Covid19 :Seoul Spring break become heart break *trip cancellation


Sorry if the title is in English but the content will be in Bahasa. Supposedly travel for spring break early April in Seoul. However, as the number of Covid19 patients keeps on growing I have to be rational and cancel the trip.

July 2019 - Hati berbunga bunga bila baca Royal Brunei ada sale...Dahla tak pernah naik Royal Brunei lagi. Return trip rm1100 ke Seoul tp kena short transit dekat Brunei. dah dekat2 nak sama dengan Air Asia tu kalau tambah bagasi dan beg haruslah kena beli tiket ni.Plus boleh sokong  airline tak jual arak dengan bagi kebebasan bertudung.

January 2019 - Covid 19 memunculkan diri ...takpe takpe. Seoul takde kes lagi.Sure dah reda ni masa bulan April. Dah siap browse and pergi Klook punya event nak beli pakej Jinhae macam ni :


Feb 2020-setiap hari makin meningkat pesakit  Covid 19kat South Korea.  Tempat kerja pun dah keluar memo "Travel Restriction" kalau pergi melawat 7 negara termasuk Korea kena kuarantinkan diri. Mula2 kata tolak cuti..pastu keluar memo kementerian kesihatan baru dorang ubah jadi cuti yang tidak direkodkan.

Mac 2020-semakin meningkat lagi dan lagi





Festival pun cancel..Bunga masih akan mekar tapi takkan nak pergi lagi kan...haha




Pastu terbaca petikan artiker Dr Maza;
"“Jika kamu mendengar taun di sesuatu tempat, jangan kamu pergi kepadanya. Jika berlaku di sesuatu tempat sedangkan kamu berada di situ, jangan kamu keluar daripadanya.” (Riwayat al-Bukhari dan Muslim).
Hadis ini mengajar tentang tindakan kuarantin agar penyakit atau wabak tidak tersebar"

Sis pun dengan berat hati email Royal Brunei cakap nak cancel ticket. Mereka cakap kalau cancel ada caj penalti RM300. Takpelah burn rm300 nanti kalau terjangkit kat sana,lagi masalah besar.

Ini step-step yang sis ambil ;

Royal Brunei
Penalti : RM300
Contact : Royal Brunei KL branch (kulrba@rba.com.bn)
Jenis refund : Refund kembali ke kad kredit /debit semasa pembelian
Tempoh refund : 4-6 minggu

Hotel / Guesthouse:
Booking.com
Dapat 100% sebab cancel sebelum tarikh akhir pembatalan.
Jenis refund : Refund kembali ke kad kredit /debit semasa pembelian
Tempoh refund : 7-12 hari

Pocket wifi:
Roaming Man
Penalti : RM30 jika batalkan kurang 10 hari dari tarikh activation.
Jenis refund : Refund kembali ke kad kredit /debit semasa pembelian
Tempoh refund : 7-14 hari bekerja

Lesson learnt :

1. Insurans :
Ada benefit untuk trip cancellation.  Especially kalau tak dapat pulangan 100%. Insurans akan coverkan amount yang burnt tu. Yang ni saya baca untuk pemegang polisi Etiqa (Gold dan platinum)
Kalau airline senndiri yang cancel pergi pasti boleh dpt pilihan tukar tarikh percuma atau refund penuh dari airline. Itupun etiqa tu cover untuk sesiapa yang beli polisi sebelum 27 Februari.

Saya tak claim insurans sbb ingat nak beli last minit huhu. Pengajaran beli awal2.

2. Penginapan :
Kalau harga murah sekali pun jangan amik jika tertulis "non refundable"
Selalu dekat booking.com atau agoda ada 2 harga yang mana 1 harga tu lebih murah tp syarat dia bayar awal dan non refundable. Kalau jadi kes wabak ni ..memang dorg takkan pulangkan sbb kita sendiri setuju "non refundable"

Nasib baik sis mmg selalu beli Pay later atau Free cancellation. Biar mahal sikit tp kalau jadi apa boleh dpt 100%

Itinerari (simpan untuk masa depan):
-Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival
-Gangneung Cherry Blossom Festival / Pantai Jumunjin (goblin)
- Yonsei Uni Sinchon ( penangan Extraordinary You )
- Dongmyo market

Akhir kata,sis berdoa semoga kita jumpa ubat /vaksin untuk Covid19 dan semua org dilindung dari wabak ini. Amin.InsyaAllah ada rezeki tahun depan pula ke Jinhae lagi.

  1. Good Day, My name is juliet quin i'm a citizen of USA i want to testify of the good Loan Lender who showed light to me after been scammed by 4 different Internet lender here in our country, they all promise to give me a loan after making me pay alot of fees which yield nothing and amounted to no positive result. i lost my hard earn money and it was a total of $6,000.00. One day as i was browsing through the internet looking forsterated when i came across a testimony of a man who was also scammed and eventually got linked to a legit loan company, where he finally got his loan, so i decided to contact the same loan company and then told them my story on how i have been scammed by 4 different lenders who did nothing but to course me more pain. I explain to the company by mail and all they told me was to cry no more because i will get my loan in their company and also i have made the right choice of contacting them. i filled the loan application form and proceeded with all that was requested of me and I was given a loan amount of $500,000.00 by this great Company managed by Mr ibrahim Magu and here i am today happy with my family because Mr ibrahim magu and he Company has given me a loan so i made a vow to my self that i will keep testifying on the internet on how i got my loan. so if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan with low interest rate of 2% and better repayment plans and schedule, please contact
    them now for your loan via email: ( ibrahimmagu48@gmail.com ) Or whatsapp Contact +1(450) 300-3869 i believe other people are also giving testimony on this same honest lender
