We found out that Super Junior will be one of the performers of Busan One Festival a week before our flight but we couldn't purchase tickets online. However, on the day before the event, we saw a post that they'd be selling concerts tickets on site. Despite the lack of sleep and tiredness from all the travels the day before (Manila - Seoul - Jeonju - Seoul - Busan), we woke up early to get to Hwamyeong.

Parang Lee Min Ho memories lang 'to last winter eh. Only fangirls would understand.:))

Hwamyeong Ecological Park

There is no train station near it so we had to ride a bus then walk for around 20 minutes to get to this entrance but it turned out that the park was too big that we needed to walk for another 30 minutes to get to the concert grounds. 

Hwamyeong is a lot like Daejeo Ecological Park that I visited last year for pink muhly hunting.. only Hwamyeong from the bus station to the concert grounds wasn't an enjoyable walk 'cause we were rushing and were too stressed to focus on the beauty of the surroundings. lol.

East & West Busan Exploration with Busan Skywalks, Gamcheon Culture Village, and Haedong Yonggungsa Temple Day Tour




We got our tickets at around 12 NN. We finally became a lot calmer with tickets on our hand. lol. Like what I've said in the previous post, I don't have a group that I "stan" but I like watching KPOP concerts whenever I am in Korea. And since my friend is an ELF, damay damay na lang. :))

Hwamyeong Ecological Park, Busan

Photos here are just those I took while we were killing time 'cause we decided to stay in the area the whole afternoon because going out the park is a loooooot of walk. 

Hwamyeong Ecological Park, Busan

It was only this afternoon did we noticed that it was actually fun to walk around the park. HAHA! Sorry for all the complaints that morning, Hwamyeong. :))


These photos were taken around the concert area but there should be a lot more to see since this park is humongous. 


Feel na feel ang hair flip 'cause this is the last travel where I'll be sporting a rebonded hair. haha! I am currenly exploring the world of CGM (curly girl method) but that's for another post - hopefully by New Year.



Hwamyeong Ecological Park, Busan

Bike lanes everywhere for this park. 

Hwamyeong Ecological Park, Busan

Still wasn't able to time the peak of autumn for the year 2019. My Korean visa will only be until January 2021. Let's see if I'll be able to go back and time the perfect view of the autumn foliage. 
Hwamyeong Ecological Park, Busan

This was already near the place where concert goers were linking up and so we queued soon after. 

Even the autumn flowers weren't in full bloom yet.

Hwamyeong Ecological Park, Busan BOF

But yea, it's always my pleasure to see you, Busan! <3

Super Show 8 in Manila this December??? Nauna na ko manood sa Busan last October. Charot lang. Nagkataon lang 'to. Hahaha!

Busan One Asia Festival 2019

I was in Busan the other month and fortunately, it was the day of the Busan One Asia Festival. This is an annual affair so you can look forward to attending this concert next year if you have plans of going to Busan. 

Busan One Asia Festival 2019

While I don't have a Kpop group that I "stan," my friend is a Suju Fan and so we attended the concert since Super Junior is one of the performers. Also, I was looking forward to seeing Cha Eun Woo of Astro in person but he wasn't there. Hays.

Busan One Asia Festival 2019

We bought the 50,000 KRW (Around 2,500 php) and we were in the front row. I love attending Kpop concerts in Korea even if I don't know all the groups/singers especially since it's not too expensive to watch concerts with different performers there.


I heard that there will be a Super Show 8 Manila in December. 
Super Show 5 link: here.


I've seen SuJu perform live for a lot of times now and I only thought about it now but I was always in front during the times I've watched them. This is kilig especially since I read a post I that I wrote in 2012 and I was so happy to see them (Donghae and Siwon) live in Trinoma Activity Center. Hehehe.  We were also able to watch a concert last winter in Pyeongchang, South Korea and Eunhyuk and Donghae were there as well. 


Siguro nga naging loyal lang ako masyado kay Park Seo Joon kaya nalimutan ko na ibang oppa. NYAHAHAHA!

Busan One Asia Festival 2019

We were at the front row (red), second to the left group. 

Busan One Asia Festival 2019

We took our chances with the tickets since we only found out about it the day before arriving in Busan. Good thing they sold tickets on site so we went there as early as we can. We just roamed around the park the entire day while waiting for the concert to start. 


Good thing there were several food trucks in the area so it felt like a picnic in the park. Also, I love autumn weather so being out there on an autumn day was already a treat.

Before the concert started, they were showing lots of videos promoting the tourist attractions of Busan and that was the time when I felt na sobrang lakwatsera ko talaga 'cause I recognize and I've been to almost all Busan attractions that was featured there.

I concentrated on watching the concert so I only took some photos:

Super Junior is currently busy promoting their new album now and they sang two of their new songs that night.

Final Stage
all the performers went back to the stage.

