Question uli mga sis.. Yung son ko kasi 4 yrs old na by the time mag Korea kami so may bayad na sya sa theme parks.  ;D Tanong ko lang kung anong mas ok -- everland or lotte world? Balak ko isa lang puntahan since di pa naman sya mahilig sa rides, ako rin hindi. Thank you.

Hi sis, hindi pa ko nakapag SoKor (pupunta pa lang pag na approve ang visa :)) )pero based sa nabasa ko if bet nyo yung mga thrill rides, Everland ka.  If pambata talaga Lotte ka.  Pareho tayo 4 year old na ang LO, sadly may bayad na sila.  Child rate na sila for kids 36 months-12 years of age.

^Sis malamig na ang Nov. Sabi ng sis ko Nov this year nagstart na magsnow sa SoKor (sa mga mountain areas Oct may snowfall na). Sa Everland lang kami nakapunta and maganda siya, themepark and zoo in one. Well maintained ang zoo and walang kakaibang amoy pero pagtaglamig yung ibang animals nila hindi viewable for public. Tinatago nila dahil sa weather or baka nagha-hibernate para di maistorbo. Saka kapag super malamig wala ka matatambayan unless papasok ka sa mga resto or other establishemnt. If may kasama kang bata at malamig ang weather suggest ko Lotteworld nalang since may indoor rides sila unlike sa Everland na puro outdoors baka di magenjoy ang bata dahil sa lamig. Check ka sa youtube ng indoor videos ng Lotteworld malaki ang loob niya. Pero kung feeling mo di naman super lamig at kakayanin ng bagets go ka na din sa Everland. Not sure kung gaano kataas ang 4yr old mo pero yung pamangkin ko na 4yrs old dami rides na di pa siya pwede sa Everland, naiiwan sila ng dad ko sa labas kasi si dad ko may hypertension naman.

^^Thank you sis. :) In that case, mag LOTTE nalang nga kami since di rin ako mahilig sa thrill rides. Sabi lang sa kabilang forum, dami photo op daw sa everland, hehe. Pero based kasi sa mga nabasa ko dito, malamig na ang punta namin, possible din ata autumn at winter maabutan namin.. Kelan punta nyo sis? November 21-27 pa kami. Nakabili ko ng 1-way ticket nung nag sale ang cebu pac. Excited lang ako talaga kasi dati ko pa gusto makapag Korea. :) KDrama fan here, LOL.

Would anyone know if distilled water is widely available in SoKor? Nung nag Japan kami wala talaga akong nahanap, kaya ang laki ng kinaing baggage allowance nung distilled water ni LO.

Hi mga sis. Tanong ko lang yung mga nakapag sponsor ng trip ng parents nila, possible naman ito diba? Nalito lang ako sa requirements kasi ng embassy, kailangan COE ng husband. Anong sinubmit nyo in lieu of COE? Pwede naman siguro gumawa ng cover letter? Tia!

^ Pwede guarantee parents gawa ka lang ng Guarantee Letter. Saan agency ka magpapasa ng application mo?  UHI (Dusit Hotel) agency sent me a Guarantee Letter Template nung naginquire ako ng requirements. Sa Reli kami nagpasa ng application kasi hindi na kaya accomodate ng UHI pero Guarantee Letter pa din then include Birth Certificate as proof of relationship. If Senior Citizen na parents mo isama na ang front and back Senior Citizen ID copy. I followed the agency's requirements although upon filing ng applications sa agency may pre-check naman sila.

Distilled water parang wala ako napansin unless meron sa Pharmacy. Ang nabili ko kasi either Spring or Mineral at yung kilala ko is Evian haha!  ;D Safe to say bring na lang for your LO.

Step Inn Myeongdong. A few steps away lang from Myeongdong Cathedral. Parang in the middle of Myeongdong siya nakapwesto.

Natanong ko to sa sister ko, sabi niya dun daw sa kanila (provincial area) wala daw distilled water na naka-bottle or per gallon. Tinanong niya husband niya, meron daw yung naka-vial or tube na maliliit kasi gamot daw ang distilled water, yun ginagamit pampatak sa mata. Hahaha. Tapos sabi ng SIL niya na nurse meron daw sila pasyente before na nirequire na distilled water inumin, so may nabibili sa pharmacy para inumin pero need daw ng prescription.

^^Oo sis magdala ka nalang. Shocked na shocked daw family ng hubby niya na dito iniinom yun at nabibili lang everywhere.
 
Out of curiousity nagresearch ako sa tripadvisor. May short discussion pala regarding dito. Mukhang di nga widely available sa SoKor ang distilled water.

For our first visa, we were granted 3-yr ME. It's expiring on December 2020.
We travelled twice to SK in the last 2 years. Going back in October for our 3rd visit (planning to go to Busan area na).

We're planning to-reapply again, aiming for a 5-year ME. I understand that case-to-case basis ang visa granting. I'd like to check lang if may nakaexperience na ba sa inyo na ME pa rin ang nagrant for your next visa application?

Sa mga nakapunta na sa Nami Island, would you recommend booking it via Klook or a travel tour or DIY na lang?

My sister ( student ) and I ( homebased freelancer), were approved of our SoKor Visa last year. I have only sent my bank statement, letter to embassy, and my sister submitted our dad's financial statement and work papers and her school certification. We're lucky, we don't need to go through agencies here in Cebu ,walk in lang and there are not so many applicants. :)

Hindi advisable sis na mag DIY kase ang daming sakay.  Malayo kase yung Nami Island.  We were there last week, since kasagsagan ng virus scare, we did not take the Klook option kase may chances na depende sa dami ng participants, pwede sya maging bus tour.  So we decided to book a private tour naka Starex van sya kahit 3 lang kame.  The rate is the same kung madami kayo or konti kase per vehicle ang charge not per person.  We took this option to minimize exposure sa mga high risk tourists since may bata kame kasama.
