[GUIDE] Korea Trip Dec 2011/ Jan 2012 (Guide for Penghui!) - Part 2 - JEJU ISLAND
Ok basically not really a guide, just a rough one.
Firstly, we took local budget airline Eastar Jet which our friend Louis had booked for us earlier from Gimpo Airport at Seoul to arrive Jeju Island!
- ticket cost about KRW43000 (S$50/-)
- please take note there are domestic and international terminal at Gimpo Airport which you had to take bus transfer to each other (check with local airport officer if unsure!)
After arrived at Jeju Airport, we managed to rent a Hyundai hatched-back (for 4 persons) car for 3 days which costs about KRW127800 (S$130/-) Quite cheap if 4 persons share I think? Its easy to get around by keying in wherever you wanna go the places telephone number (GPS is in Korean but easy to use, I think)
IMPORTANT!!! Most of people in Jeju cannot speak English, so when we did our booking for accomodations we got our MR HONG (From Golden Pond Hostel) to call and do the bookings for us for some of the accomodations.
Date : 29/12/2011 ~ 1/1/2012 (New Year in Jeju!)
=== PLACES I GO IN JEJU (BY DRIVING) ===
Day 1
- arrived Jeju around evening
- quite late to go around + hungry
Day 2
- Spirited Garden (took pic at entrance only)
- Jeju Glass Castle (entrance fee : KRW 9000)
- O'Sulloc Tea Museum (free admission!)
- Chocolate Museum (entrance fee : KRW 4000)
- Teddy Bear Museum (entrance fee : KRW 8000)
- Jungmun Daepo Columnar-jointed Lava (free admission at that time as Jeju Island won UNESCO World Heritage thingy)
night time already! not enough time for more~
Day 3
- Sangumburi Crater (admission : KRW3000)
- Mini-miniland (admission : KRW7000)
- Gimnyeong Maze (admission : KRW3300)
- Gimnyeong Seongsan Beach (wind too cold!)
Day 4
- Seongsan Ichulbong Peak (only stayed in car and watched the peak from afar as it is New Year's Day and everyone goes to the peak to do some offerings - its a annual thing for the locals?)
- drive along coastal road from Seongsan to Gimnyeong (stop and take picture on the way, whenever we want - beauty of self-driving)
- sent rental car back to Jeju-rent-a-Car and off to Mokpo via ferry!
=== WHERE I STAYED IN JEJU ===
Day 1 - Hani Hostel, Hallim-eup
- KRW15000/person/night
- really nice place
- owner/operator is a young lady (Park Bom look-a-like) who can speak english
Day 2 - UI Guesthouse, Gujwa-eup
- KRW20000/person/night
- very secluded guesthouse
- owner cannot speak English (we are able to stay here
Day 3 - Cote Dor Tourist Hotel, Gimnyeong
- KRW80000/night (3ppl share)
- finally some sensible accomodation
- 3 star hotel with some good facilities
Day 4 - off to Mokpo via ferry!
Conclusion:
In Jeju, it is not easy to find a proper meal as ALL of the shops are written in Korean and everyone speaks Korean there. Basically we just get our makans at Family-Mart (our saviour) and happen to pass-by some shops that has Ginseng Chicken Soup or Black Pork (haven tried). Seafoods are cheap in Jeju, if you know how to order lol.
Too much place to visit in Jeju, not enough time to 'appreciate' them all! 1 week in Jeju should be enough and optimal.

3. Namdaemun area

5. Itaewon area
- had my delicious KFC here!
- bought my favourite the North Face sling bag here (if you see, maybe can help me buy again - black color :P)

