K-pop boy band Seventeen member Joshua revealed what happened to him and his mom when they went on an unplanned trip to Manila in September.Last Oct. 2, Seventeen members held a live broadcast wherein Joshua revealed the unfortunate incidents that happened to him and his mom in Manila.
He added, “Since I had never gone on a trip abroad with my mom until then, I was really excited about it. I planned everything ahead. I booked our flight and hotel rooms. I also looked into places where we could go together and stuff.” He added, “The closest flight with seats was a flight to Manila, so we decided to go there instead. We didn’t have time to exchange our money and stuff, because our flight was taking off soon. We thought we’ll be able to sort it out once we get there.”“There were like six of them, but none of them worked. We were like, ‘Okay, then. Let’s find a hotel, then check in to it first. We’ll withdraw money near the hotel or something.’ We got into a taxi, thinking that they would accept cards.
“We went to this five-star hotel, and I asked the hotel staff to overcharge my card and give me some cash with the amount that they overcharged my card. Thankfully, they did that for me. The taxi driver asked for like a thousand something in the Philippine peso, and I later found out that I had paid like three times more. Gosh…,” he said.“We walked around the hotel to find a decent restaurant for dinner, but none of them looked very good.
