Korea - Busan & Jeju

Hello Korea! 

This is quite a impromptu trip because we just book the tickets when scoot came out with a promo. Haha! 

We went Busan, Jeju and Seoul for this 10 days trip and it's really a fulfilling one.

We stayed 1 night at their Jijimbang (sauna place) because of the shit timing we reached Seoul. It's really an 'eye opener' and different experience. But we were so tired as we did not sleep for more than 24hours and we have to carry out luggages everywhere and even up a super long flight of stairs. We knocked out in the train to Busan.

So glad that we booked Teddy's guesthouse. The price is rather steep but totally worth it. The place is so spacious and cosy! Love it!

So we have only 1 day in Busan, we went to the beach, fish market, colourful village and gwangan bridge. 

Took their domestic flight to jeju the next day. Jeju air's steward/stewardess are so polite and friendly, I am so impressed! 

Liting and Qiaosie decided to drive in jeju and I think we made the right choice. We went waterfall, teddy bear museum, all in lighthouse, sunrise peak, manjang cave and not forgetting their famous black pork BBQ. We went 2 different outlets, 1 being recommended by local and the other research online. Personally I like donsadon better but there is a communication barrier. They don't even speak simple English so they uncle just helped us order. He is so nice to cook for us and teach us the different ways of eating by pointing here and there. Haha!

First 3 days were the most tiring part of the trip, on average we only have like 4 to 5 hours sleep. The weather is killing, if not for the strong wind we will die of heat. We became so so so tanned and I have all kinds of ugly shoes tanned lines :( I think the most amazing part is that we actually have to carry our 15 to 16kg luggages for 3 to 4 stories whenever we change places. The most torturous part of our trip.

I shall blogged abou Seoul in another post, this is too long and I have this post pending for a week. Hahaha! 

P/s: this post has been pending for weeks and I can't seem to find time to upload the photos. So jeju photos next time! :)