(these shopping places didnt manage to visit, not enough time! but i think should have some cheap goods, cos university area cater to the budget people)
6. Ewha Women's University
7. Samcheong-dong
8. Hongik University (Hongdae)
9 . check out more here!
=== PLACE OF INTEREST @ SEOUL ===
1. Cheongyecheon stream
- beautiful man-made stream cutting across the heart of the city of Seoul
- I went during winter, was too cold to walk for long!
- Things to try : take a walk along Cheongyecheon stream from East to the West (the 'origin' of the stream), about 2 hours walk I think
2. Nami Island
- filming location of the hit drama Winter Sonata!
- (1 & 1/2 hours from Seoul)
- check out how to go there here!
- was kinda stuck when I was at Cheongnyanni Station about which line to take to Gapyeong station, you can always check with the local officers there! very helpful
- TIPS : go early! the last time I went there was in winter and late afternoon, so when I arrived I didnt manage to walk the whole island as it was dark already T.T
3. N Seoul Tower
- walked uphill to Namsan Cable Car Station from our Namsan guesthouse (fun during winter)
- there's a park on top with lots of "locks-of-love" very unique and beautiful
- the Nature Republic store on top of the tower boast that it is the cheapest in town, can request for more free gifts here!
4. Seoul Plaza
- there's an outdoor ice-skating rink here during winter-time! fun to see people having fun skating around
and many more (mostly are palaces like Gyeongbokgung Palace or Gyeonghuigung Palace) which I dont have interest to visit and also not enough time) probably can visit if I am going again to Korea next time.
=== PLACE WHERE I STAYED @ SEOUL ===
1. Golden Pond Guesthouse, Daehak-ro area (near Hyehwa Stn)
- water heater doesn't work sometimes (bad during winter! I just couldn't shower cold water during winter!)
- common area has a bit of 'fishy' smell
- no breakfast
- but cheap!
- overall, the owner (Mr. Hong) was really friendly and helpful and are able to converse in English fluently
- made reservations via email in their website http://www.goldenpond.co.kr/
2. Namsan Guesthouse 3, Myeong-dong area (recommended!)
- easy access to subway station
- near Myeongdong shopping street
- cheap and good + free breakfast! (bread and jam only la)
- Website : http://www.namsanguesthouse.com/
Part 2 @ Jeju coming up soon!

Rants
Enough of being optimistic since I came back from China. lol.
Spent yesterday's night with my good old bud Andy who transitted to Taiwan via Singapore. He's a really good friend of mine that I would give up my usual wednesday football session just to meet him up! Hey, its not everyday you get a visitor from Taiwan, plus its an old buddy too lol We share our life's experience together, but as usual he did the talking more. :D That's the old Andy I know.
By the way, just posting here as it is Euro Cup 2012 Season now...anyways was browsing through Facebook, and it somehow felt different this time. I find life is unfair and some people has the better lives (or better halves) Am I not deserving all these? Or has my time not arrived yet? Was it not my time to shine yet? Or something is holding back from letting the light of my life shining? I find that my new-found optimism (that I have acquired in China) seems to be fading away.. and all the clouds of negativism taking over. Hmmm, I could place the blame on being with the wrong peers. I must do something to my life, I am still thinking... but action must be carry out soon!
Of course, by keeping the motto "look to the future, appreciate the present and put the past behind" actively applied into my life. Ahhh, reaching this sentence, after ranting and expressing, that optimism-spirit is kind of holding on now. *side-smile*

Its Friday night...
Its Friday night! Its actually over 12 and am in Saturdays now... Just got back from meeting up old pals at Bugis and Bugis+ (Jingnin and Enghui, the original buds that I've spent my last STPM paper with) Seriously, they are a good friend, just gotta have a mutual respect for each other then all is good. Had our dinner at V8 Cafe, initially thought that place will have long queue...probably is due to food quality reduced? Anyways, went there for the 2nd time and seriously, I'm not sure if there will be a 3rd time as it didnt 'enticed' me enough to come back for more..menus are cheap though.
Thursday night went to PC Fair 2012 and bought a Toshiba 500G Portable Hard Disk for my sister (cost SGD86/-, cheapest for the fair so far I've checked!) That day also I have met up another old friend (Robin and the gf, Yen Yen) Had our dinner at Sushi Express where all sushi plates cost SGD1.50++ only, I still dont like octopus and squid though (argh!) We ordered a total of 29+2 plates but the stupid waitress go and write it as 39+2, we paid for more! Luckily I was smart and witty enough to do some memory calculations of what we should be paying and we went back to the cashier and stated the mistake to her. All was good as we manage to get a refund of about SGD17 back! (Hey, that's a lot and could feed a person for 1 or 2 days) (Money is hard to earn!) All thanks to me :P
Gotta give some credit to the 'yours truly' :D Felt proud of it and I do hope that I will always take note of such menial things in the future and dont get our wallets got chopped of just like that. Well 2 days of meeting 2 different groups of friend was enough to renew our acquaintance. Both near-weekend nights well spent!

Blog font changed...and others
Changed the blog's font again. Bored with the old one. Its hard to read it too! Makes me and probably some other peeps not 'entice' to read it. And speaking of enticement....recently I've watched the Avengers movie... its seriously a good show man! After watching the show, I am not entice to watch any other upcoming new shows anymore ~.~ Avengers to the end! w00t! Probably the upcoming movie in my waiting list would be Ironman 3, Thor 2, Captain America 2 and Avengers 2.... the rest.... *yawns* sleepy eyes :P
Sorry non-marvel movie maker!
