Mostly I and my hubby is a complete opposite. I'm more on a fast paced walker, siya naman slow. Mas more niyang ninanamnam ang lugar to take pictures, whereas ako naman madali mabored especially sa mga temples,palace,parks etc. Mas gusto ko yung city vibe.
Please if you have suggestions/comments sa itinerary ko or where to eat feel free to do so. Sana talaga full bloom ang mga Cherry Blossoms
para sulit yung airfare biglaan lang po kase itong trip kaya hindi napaghandaan. Thank you!

^You might want to add the following on day 1

Samcheongdong Cafe Culture Street
Insadong

within the area kasi sya. you may move myeongdong cathedral and nanta show to another day and add a visit to dongdaemun (dongdaemun design plaza and shopping); also add ihwa mural village and naksan park to see fortress wall with city lights. so ganito pagkakasunod sunod nya:

myeongdong cathedral
ihwa mural village
naksan park and seoul fortress wall
nanta cooking show
dongdaemun design plaza


On a Saturday, Hongdae is a must visit! Kaso ang dami na ng tao lately kasi naging tourist spot na rin sya lalo na pag hapon. You might also want to add Ehwa Women's University (or Edae) pati yung shopping streets nila if you are into shopping.

Add mo rin: Seoul Sky Garden (if open na by then)

^^sis babyjham sabay tayong nasa korea sa holy week april 10 to 19 naman kami. Saturday namin sis korean folk village and namsan tower. Sunday naman war memorial tsaka ehwa university. Friday and tuesday natin may mga common tayong places. Chillax trip lang kami ni hubby. Thursday namin balak mag DMZ.

[shabby]

Hi mga sis! Natuloy ang Korea trip namin ni hubby at baby last week. Thank you sa inyo mga sis na nagbigay ng answers or inputs na malaking tulong sa akin! -4 ang temp. Di nasunod ang itinerary namin at ito lang mga napuntahan namin: Myeongdong Cathedral, Myeongdong, Ehwa Women's University, Dongdaemun Design Plaza, COEX Mall, Gangnam Station at Changdeokgung Palace. Maganda yung pinagstayan namin na AirBnb apartment. Malapit lang sa Changdeokgung Palace at Anguk station.

Di ako masyadong nakapag-shopping dahil kasama si baby. 10+1 lang nabili ko sa socks. 10K won ang mga usual na damit sa Gangnam station and Ehwa pero meron din 5k won. Napuntahan ko yung Baviphat na nirecommend dito. Gaganda ng mga pang-winter nila pero di na ko bumili kasi dagdag sa baggage. Enjoy pa rin kahit limited lang nagawa namin dahil nga kay baby. Mababait mga Koreans. Lakas ng wifi grabe. Masarap yung odeng na street food. Tteokbokki di ko masyadong gusto.

Sa BDO ako nakapag-exchange direct to won. Dami nga sobra e. Sana makabalik agad. Ang ganda dun!

[katniss]

Hi sis! Pwede pashare nung airbnb apartment mo?

Thanks!

[nageinna]

we just got our visa for our march 2017 travel. second time na namin ngayon and so happy that we are granted 5years multiple. excited to be back

[shabby]

Hi sis katniss, nagsend na ako ng pm. :-)

[katniss]

^got it sis! salamat

[imnuttz]

Hi mga sis!

Im an ofw, plan ko dyan nalang apply ng visa since isasama ko si daughter. So, I don't have an ITR as one of the requirements. Pano kaya yun mga sis, okay lang ba yun?

[katniss]

^yep! you can submit your OEC in lieu of your ITR.

that's what my cousin did. she also submitted btw her BPI bank account cert and statement here, and her bank account, which is a payroll account, abroad.

sobrang nervous nya dahil wala syang ITR pero ayun nga pwede yung OEC.

[imnuttz]

^ayy salamat sis, yun nga OEC pala.

Ngayon palang ako mag bobook for May 2017 travel, wala na ako makita mura ticket. Late ko na din kase napag desisyunan na go go na kame talaga.

Anyway, ok lang yun. Sabi nga nila,, invest on experiences not on things hahaha

[blackgreen]

Nagrequest na ako COE sa office. Okay lang kaya na dated a week prior pa yun application ko ng visa sa embassy? Plan ko kasi mag apply march 1 pa. Eh worry ko baka today maging date ng COE ko.

[mariz11]

^ok lang yun sis. fresh pa rin naman yan. ang mahalaga are the deets ng office na required ni korya embassy. mine was 2wks before date of applic yata ang COE.

[Cari]

Thanks sis mariz11 and katniss,

Oks naman ang subway experience. Natutunan ko dun yung app na Subway Korea!!! hehe!

[katniss]

^good to hear that sis!

SO EXCITED FOR THIS: https://www.instagram.com/p/BQ1jUL2B_4F/

New hotspot in Seoul opening this May 2017

Pwede nyo nang i-add sa mga itinerary nyo )

At kelan pa nagka-LED roses na rin sa may Myeongdong Cathedral? Waaa gusto ko na hilahin November para makabalik na ng Seoul

[blackgreen]

Thanks sis mariz11. Another question yun sa picture, sabi 1 passport size. Pwede bang naka eyeglass? Or hubarin ko na lang pag nagpapicture? Sa passport kasi diba bawal. Yun sa japan visa ko kasi dati naka contact lens ako nung nagpapicture ako.

[mariz11]

I removed everything para wala na akong sabit, glasses and earrings. Siguro nakasanayan ko na lang din ahehe. Sa size ang sinabi yata namin is passport size yung pang-korean visa.

[b3autyandthebeach]

Sis blackgreen, bawal may eyeglasses. You shouldn't have anything covering your face, pati bangs nga ayaw nila nakatakip sa eyebrows.

Just wanted to share that like sis nageinna, I just got approved for multiple entry visa to Korea! Super saya ko when I found out, I bought tickets na kasi and even made an itinerary na haha. It's going to be my first time there! I wrote a detailed post about my application on my blog sa signature, pati step by step guide baka lang makatulong

Question po... we have a confirmed tickets na to korea on july. Ok lang ba kahit as early as march magapply na kami ng visa since we are planning to apply using yung promo ni bpi naman or better apply at least 3mos before our flight na lang?

Much better kung mas maaga. Nasa visa application naman din kung kelan ang preferred etd niyo. so dun nila ibbase kung kelan nila i-ddate yung visa niyo.
