South Korea Trip - Spring 2016 (Part 2)

Day3:
Today, we are going to explore Jeju Island. I wear a simple black top and black trousers and a red maroon sweater because the weather in Jeju is not that cold, though it is raining hard for the rest of the day and it is cold because we go to Mt. Hallasan and also Eco Land Theme Park.





First, we go to Hello Kitty Island and also go to Teddy Bear Museum. I notice the Mango Six Cafe and enter there but why is it so expense, a cup of coffee is around 5.000 won (or around Rp 60.000) then we were brought to Orange Farm with Canola Flowers around them. It's so beautiful and we take pictures again there.




We also have pork bulgogi for lunch and Mom try the Jeju Strawberry which is big and sweet. So nice and different from the one we used to have in Indonesia.






It takes around an hour to go to Mt. Hallasan and Seongsan Ilchubong Peak. We get to see the rain drizzling and we also take some pictures of Seongsan Ilchubong and it has a very amazing view near the ocean, though I may say it's too crowded and the nature itself has ben mixed with human's hands. Not the one like Alishan National Park who is still unreachable of human hands.






After that, we also go to Ecoland Theme Park and after reaching there, we need to go to each station by train. Sadly the cherry blossoms are not blooming yet, if yes, the road to Eco Bridge would be so much beautiful and the scenery is much likely to be winter instead, without the snow.





At night, we eat Samgyetang (Korean Chicken Ginseng Soup) and I like it since it's very nutrious and the taste is kinda good with additional salt.

Inside the chicken there are some glutonous rice
After we reach hotel (M-Stay Jeju Hotel), I pack my baggages and ready to go back to Seoul the next tomorrow morning. It feels so fast for our holiday and that night I watch another Episode of Descendant of the Sun <3. So far, the tour guide is pretty nice, I give applause for the local guide since he tells us many stories about Korea, and I just know that Jeju is famous for it's strong wind.

But for the tour guide from Indonesia (by Golden Rama, whose name is Michelle), I don't really see her work well expect the administration stuffs since she is so quiet, very different from the one we have when we went to Taiwan last summer (by Golden Rama and the tour guide is Kartika), whereby there are some jokes and morning greetings at least. She is just so quiet and doesn't do anything much, well, with a young age like her, it's not easy to take care of 25 people yet she is not that experienced. This is just an honest thought cos imo, she's done nothing as a tour guide and the only thing she did is asking us to stay and listen to the local guide and ask us to get together at this place on certain time. So annoying seriously till I am really getting pissed off at the last day since I couldn't take a lot of pictures because she always hurry us.

One legend says it's a dragon who stole a diamond from Mt. Halla and was shot by the mountain deity and fall into the beach and froze looking at the sky
