googlemaps 5:30am meron na train since 6:50am plan ETD namin sa gimpo airport mas advisable kaya na taxi kesa train?
Day 3 - Jeju (seopjikoji lighthouse, seongsan ilchulbong peak, manjanggul cave and gimnyeong maze park) eto i think car hire kami para umabot kami sa plan ETD namin na 9pm
Day 4 - DMZ and JSA tours
Day 5 - Nami island, Petite France and Garden of the morning calm. Mag avail kami nung city bus tour para mapuntahan namin 3 spots in 1 day
Day 6 - Korean folk village and N Seoul tower
Day 7 - War memorial, ehwa university, sinchon
Day 8 - Hwaseong fortress and lotte mart
Day 9 - Cheongyeocheon stream, cheonggye plaza and myeongdong
Day 10 - hongdae tapos ETD 7:35PM incheon

Okay na kaya sis yun itinerary namin? Or meron mas efficient na pagsamahin? Ayaw na kasi namin yun amazing race. Chill na lang sana.

Saan ko kaya pwede isingit yun coffee shop na filming location ng descendants? tee hee!..

Parang gusto ko din yun isang palace yun changdeokgung, pero kaya ko pa ba isingit? Or may i-give up ako sa itinerary ko sa taas?

Yung dongdaemun market saan ko ulit pwede isingit?

Salamat mga sis 😀

[sophistique]

^ Pwede sis sa Day 9 or 10 yung Dongdaemun/Dongdaemun History &Culture Park kasi malapit na lang sya sa Myeongdong or Hongdae.

We did Gyeongbokgung, Bukchon Hanok, and Changdeokgung in a day though mahaba-habang lakaran from Gyeongbokgung to Changdeokgung (or feeling ko lang kasi summer nun ).

Tapos I'm not so sure about the DOTS coffee shop. For our recent winter trip, jan talaga ako pinakanaexcite kaso nung pina-plot ko na yung directions, hala, almost 2 hours sya from Seoul kaya I had to give it up. You can allot a day for it na lang siguro tapos sa gabi na lang mag-shop sa Myeongdong and Dongdaemun since late magsara mga stores dito. Migliore, for example, is open until 4:30 a.m.

[mariz11]

sis there are 3 Dal.komm coffee shops na pinag-shootingan nila:

http://blog.funtastickorea.com/filming-sites-of-descendants-of-the-sun-2/

Name : Dalkom Coffee @ Songdo (break up scene)
Address : 23-5 Songdo 2(i)-dong, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, South Korea

Name : Dalkom Coffee @ Yangjae (kay seargeant and lieutenant na scene naman. sorry kay sjk at shk lang tanda kong name hahaha! jin goo at kim ji won?)
Address : 67-7 Yangjae 1(il)-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea

Name : Dalkom Coffee @ Bundang (1st episode where they played in Lee gwang suk's (sjk's bff in real life) arcade ek-ek)
Address : 162-4 Jeongja-dong, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea

The one we went to was at Song-do kasi originally we want to go where the Song triplets live. E kataon dun din pala yung break up scene sa DOTS so mapalad na napasama sa itinerary. Though yeah 2 hrs by subway nga kaloka haha! Check mo na lang kung ano yung location na malapit-lapit. Medyo mahirap mag-search sa google map kasi may nabasa ako na di updated ang google map ng korea (http://www.wsj.com/articles/south-korea-blocks-google-from-expanding-local-maps-1479441204) so read blogs na lang. Madami namang nagpunta dun e hihi! good luck!

[katniss]

[Eggpudding]
