Korea (Thread 12)

[Lilacs]

^^  sis, reason given is failed to qualify to the visa category you applied for.

yung isang sister ko is a uni student. yung isa unemployed/unmarried with 2 kids. 
they are suppose to travel with me for 5d6n and i will be the financier/sponsor of  trip.
I provided most of my docs in lieu of the husband/parent requirements.
and did try to cover most of the bases din, in the end they were still denied, even the student one.

it was disheartening ayaw ko naman  masira travel bonding plans,  sa sobrang disappointment ko, i got them travel cert for Taiwan and immediately booked them return tix to Taipei.

^^yung release date ba sis dapat kunin mo talaga on that date? what if di kami sabay sabay? ok lang ako kumuha?

[sophistique]

^ Okay lang kahit hindi mo sya kunin sa mismong release date as long as makuha yung passport within a month from the stated release date (nabasa ko lang sa window din). Like yung samin nun, 18th yung release nung sa akin, 20th naman yung sa mga companions ko without OECD visas.  27th ko na nakuha lahat sabay-sabay.

Hello question lang sa may multiple entries na visa dito or kung sino may alam hehe, what is the maximum number of days you can stay in  Korea? Thanks!

[katniss]

^30 days sis

[shygirlme]

^^Thank you sis!

Ano pa ba magandang puntahan? hindi kami mahilig sa palace and temples. so far eto nasa list;

Nami Island
Everland

Ayan palang. Ano ba pwede iadd? Thanks!

[sophistique]

^You can combine Nami Island with Petite France. Teddy Bear Museum/Teseum is nice too, nasa city lang sya. If you're into shopping, Ehwa University is a great place for clothes then picture-worthy din yung university. May mga exhibits din minsan sa Dongdaemun Design Plaza then mga shopping centers na open hanggang madaling araw.

Hi! Anyone here know where I can get a ticket discount at Lotte World? Ang mahal na pala kase ngayon. Sa Funko, okay sana kaso non refundable & change date not allowed. Yun voucherkorea.com naman mas mataas ng konti yung price pero wala ka naman babayaran sa kanila. Free download lang ng coupon kaso wala pa akong nabasang naka try na nito. I'm worried baka hindi i-honor ang coupon.

Makiki hingi na rin ng feedback sa Half-day DMZ Tour. Pinagpipilian ko yun Kooridor or Cosmojin. Which can you recommend na mas maganda between the 2 tour providers?

Thank you.

You can try Klook. It's where I purchased our Lotte World tickets late last year. Hindi lang ako sure if it is open-dated.

Hi sisses! Pinagiisipan ko yun itinerary namin. What if 7d seoul 3d jeju na lang kami? Mas makakatipid kasi kami kung hindi na kami mag car hire sa jeju. Ang mahal kasi.

[MIGSmom]

Hi! May aabutan pa kayang cherry blossom kahit konti sa April 16 (either Yeouido park or lake seokchon)? Thanks.

[aranses]

@blackgreen mas makakatipid kung mag rent ka ng car sa Jeju. Ganun ginawa namin dati, mas flexible pa time. Mura lang rent ng car doon around 2k pesos per day tapos gasoline baka 600 per day. 

[blackgreen]

^kayo nagdrive sis? Di kasi kami marunong magdrive.

[luvko23]

@sis migsmom, not sure for this year if meron pa by Apil 16. But last year we went same dates wala ng cherry blossom on both places.

[aranses]

@blackgreen yep kami mag asawa nagsalitan mag drive. sayang kung may marunong sana mag drive sa inyo mas mura pag nag rent. Try mo contact si Mr Han, siya driver ng friend ko nun nagpunta sila sa Jeju last October nasa KRW 130,000 per day bayad nila.
