For the second time, I visited South Korea and this time as a solo traveler. I booked my plane ticket a month ago and it costs me around 8500 pesos– back and forth – Manila – Seoul – Manila, June 10, 2011 to June 13, 2011. My reason? I panicked when I saw that Lee Ji Hoon has a musical show called Won Hyo, I am dying to see him in person and watching him perform LIVE, so I grabbed this opportunity. To make this a perfect vacation, I will be going to JEJU Island as well. DAY 1 (Seoul, South Korea) Okay! To start it out, June 09, 2011, I went early to NAIA Terminal 3 for my 1:30 am flight. Few minutes before landing to Incheon International Airport, I was rushing to fill up the immigration paper. When we arrived at airport, I easily passed the immigration. I purchased a bus ticket heading Myeondong and get off at Ibusiness Hotel, from there, I walked till I reached Seoul Backpackers. I got my reservation and just changed clothes. The first place I visited is the ‘Seoul World Cup Stadium’. At world cup stadium, there are also IMAX and mountains […]

Stumble upon Bae Yong Jun or Jang Guen Suek while walking on The Street? but you don’t have enough budget to spend? well, I hope my experience would help you in getting to South Korea on a Budget travel – Do IT Yourself. XD It was around January when I purchased my plane ticket to Korea, thanks to Cebupacificair, it’s cheaper than the original price. Considering I don’t have visa yet, and I have never been to other country (I was so nervous that time), I only have my passport! When I went back to Korean Embassy to get the result, I was so nervous!!! I can’t ever start planning my itinerary, since it would be a waste if my Visa will be denied. God is on my side, it was APPROVED! Even other applicants are laughing at me On that day, I started doing my Itinerary. I actually tried to find a cheaper tourist package, since I don’t know anything in Korea, I don’t want to waste time, I wanted to visit many places […]
