South Korea Winter Trip. Day 3: Jeju Island

On the early morning of the second day, the taxi driver brought us to a number of spots not on my 3rd day list. The day then went on until late night, and it was our last day at Jeju Island.

But I guessed the main highlight was the volcano, Halla Mountain, which is the highest in South Korea.

To get things started, we visited O'Sulloc Green Tea Garden and had breakfast in their café. Guess what, everything was made or has green tea in it, from sandwiches to cakes and ice-cream! 
Two big cups of tea, please...

Macam kat Cameron Highlands je...

Apart from museum, there was a nice cafe to try out

Some exhibit items related to green tea


And a nice garden to lepak!

Twenty minutes continued to the north, we visited Hallim Park, an 80-acre wasteland turned into green park. It consists of 9-themes that include gardens of subtropical botanic, palm tree avenue,  wild grass and flower garden and stone and bonsai garden that caught our attention. It is worth to visit Hyeopjae and Ssangyong cave. We spent almost 2 hours in this park before continue to stop at the nearby beach.

Cold air blown even though it was midday when we stopped for pictures on the beach.



Crystal-clear blue ocean yet it was so cold

Yet another interesting show was The Ma Horse performance featuring Mongolian riders story lining the historical and mythical of Jumong. We got the chances to feed the horses too!

Then, we were taken to a glass theme park call Jeju Glass Castle, which is a must! We experienced the first glass-labyrinth in the world that exhibited more than two hundred items made from glass.

Hope one day we will able to visit this place...

and this place...

and this too!

I'm stronger than you!












After the visit to Jeju Glass Castle, we headed back to the hotel. But the day was just not over yet. We visited the Ripley's Believe It or Not! located nearby.

Journey Review

Thinking of the same idea as what Zarin did in his wrapping up post, I'll do the same for the sake of my own record.  This post will be updated from time to time. Some of the trip may have a  specific write-up  and you may click on the travelling month. Here is the world travel map, courtesy of TripAdvisor. A bit of Statistics: Total countries visited = 22/195 [Last updated : September 2023] Our Travel Map. [Courtesy of TripAdvisor. According to them, we only covered 13% of the Earth at the moment :P .... still long way to go and we didn't show USA map as to when we will be there]

Singapore Trip: A lion-city escapade

Watch out! It is a zika-free :P trip to the city of light that we had on the 2nd mid-term school holiday, apart from the 'balik kampung' to Ipoh and JB on both week end. My wife managed to secure a stay for 2 nights at the 'Rumah Peranginan Persekutuan' where it supposed to be a big family trip with my siblings.  It was a big vacation house, which I believe can cater at least 15-20 people. For some reasons, they had to turn it down. Note: Pictures taken are not in the best quality as I'm still get my hands on the new DSLR camera.. wink.. wink..

Shopping sakan di Langkawi

Kenangan bersama mak... Bulan januari yang lepas, rombongan keluarga Perak buat trip ke Melaka. Sekarang giliran keluarga Johor pulak pegi berjalan.. errr bershopping sakan di Langkawi. Kalau nak diikutkan, gambar tengah syiok bershopping lagi banyak. Tapi takde sapa yang snap gambar . Hujung minggu kali nie serentak dengan Tahun Baru Cina.. ALhamdulillah dapat kumpulkan adik-beradik bersekali ngan mak ayah, buat trip ke Langkawi. Cuma keluarga adik yang bongsu pergi lebih awal. Dapat la die snap gambar kat Langkawi airport. Pagi hari pertama kami ke KLIA dan tinggalkan kereta kat sana. Takut terlebih2 shopping masa balik nanti, payah pulak nak sewa van. Jadi kami bawak kereta memasing. Kadar parking lebih kurang RM150 untuk 4 hari 3 malam. Bila buat kira2, lebih kurang je dengan sewa teksi pergi balik ke KLIA.