Busan One Asia Festival 2019 Super Junior

They sang Busan Vacance as the finale. It was my first time hearing the song and I suggest you listen to it especially if you're thinking of visiting Busan. :))))) 

I love the MV 'cause it shows Las Vegas (my first home away from home) and they were promoting Busan (my second home away from home). Kinilig lang kasi close to my heart. Hehe!

I know a lot of people who go to Busan for a day trip but I really suggest taking your time exploring the whole of Busan 'cause it's worth it. 

But yeah, visit Busan!!!!! <3 All the places they mentioned in the song, I've already about posted here.

For my first trip to Japan, we were initially hoping for Tokyo but then since it was easier to buy tickets to Fukuoka on a Cebu Pacific Air seat sale, we went to Fukuoka instead. Below is the itinerary of our seven days stay in Hakata, Fukuoka. I have also embedded a Google Map just so you'd have an idea on where the places are located.


LENGTHY POST AHEAD

I saw cheaper Fukuoka itineraries but they only stayed in Hakata area during their tour. Huis Ten Bosch is the main reason why we chose FUK and since we bought the JR Pass ticket then exploring other parts of Northern Kyushu is the most obvious thing to do even if that meant spending more.

 Itinerary:

DAY 1:
MNL - FUK flight
We just checked in our hotel, ate dinner and we called it a night around 11 PM.

DAY 2: (Yufuin, Oita)
1. Yufuin Floral Village
2. Kinrin Lake
3. Hells of Beppu

Bus travel from Hells of Beppu (Oita) to Yufuin
Yufuin Food Trip (esp. for match lovers!!!!) and Yufuin No Mori train ride


DAY 3: (Sasebo)
1. Huis Ten Bosch
Link: Morning
Link: Night


DAY 4: (Dazaifu, Nagasaki)
1. Tenmangu Shrine
2. Starbucks Dazaifu
3. Spectacles Bridge 
4. Mount Inasayama
Link: Ropeway
Link: Viewing Platform

5. Don Quijote

DAY 5: (Fukuoka)
1. Uminonakamichi Seaside Park
2. Ramen at Ichiran
3. Fukuoka Tower

DAY 6: (Fukuoka)
1. Tochoji Temple
2. Kushida shrine
3. Ohori Park
4. Maizaru Park
5. Fukuoka Castle (Ruins)
6. Kawabata Shopping Center
7. Don Quijote
8. Canal City Mall Fountain Show

DAY 7:
1. Lunch at Uobei
2. Canal City
3. Sakura Viewing
Royce chocolate shopping at the airport
FUK - MNL flight

Notice that we didn't include a lot of items in our itinerary since we wanted our days to be chill and more room for surprises. Also, these places were not near each other so we had to allot travel time. We are usually not strict with our schedule - we know our itinerary and which trains to take but the time changes depending on the circumstances since we were dependent on the train schedule. Also, this is not the most affordable tour since we had to pay entrance fees for some places and they were definitely not cheap. So, hindi ako magbibigay ng itinerary na 10k lang e nalibot mo na buong Northern Kyushu. Overtime, you'd find a travel style that suits you more and this itinerary was what we deemed best for a better value and better experience. 

 

Travel Tips:

I have actually posted the arrival and departure details before but since I've finished posting all the articles related to our Fukuoka travel, I have decided to compose a more detailed one. 

TIP: For people availing the JR Pass, know the schedule of the trains you're taking. This way, you'd be able to be more efficient in planning routes. 

DAY 2: (Yufuin, Oita)


[Klook Link] Dazaifu Shrine, Yufuin, and Beppu Day Trip in Kyushu

1. Yufuin Floral Village
Yufuin Floral Village, Japan

2. Kinrin Lake
Kinrin Lake

3. Hells of Beppu

[Klook Link] Hells of Beppu Admission Ticket and Kamenoi Bus 1 Day Pass in Kyushu

Hells of Beppu

TIP: The train that goes to Yufuin is an all-reserved train that easily gets sold-out. What we did was we decided to go to the farther place first which is the Hells of Beppu and we rode a bus to Yufuin. Trains back to Hakata Station were still all-reserved but it was easier to get tickets on the spot. Also, there are a lot of food establishments you can eat at in Yufuin. We enjoyed our food trip there, our favorite were the cheesecake and matcha gelato both of which we've researched about beforehand. <3



DAY 3: (Sasebo)


[Klook Link] Huis Ten Bosch Ticket Nagasaki



[Klook Link] Huis Ten Bosch Ticket and Train Pass



1. Huis Ten BoschLink: Morning


Link: Night



TIP: Again, make sure to take train schedules in mind and reserve tickets if you can. We spent the whole day walking around 'cause this European Theme Park is soooooooo huge. We weren't able to try it but the entrance to the VR rides are ticket-inclusive. Should you want to use the rides, fall in line in the morning 'cause the queue gets longer in the afternoon. What we did was we walked around, rested and ate late lunch outside the park, went back and walked around again. Parang dalawang beses kami nagpunta - isa sa umaga, isa sa gabi. Why did we stay for the entire day? aside from making sure we got our money's worth, the park has a different feel to it in daytime and in night time. Still the highlight of Fukuoka 2019 especially the fields of tulips. <3


