South Korea (Jeju Island) Dec 2012


1) Yongduan Dragon Head Rock - looks like a roaring dragon rising from the sea into the sky; stone grandfather carved from a block of basalt, try the grilled octopus at the front entrance - smell good ! 


2) Seongsan Sunrise Peak - an UNESCO heritage site, spectacular natural surroundings, a 30 mins uphill walk to the volcanic crater ....


3) Jeju Folk Village - not an old folk home but rich in traditional Korean artifacts & culture; be a good listener to the local tour guide - lot of folk tales to tell ....


4) Trick Art Museum - follow the instructions and your mimic action relates well with the tricky art .....

Tricks, tricks, tricks

 
 
 
 

5) Locadio World - nice backdrop from dramas produced by creative film directors / producers

Drama ! Drama ! Drama !



6) Teseum ( Teddy Bear Museum ) - you are in good company with softy bears

Bear ! Bear ! Bear !


7) Jeju Island downtown shopping area - great for an evening stroll after a heavy steamboat meal with kimchi … 


8) The Casino (Jeju Island) - nice building from far but we stay clear from entering as we do not have a deep pocket ....


9) Jeju Oriental Hotel in Jeju Island - doesn't matter whether it is 3 or 4 star as long we got a good night sleep ....


" Jeju Island - 2 million years old, land of the goddess, volcanic island, honeymooning, giant basalt grandfather statutes, black pigs, abalone porridge, folklore, hardworking Jeju women ...."
