Travelogue : Korea With Love, Jeju Island

Good Morning Day 4! 

We woke up earlier than usual to catch the flight to Jeju Island. Again, foster parents made us breakfast before they dropped us at the airport. While leaving the house, mama dropped some Korean tidbits into my "Doraemon" bag. She was making sure we don't go hungry! She even gave us a bagful of steam sweet potatoes!! Sounds exaggerating? HAHA This is no joke le.. 



At the airport, after checking-in our luggage, went for a coffee at Angel-in-Us. 



 I am having my favourite Vanilla Latte. I just love the taste of Korean coffee.



It took us approximately one hour to reach Jeju Island. On-board with our chosen T-Way local airline. It was comfortable. I even manage to catch the glimpse of how the maintenance team really work. It's just like how we watch TVB Drama "Triumph in the Sky II where Summer and her team works. They gave a thumbs-up to the captain upon completing their maintenance check and bid goodbye before the flight departed. I even saw them doing the salute to the pilots. It's my first time seeing it for real (not drama) and they were indeed professional to me!!  HAHA






Anyone hungry now?? I am whenever I see these food pictures. This is our first meal at Jeju Island and we first settled the bill ourselves. Imagine we only starts spending money on 4th day here. Still counting blessing even today! <3

Upon arrival at Jeju International Airport, we quickly headed to the car rental with the free shuttle bus services available at the airport. Took our cute mini red KIA (think it looks like the Picanto we have here) and search around for food! 

We pick and point the nearest place and found a seafood restaurant. It was toothsome that I had two bowls of rice again! We were too hungry then. We were thinking, if we kept having such a scrumptious meal everyday, how much money do we have to spend in Jeju Island alone. LOL!! You know what!! This dishes you have just seen earlier, it cost us RM 180++(3 pax). We said "Pampering oneself on occasional basis is good" Muahhaha! 



Since we had so much food, we decided for a walk at the beach!! MC is super excited driving us around in the left hand drive car. Our first stop - Hyeopjae Beach It was super duper cold! We saw couple having pre-wedding photo shoot. We saluted them as the bride was in tube short dress in the temperature of 10 degree celsius LOL For the sake of beautiful pictures ya!! 



Before the sunsets picture!! It was a very clean beach. 


When the sun came down... 


I had my favourite dance post!! Had them during my Taiwan trip at Lovers Bridge and now in Jeju -- its like a must have post! :P


Getting dark like so fast!! And weather is getting cooler. But I forced myself not to wear extra jacket! Crazy fella who just wanna enjoy autumn!! LOL!! I am sure Emily gonna agree with me - Enjoy the weather!! :-)


We went to a nearby cafe for a drink before going to the guesthouse we booked earlier. This is COMMA Cafe. 


The lovely decoration at Island Guesthouse

We found Island Guesthouse with the help of the free GPS given when we rent the car. Although the instruction is in Korean, we do get little help from Google Map. Thanks to the free WIFI too!! Did not take much of the guesthouse picture. Anyway, do check out the website for more info. 

The lady at the guesthouse has been sharing information around Jeju Island to us. It was kind of informative and we can search the location/area with the telephone number and voila - GPS would bring us there!! But if you are like me 没有方向感, sorry to say Google Map in English would be a problem as well!! LOL So we must thank MC for being so good at directions! 

Since we had a car, going around Jeju Island is definitely not a problem. We went to the nearby 24-hour convenience store to grab some light food and tid-bits. 

Makgleoli is cheaper than a small box of milk!! T____T

Our dinner - Korean noodles and some Korean snacks. 

Since it was kind of late and dark, nothing much we can do.  We need to sleep earlier to catch the glimpse of the most magnificent sunrise view at 3:00 am the next day. 

上班都没那么早咯!LOL!! 

Anyway, let me continue in the next post. Gonna share lots of beautiful scenery picture of Jeju Island! 

Stay tuned!!
