been to seoul some time ago and hoping my info will help. myeongdong is the place to be if you are a shopper. the cosmetics stores are way way more awesome than what we have here. that is coming from a guy who has zero idea on make up. upon entering the stores, the staff will greet you with free stuff. you don't have to be lucky to get more free stuff when you check out. if you accumulated 2 bags of goodies, expect to leave with 2 bags more. had the exact same experience at all the stores I went to. I get free shirts, free eco bags, free whatevers. and do not forget to ask for the tax refund forms. seoul is actually very forgiving of its tourists.

 

there are lots of backpackers and hostels to choose from in the area. we stayed at the zaza backpackers. very friendly staff and they stay up to midnight. looks like the norm. very informative as well.

 

at the bus stop, take bus #5 for a 15-minute ride to the n-tower. awesome place. you can do the padlock thing if you are into that. if you have a partner that is crazy for k-dramas, you can do the exodus to the KINTEX. they had the condo set of my love from the stars when we went there. no idea what they are running now.

Kung habol mo sa Korea mga beauty products better go to Myeongdong. If gusto mo naman ng mga mura na damit, tianggian, pasalubong, sapatos go to Dongdaemun (lalo na pag gabi hangan madaling araw kasi naglalabasan na mga tianggian), mas maganda kung sa dongdaemun ka nakacheck-in kasi malapit siya sa Seoul City Bus Tour, Lotte Mall, APM Mall, Design Plaza, Tianggian na hangan 4am, Grilled Fish Street at maraming mall at accessible sa public transportation. Kung habol mo naman yun mga place sa korean drama better go to Nami Island then madadaanan mo along the way yun Petite France kaso mga 1 hour travel siya kung galing ka Seoul. Tips para makatipid ka sa Korea trip mo, mas makakatipid ka kung gagamitin mo na transportation ay yun Seoul City Bus Tour, kasi 1 day pass yun ticket then dadaanan nyo pa mga tourist spot dun like Gyeongbokgung Palace, Myeondong, Dongdaemun, Namdaemun Market at iba pa (take note mo lang mga time na darating sa stopover yun bus).

 

Pag gusto mo naman mag Lotte World better na ilaan mo 1 day ng tour mo or sa umaga hangan hapon kasi nasa New City siya aka Gangnam District, then wag ka pupunta ng weekends, holiday at walang pasok ang schools kasi ang mga rides hangan 1 hour waiting time bago makasakay. At wag kakalimutan pumunta ng N Seoul Tower either by cable car or lakad mode.

 

At lastly pagbibili ka ng like relos, mamahalin na bag at iba pa sa Duty Free ay makukuha mo lang yun items mo sa airport na, kasi may ibibigay sayo na claim form at receipt para makuha mo siya sa airport baka daw kasi ibenta mo sa korean people yun item mo. At wag umasa na makakabili ka ng gadgets like phones, tablets at any laruan sa South Korea (hindi mo magagamit phones nila sa pilipinas at hindi sila mahilig sa laruan sa south korea).

 

If may question kayo paano makakuha at ginawa namin paraan para sa visa pm or just reply na lang po kayo.

Suggestion ko magresearch about korea before visiting. I prefer diy since transportation system is quite efficient and a cheaper option.

Never leave seoul without buying korean beauty products in myeongdong, so cheap and lots of freebies compared to buying it in other countries. Snowboarding is great but not a must coz u can also do it in other places like japan, china, and europe. I also prefer to do Skiing and snowboarding in japan.
