DAY TWO


Day two was packed full with places to see cuz we sort of missed half a day cuz we couldn't get tickets to Jeju until evening.. by the time we reached it was too late to sight see.. so we visited many places and took many pictures (79 pics in this entry.. most from the Teddy Bear Museum.. to cute to not post them..) .. oh.. btw.. i'll be blogging about my Korea trip day by day.. cuz there are just too many pics.. 900 pics in all! obviously i'm not going to post them all lah..heh..


moving right along..


Day two started off with abalone porridge.. actually just porridge we couldn't really find the abalone... heh.. but either way.. breakfast was good the first morning.. by the 4 day i was starting to miss bread and strawberry jam!


After breakfast we headed to Long Tou Yuan this Dragon looking stone that was created after a volcanic eruption long long ago.. heh..


Can you see the Dragon?

on the other side of the little heap of stones is where the Korean Sea Women (have you heard of them?) catch their fish.. Its a long but dying tradition in Jeju Island where the women would dive to catch fish to sell.. nowadays younger girls don't want to do the job so when the older population of these sea women retire i guess then no one will do it anymore....... hmm..

can you see the buoys? that's where the ladies are diving..

and then selling their catch on shore! fresh seafood!
(and they eat it raw! have you guys seen how they eat raw octopus?wahahhaa)

Next we headed to the Fabel Land.. everything there has a story.. every rock formation every tree every stone has a story behind it.. the first one we saw was a wood carving of a couple.. apaprently they were married and the husband cheated on her with some cheap slut ( as always) and but then he fell sick and lost all his money, so without his health and without his money obviously the cheap slut wouldn't want to stick with him anymore lah! right?! common sense.. so he went crawling back to his wife begging for forgiveness.. and the wife being a good wife took him back.. the moral of the story? your wife is always the best, she will always stand by you through thick and thin... =) i didn't make this up.. this was what Michael ( the tour guide.. remember his name.. haha) said....... maybe he was the one who made it up.. i dono.. heh

The couple

Next was these two circular stone blocks on the floor, the bigger circle is where the guy stands and the smaller circle is where the girl stands.. a newly wed couple should stand on it with their hands behind their backs lean forward forhead to forhead and then kiss.. it would then mean that they would be together forever.. heh... if only it were that easy!

This is how its done

This is how my parents did it.. wahaha!

heh.. cute right? the whole park is quite eery cuz its really quiet and so many stories.. hahaa.. although they are just fabels.. if there was no fire there wouldn't be smoke right? so there must have been some truth in them.. heh.. anyhow.. next stop the Crater!

This crater is a dead volcano.. i don't know what the correct term is.. but it used to be a volcano.. and then now its a crater.. aparently its really nice at the top.. but it was too early to climb up so high so i didn't get to see.. it would have taken me one day to climb to the top.. but my father and brother made it to the top.. only thing is.. they forgot the camera.. so no pics..... bah..

See? its so high!

after that.. we headed for lunch! guess what we had! Jeju Island's special black pork! it was really delicious and we were all enjoying ourselves until after lunch when we realised what the pigs in the olden days ate..... bleugh...... shan't tell you just in case you are eating at the moment..

Can you guess?

after lunch and after my parents blew off a few hundreds on royal honey and this 5 flavour tea ( which is spooky i tell you.. just by drinking the tea you'll know what's wrong with your body.. if you taste only sweet then you have something wrong with your digestive system, if you taste sour then you haven't had enough sleep.. i forgot the rest.. but a healthy person should be able to taste sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty) and ling zhi... we headed to the Tian Di Yuan Waterfall..

on the way there was a water fountain where you throw coins at the animal that represents what you desire.. heh.. we had fun there.. look what we did..
