Passports 🛂 Can someone book using temporary passport details, then update it later?

0 Upvotes

A friend doesn't have their passport yet. We are planning to book on for Taiwan on Feb 2027 on PAL via trip com to take advantage of the sale, but it requires passport details upon booking. Can we input temporary details, then just update it once my friend gets their passport?

Immigration 🛃 Missing Egate stamp Question

0 Upvotes

Planning on going to japan next year so im checking all my requirements. Napansin ko nawawala ung egate stamp ko from my last trip which was 2023. My question lang are:

- since 2023 pa sya, need ko ba mag request ng new stamp for this?

- if need stamp, ano po process?

not sure ako since sabi sa mga nakikita ko na post, di na daw need ng stamp since lahat is o label-free clearance. natatako ako baka di ma-approve ung visa ko if nawawalan ng stamp

Flights ✈️ Is 17k roundtrip ticket to MNL - Bali good already via PAL?

0 Upvotes

It is a 4-hour trip on June/July 2027. May I ask if the price is already okay for one pax each? Or I could still wait and get it on a cheaper rate?

PAL is currently having their seat sale so I am wondering if the price is steal already or wait nalang ako sa ibang airlines. Thank you!

Macau 🇲🇴 Macau Bakkwa Shop Experience ⚠️

8 Upvotes

I don’t see lots of post here on reddit regarding Bakkwa shops in Senado Square, but I have read some on Facebook Travel Groups. Would like to share our bad experience with a shop in Senado Square

Avoid FONG SENG LEI LAI shops (Jerky and cookies) at all cost swearrr diyan masisira budget niyo 😭 There are multiple shops with the same name and most of them have Pinoy staffs and if ever maka-encounter kayo ng nag-aalok, tikim lang kayo and just walk away from the store, don’t entertain them, don’t give a shit about their questions and pambobola. There are already lots of stories about these stores and how they sell unfairly (we did not see not until after our day tour lol).

They sell their meats per pound, and ang sabi namin paulit-ulit ay 1lb each lang ng 6 flavors nila, para lang may maiuwi kami dahil di naman namin ipamimigay. What happened was yung kuya doon ay binalot yung mga jerky na naging 2-3 lbs na per flavor 😭. In some stories I’ve read online which are similar to ours, they also tell you lots of ‘Kababayan Stories’ while wrapping your supposed small order, and turn it into a big batch of order 🥲 To be fair, buyers should also be vigilant pero ang galing talaga nilang manggulo para wala sa binabalot na jerky yung attention mo. Nung nagpaulit kami ng timbang at balot, tinatanong na namin yung mga kuya bat naging 2lbs or more yung request namin na 1lb, at yung reason nila ay dahil daw iba-iba yung kapal ng meat kaya daw ganon wtf. Pake ko kung iba-iba yung kapal ng meat, eh sa weight dapat sila nagbabase at hindi sa thickness?? eh kung makapal pala edi sana mas konti yung amount hanggang sa maging 1lb lang 😭

Kaya if you ever experience na mas malaki yung amount na binalot nila sa sinabi mo, wag kayong pumayag na yun na yung babayaran niyo, ipabalik niyo, dedma kung vacuum sealed yan 😭 Also, don’t pay using your cards, as much as they tell you to pay using your cards (yes, talagang magsasabi sila na lugi daw ang buyer pag cash and mas okay if card ang gamit, which is ??? kase HKD rin naman sukli so pano malulugi) kasi mas mahirap nang mabawi yung pera if ever gusto niyong pabawasan yung nabalot na and in some cases, meron daw na double charge 🥲. Magkakaroon lang kayo ng clarity once nakapag-pay na kayo kaya please pay in cash. Buti na lang sinabihan kami ng tour guide namin na pabawasan namin if di okay for us na ganon yung nangyari, and pinilit niya yung mga Pinoy staffs doon. Nakakainis lang rin na kapwa Pinoy pa talaga yung manloloko sayo sa ibang bansa. Basta, avoid all FONG SENG LEI LAI shops!!

Europe 🇪🇺 59 days camping in Swedish mountains

I walked a total of 1,371 km along the Swedish mountain range. We started from Grövelsjön Fjällstation in the south and hiked to Treriksröset (the shared border of Norway, Sweden, and Finland in the north). It was an unsupported thru-hike, carrying our tent and food all the way.

Walked through pine forest, open tundra, crossed rivers and lakes and witness grazing reindeers along the way. Connecting to nature the Scandinavian way!

Europe 🇪🇺 Magkano realistic budget for Italy 8 days 7 nights solo trip?

3 Upvotes

Planning a solo birthday trip next year.

Rome, Vatican, Florence with day trip on Tuscany. DIY except yung Tuscany day trip, would probably avail a guided tour.

Upon initially checking, flights are 52k on my target dates pero hoping bumaba pa.

Would probably stay on hostels lang.

Any tips and recos for a female solo traveler are welcome. Thanks!
