Mga sis, saan okay mag-stay sa Korea? Yun value for money lang sana.. hindi mahal hindi rin cheap.

^try mock booking at booking.com or agoda para you can set your budget and choose your location. but mostly people stay at hongdae,edae, sinchon(univ areas) or at myeongdong.

Got my Bdo Jcb gold cc na, ang bilis lang pala. Nadelay lang delivery dahil unlocated yung 1st attempt. May isang card pa ako na hinihintay. Wait ko muna bago ko iactivate itong isang card. Check ko alin mas mataas credit limit or if same lang. Crossing my fingers na sana maapproved visa application ko. July kami mag-aapply.

^thanks a lot sis.. punta ako today dun and sa ehwa

Ako din pumunta sa Dongdaemun, Ehwa, Gangnam Underground Shopping Center to look for a trench coat. Yan na kase suot nila when I was there two weeks ago. Wala akong nabili.

Parang wala na rin masyadong winter clothes like padded/down jackets or wool coats akong nakita. But kung pupunta rin naman to these places for sight seeing, okay na rin to look around and make the shopping areas a side trip na rin.

@mysterioza_me
Wow sis galing naman! Do you have existing CC with other banks? How did you apply? Online ba or sa branch? Kailan punta nyo sis?

mysterioza_me · « **Reply #169 on:** April 16, 2018, 07:11:50 pm »

^I dont have an existing cc pero may 2 accounts ako sa bdo. Di ako nag-apply, basta may tumawag lang sa akin from bdo nagaalok ng cc and di ako pinagsubmit ng requirement (pinaverify lang ata sss and tin# ko) Nung sinabi na gold card ang offer nag-go na ako bakasakaling maging helpful for my visa application. 3 weeks lang kung tutuusin ang process including delivery (kaso nagkadelay sa delivery). Sa Aug kami pupunta ng Sokor.

Thank you sa reply sis.

Nag-try na ako, pati nga airbnb eh kaso di ko kasi sure anong okay dun. Hehe. Hongdae nga at Myeongdong yun nakita kong okay mag-stay ayon sa mga forum at travel blog na nabasa ko.

ataypool · « **Reply #172 on:** April 17, 2018, 09:33:25 am »

^kung mid-priced hotels, Dongdaemun area is good. Try mo ang Hotel Skypark chain of hotels, they have branches in Dongdaemun and Myeongdong.

katniss · « **Reply #173 on:** April 17, 2018, 10:47:15 am »

never tried airbnb sa Korea. medyo pricey for me as compared to Japan! hehe. saka siguro rin laging dalawa lang kami nagtratravel so baka mas mura pag group. anyway, medyo hirap lang sa airbnb kapag hindi pumapayag paiwan luggage, so need pa mag-coin lockers. kelangan din pala ito iconsider sa gastos haha. kasi pag hostel diba usually pumapayag sila paiwan luggage mo kapag check out ka na, then gala ka muna, tapos pwede mo balikan.

Sa Yongsan kami nagstay, airbnb. Dapat kasi 3 kami pero hindi naapprove visa ng isa naming kasama. Kung dalawa lang kayo mas maganda pag hotel, maganda lang airbnb pag 3 above.

sisses, mas ok ba ang peso to won o dapat dollar to won talaga?

mysterioza_me · « **Reply #176 on:** April 18, 2018, 06:13:50 pm »

^Sabi ng sis ko mas ok daw usd to won.

milkeeway · « **Reply #177 on:** April 19, 2018, 09:56:55 am »

^saan sila nagpapalit sis?

mysterioza_me · « **Reply #178 on:** April 19, 2018, 10:09:43 am »

^Sa Korea naka-base ang sister ko. Ako yung usd ko galing sa bf ko. Pinapalitan ko yung usd niya ng peso tulad din ng published exchange rate, mas mahal kasi if bibili ako sa mga money exchange or sa bank.

katniss · « **Reply #179 on:** April 19, 2018, 10:47:23 am »

the last time we went there, around November better nga rin na buy USD here then exchange to won there.

you also have to compute which would give you better rates
