    Thanks

  20. hi ms karla, where is the best place to exchange korean currency? can we buy sim card or rent a pocket wi fi or much cheaper if will have a phil roaming sim? thanks for your help

    1. I think that would by Myeongdong. There are lots of currency exchange, I suggest you bring USD instead of PhP. You can buy a sim card or rent a pocket wifi in the airport (if you have a credit card).
      Some people say that their roaming sim takes time to work here and it’s not efficient.

    1. Is Dalkom Guest House a good place to stay in?
    2. I was thinking of getting an arranged tour for Korea, but my friend said that there’s hop on, hop off bus (like in Paris) going around to various tourist spots in seoul. Would you recommend this?
    3. I very much want to go to Nami island. How do we get there from Seoul?

    Thank you so much! 🙂

      1. Thank you for the reply! 🙂

        I am really amazed at your patience in answering all the queries, especially
        that some of them become repetitive. I hope you realize how much help this blog is, especially for those of us who need guidance in our much-awaited Korea adventure. 🙂

        I hope I can meet you there (oct 31-nov 5) please let me know if you will be available. And if there’s anything i can get from here (sans mallet lang at would fit in my backpack) do let me know too! 🙂

      1. nope. the weather there. or is there some place having a winter while in the other part of the place is autumn? or is it general ung weather nila jan pag winter, winter lahat ng lugar?

  36. Hello Karla! Sheryl here, a Filipina working in Dubai! I am inspired by your travels in South Korea. I plan to visit South Korea someday and this will be of great help coming from another Filipina’s point of view. Thank you for sharing and I hope to see you there when I come for a visit! Kamsahmnida! ( i hope that’s correct!) ??

      1. Wow! That’s great!! I plan to go there in July 2017. In time for my annual leave. I wish to see the locations in the drama MDBC. I hope the flowers will still be there that time.

I am still coming up with an itinerary and still researching. And I am including your suggestions here also in your blog. Thanks in advance Karla! Kamsahamnida!
