sixty-seven

For the last 8 days i had spent great times in Korea !! 1st i reached Seoul Incheon int airport with a cousin of my friend picking us up.She is a master student in korea and so much thank to her on guiding my trip in Seoul. Trust me korean language is real important there , eng practically doesnt work unless info counter and high class place -off course !! i reached seoul at night and spend most of the night searching for place to rest. Got a quite cheap place. Suppose it is love hotel maybe…as when i went out of room to get my drink i heard the room opposite mine producing some strange voice…u know wat i mean…and im sure it is not from the TV..as it is so LIVE !! and after sometime when i walked out again n they already check out…a lady is cleaning the room and the bed is in total mess !! That night catched a glimpse of nandaemon( famous big gate in Korea)  which is very near to my motel. Had some light shopping - tried a banana milk which is suprisingly tasty and some hawker’s food. Ya it is so many stall at the roadside…and when u shop in korea dont be suprised if u dun get plastic bag …cause in korea u need to pay for it unless u buy clothes and expensive stuffs !! many of frens said korea food is cheaper in jpn but cos our guide bring us to famous and nice food which cost a little bit more…i dun blame her at all but thanks her instead as the food is real nice but this is what gonna contribute a little bit to my money problem later Next morning went to Korea palace and some famous temple and etc  HAd hot boiled chige for lunch and ginseng chicken for dinner - so tasty Ya here is a pic with the palace guard !!

oopsss….wrong pic anyway here is the pic with the guard at the palace only !! the 2nd and 3rd night sleep at my fren international hostel…no it is not free but very cheap !! Lotte world is a famous theme park in seoul but i skipped then as i feel i come not for theme park..even in jpn also have !! So i went for shopping in myeongdon , dongdaemon ( east big gate ) area  here like a big pasar malam in msia…full with pirated stuff and food Ever heard of NAnTA ? it is a special musical show in korea…and im 100 %  recommend evbody go !! it is superb …dun worry they perform in body language !! briefly it is a musical-cum-comedy drama show. Their musical instrument is kitchen stuff which is so special and it worths for ur every penny !! i guarantee it …

Next on i have to leave seoul and continue conquering korea. 1st stop is Pusan,which i planned to stop a while only as all my frens said that it is not a interesting town. i planned to take ship to jeju at the night itself but all my plan spoiled when i realised that there is no ship on sunday night ..i was like ..huh ?!! u know when u r in holiday u almost forget all the date. Act i planned to take ship on the night so can spend more time in jeju…as if i reached next day means no more ship ( jeju ship dont run on wed ) for me to back from jeju to seoul…i have to catch my flight back to seoul !! leaving no choice …as i dun wanna take flight from pusan to jeju we spent a night in Pusan and reluctantly play in pusan. Pusan is a port city which means it is full of seafod…had a great seafood dinner after taking so much to choose as there is so many restaurants. Then when the time which my plan is already over-budget as dosmestic flight is not that cheap…CASINO appeared nearby my hotel.  Long story cut short …i came out of that door with my already over-budget plan becoming worse…but cant denied that i had some fun inside…hehe !! When all hope seems dim…luckily i realise i had a VISA card …which i applied for fun last time…as i always said to myself that i dun need such thing. But the time has come…i have to live like rich people…haha The feeling was so wonderful swifting ur card here and there…like not paying anything and yet u get all the good things..hehe !! So the next day , took a night ship to JEju which will take almost 11 hours. Terribly i hate to admit this but i suffered some sea-sickness…didnt vomit though!! having no medicine…i medicate myself by falling asleep for the whole trip !! hehe

Very early in the morning reach Jeju island- a volcanic island !! a place full of wonderful natural environment view !! 1st in the morning i searched for place to stay ..on my fren advise i went searching for jimjilbang but after some hardship i realised it is not a motel but it is a sauna place…anyway luckily nearby there a lot of motel and get myself 1 at a low price. It is seriously a decent room with 2 big bed and nice bathtub , tv etc The plus point is the owner wife can talk mandarin But sadly till now i dunno wats the motel name all in korean character !! Some highlights of Jeju is jeongbang falls ( where falls connect to sea ) There is a legend that general Seobul stop here b4 looking for elixir of life. there is a carving by him on the stone.Dunno him..? he is sent by emperor Chin to searh for eternal life potion. Some legends said that finally he settled in Japan !!

this is the waterfall and as u can see many students are haeding towards it.they having some kind of school trip. Took my time and communicatd with some cute korean girls… Ya..suprisingly malaysia is quite famous in korea than in japan !! In korea when im asked on where i come from they know when i said malaysia but in japan they will only nod their head when u said u come from a country which lies between Thai and Singapore !! Next i head to another waterfall called cheongjibang falls. Later on had my lunch at a quite high-class restaurant. Off course again my visa paid the bill…Had the locally famous grill black-pork !! yummy !!

then head to yet another beatiful view…look carefully all the stone is in hexagonal  shape…so great the work of nature !!

actually the day before i paid a visit to world-longest lava cave…as it is too dark inside cant get a real good pic !! got some videos though. Then went to the famous mysterious road where the road looks like going down but actually it proofs otherwise. U can see it clearly when u r inside a car…the car move toward a slope automatically which means the opposite of gravity law !! Then paid visit to a love land nearby…which i think sud change the name to sex land…evthing in display is about sex but not love !! cheh …

then finally that night had the famous local abalone porridge.Nightmare as the shop doesnt accept visa card…but luckily the cash we left can settle the bill …phew or else i will be blogging in korea jail ..hehe !! So the next day head back to Japan. WAs a real tire day…so many norikae ( changing transportation) !!Take taxi in the morning to get from motel to jeju airport , then plane from jeju to gimpo airport , then from gimpo take bus to incheon airport , then from there flew back to narita. Then take rapid train to Chiba , then local train back to kisrazu station and finally taxi from railway station back to hostel. isnt it tiring ? total time almost 8-9 hours. Anyway Korea is fun….the food is hot and spicy , u order little things but many things come out :p Is better to know some hangul , and though my holiday seems fun but alot obstacles too…like once when my travel partner vomitted in the bus…i have to clean in the bus…like those in korea drama..haha !! definitely i recommend KOREA -
