KOREA-DAY 7 (17TH JULY 2010)

The day I love and enjoy the most!


Despite the bad weather yesterday, lady luck is on our side today when our tour guide told us that we are able to take the submarine today. It was a bonus to all of us! Especially my mum, was exceptionally happy and looking forward!

On the ferry...
It was so jerky that I felt the dizziness on me and I realized, I do have motion sickness afterall. Before that, I still insist that I will be well and so reject any motion sickness pills that were being offered me. Love the wind up there!


Inside the submarine. Our virgin experience.

After an hour or so, I finally get to breathe some fresh air and my dizziness slowly subsides. Songan Sunrise Peaks up next. My favourite No 2. Finally some exercising to do! Haha, Dad and Mum gave up climbing halfway. Partly because of the time constraint given since they wanted to have more time to buy more Jeju Orange Chocolates! But I guess the main reason was they were just too tired!! Its still a lovely morning, JH and I were motivated to climb up to the peak no matter what. Since we were already there, how could we waste the chance!

Our victory shot. It was so misty up the peak but both of us were proud with our Nuna-Dongsaeng spirit!

And then it was time for lunch. Black pork BBQ! It tasted exceptionally yummy especially after our exercise and we all love it!


And so this was it in our stomach.

And we proceeded to the Song-Up Folk Village, just a few distance away from where we had our meal. We were told that it is very safe living here and there is no need for doors since many of the thatched houses are under a protection order and most importantly, there is no need to guard for thief!

Horse riding seems interesting but it was like a thrill to us! Not only are mankinds the competitive breed in this reality world, horses do too! And please don't underestimate small horses for they do run fast as well, your butt can't simply stay put for you will 'bounce' when they race with the rest. Fun! But perhaps I will need to have a second thought if I am given the chance to play cowboy again.

At the Lotte Jeju Windmill. Besides taking pictures, there isn't really much we could do there except to admire.


Teddy Bear Musuem, the place where I can return to my childhood times again! Not to say that I love Teddy Bears very much, but then looking at the different bears and camwhore with them can just hype you up. Thought of getting a bear back, but then in the end we found nothing we like. And perhaps its a good decision not to buy it back, no room for storage is one problem and also it will soon be dusty and need a bath! Definitely high maintenance cost for me. Haha.




Our last itinerary for the day. O'sulloc Green Tea Museum, my third favourite. Just love the aroma of the green tea that spreads across everywhere no matter which part of the museum you are at. And the big plantation just has the magic power to lure you to it, making you able to relax under the greenery, enjoy the breeze and breathe in the fresh air.



Our last dinner in Jeju (or in fact Korea) was the Hanjeongsik, a Korea traditional set. It looks sumptuous but I only like the Saba, the steaming egg tofu and the seaweed soup. But it does not affect my positive opinion on food and dishes in Korea till now.


Despite a tight schedule today, we managed to cover all the places. Compared to the past few days, I don't feel tired today. Even though morning was a little sickly, however it doesn't spoil my mood for the rest of the day. Instead I feel fruitful and satisfied with everything today! The nice weather, the delicious meals, the many eye-openers brought us to a good night sleep.
