seoul city, south korea part 2

[barbiesunrise]

Marunong ba yung mga koreans na mag english?

I'm planning to travel to korea sa future, pero, baka walang maka initidi sa kin dun.

yung iba lalo na yung nasa Seoul. Usually ngtatanong ako sa mga naka-office attire kasi sa tingin ko marunong sila english. Pero kung hindi sila marunong either they dont entertain you or kung makaintindi ng konti kahit paano they will make efforts to help you. SObra mabait at matulungin sila. Ang ayaw ko lang talaga yung iba minsan sinasadyang bungguin ka lalo na sa Subway

help again please, last april i visited seoul and stayed in dongdaemun area, this october naman i'm planning to choose between ib ville and namsan3 (elevators and window sa room meron ba?), malapit lang ba talaga sa shopping areas like h&m and zara? like how many minutes, and may mga taxi ba around the area and if i use the airport bus to the hotel is it easy to find?

yes, we also spent around 20+k each for 6 days. with, airfare, accomodation and jeju na.

In our case, 6 full days we spent Php 18,000 only but excluding shopping and airfare. We stayed in a decent hostel - Zaza Backpackers Hostel which is also in a strategic location (near Myeongdong and subway station).

Haha I can definitely relate to this one!

Magugulat ka yung mga elders/seniors pa dun ang mahilig mang-sangga or manulak sa subway!

Spent about 14k excluding airfare and shopping for 6 full days. No everland/lotte/dmz/ski resort but with Nami. Visited 2 palaces, trick eye museum, namsan tower and teady bear museum. Used the train, bus and feet as modes of transpo.

ITI Summary



Can't wait to go back! Sana mura na Yeosu pagkatapos ng Expo. Parang ang ganda kasi!


Next destination sana sa Busan-Jeju na.

BTW, guys my nakapunta na ba ng Rose garden?
http://grandpark.seoul.go.kr/Eng/htm.../0305_rose.jsp

Punta kasi mga ofismates ko dis June, gawin nilang 1st stop to. Worth it ba cia or sa Everland na lang kasi Rose Festival ngayong June?

[sergerulez]

lahat ba ng nandito mga magbabakasyon lang sa Korea? sino dito yong mga nagtratrabaho sa Korea?

[walk810]

Grabe! Magastos mag-Yeosu! Foodtrip ginawa namin ni hubby, sarap ng turkish kebab. Halos lahat ng international pav may resto pero super mahal. Pero ganda ng expo lalo na un Big-O! Enjoy kami ni hubby sa germany pavillion very informative. Dito na kami sa seoul medyo mainit na..

OT: mas malaki ang Shanghai Expo kesa sa yeosu pero halos lahat ng pavillion natapos naminin 2 days unlike sa Shanghai Expo konti lang napasok namin in 3 days!

korek! ang laki-laki ng kalye all of a sudden sa yo sila tatama. mapapa-anuveh ka na lang. haha.

Anyway, galing kami sa Busan ngayon. Sa Big Apple Motel kami ngstay for 3 nights as suggested here at pex. The family room is big. We are 5 adults with 3 kids. Malapit nmn siya sa beach area but a long walk sa Haundae. Most of the Motels are situated in that area. Yung receptionist as in hindi marunong mag-english. We expected na may common area dun for microwave and dinning area as posted sa website nila pero wala nmn kaming nakitang ganun.

Sobra lamig pero kinaya ko ang ref cold water ng dagat sa Haundae. hehe!

Nakapunta din ako sa Oedo..... Panalo!!!!

Halos same lang tayo ng napuntahan. basta less than 30k each including airfare and shopping for 6 days. We went to DMZ though na tingin ko isa sa nagpamahal. Also went to Nami, 1 palace, trick eye, n seoul tower + teddy bear museum with train, bus and feet as transpo too. Sa jeju 5 attractions lang napuntahan namen, kaso nag taxi kame twice dahil di namin alam sasakyan na bus pabalik.

Anyone who's currently in Seoul now? How is the weather there? Specifically the temperature, is it Manila, Tagaytay or Baguio-like? Sometimes kasi the temperatures from weather websites aren't as accurate from the "feels like" temperature. Just wanna kasi we're going to Seoul via JejuAir this Friday. Salamat po!