DAY 4: (Dazaifu, Nagasaki)



[Klook Link] Dazaifu Shrine, Yufuin, and Beppu Day Trip in Kyushu


1. Tenmangu Shrine
Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine

2. Starbucks Dazaifu

3. Spectacles Bridge 

4. Mount Inasayama
Link: Ropeway

Link: Viewing Platform


5. Don Quijote

TIP: There are a lot of places that can be visited in Nagasaki so you may spend the entire day there. However, if you'll be following this itinerary, you'd have to be at the Shrine at around 3 PM (the latest) because establishments near it close early. 

DAY 5: (Fukuoka)



[Klook Link] Fukuoka Tower Ticket


1. Uminonakamichi Seaside Park
Baby Blue Eyes Umininakamichi Park

2. Ramen at Ichiran
Ichiran Ramen, Fukuoka

3. Fukuoka Tower
Fukuoka Tower


TIP: The Seaside Park is huge!!! No matter how small it looks like in the map, it is huge! If you don't plan on staying there for a long time though, you can add it on a day when you're JR pass is still active. That way, you won't have to pay an additional fee for the train ride going there. For Fukuoka Tower, try to go there before sunset just so you'd have time to explore the nearby beach as well before going up to the viewing deck.

DAY 6: (Fukuoka)


[Klook Link] 1 Day/2 Days Fukuoka Subway Tickets

1. Tochoji Temple
2. Kushida shrine

3. Ohori Park
4. Maizaru Park
5. Fukuoka Castle (Ruins)
6. Kawabata Shopping Center

7. Don Quijote

8. Canal City Mall Fountain Show


TIP:  Riding the bus can be a little bit expensive but it's inevitable so make sure you're riding the right one. Availing the unlimited subway pass can be more economical if you're planning your routes near the stations. Also, renting bicycles for the entire day can be an option especially if you're travelling during Spring or Autumn. 

DAY 7:


1. Lunch at Uobei
Uobei Sushi

2. Canal City

3. Sakura Viewing

Royce chocolate shopping at the airport

Royce in Fukuoka Airport

FUK-MNL flight

TIP:  You can take a train or a bus when going back to the airport. It didn't take a lot of time but you'd have to surrender all the receipts or the tax refund receipts of all your purchases just after the immigration counter. All the receipts are taped on the pages of your passport and they will be the one to remove them. Also, it doesn't matter if you don't find Royce Chocolates in Hakata because there's one inside the airport. 


Expenses:

Below are the fixed expenses we had...

Pre-departure: P 10,770.00
  1. Airfare: P 4,000
  2. Travel Tax - P 1,620
  3. Visa Processing Fee - P 950
  4. JR Pass - P 3,942 at Klook [Purchase Tickets Here]
  5. Fukuoka Tower - P 258 at Klook [Purchase Tickets Here]

Expenses in Fukuoka: 22,522 Yen around 10,584

  1. Hostel -  11,892 (we've reserved the rooms on sale but it was pay cash upon arrival)
  2. Sea Hells Entrance Fee - 400
  3. Bus to Beppu Hells - 340
  4. Bus from Beppu to Yufuin - 940*
  5. Huis Ten  Bosch - 7,000 [Purchase Klook Tickets Here]
  6. Nagasaki Ropeway - 1,230
  7. Fukuoka Subway Pass - 720 [Purchase Klook Tickets Here]
*spent 940 'cause we didn't want to go back to the JR train station so we rode a bus from the Hells straight to Yufuin

Total for Fixed Expenses: P 21,354

Our total for a week in Northern Kyushu was around P 30,000. We were really anxious with regards to the expenses for this trip because Japan is known as an expensive country and it didn't disappoint -ang mahal talaga. However, two things that made the entire cost significantly lower were our airfare and accommodation.

airplane tickets - booked November
accommodation - booked early December (no payment yet)
pocket money - December, January, February (dito kami nagpa-palit ng Yen paunti-unti per month)
Visa processing - February (tigas ng mukha mag-asikaso ng kung ano-ano nang wala pang visa... hahaha! madaming kaba pero mas malaking tiwala ang kinailangan)
travel dates - March

Above is how we distributed the expenses in a span of five months para hindi masyado mabigat... :))) but take note that we already planned the trip March of last year pa after Macau so kinda like a one year in the making trip pa rin. 

Looking forward to a P 30,000 Tokyo din!! BAKA NAMAN HAHAHAHA.
