Hey readers, so this is the continuation of days 1 and 2 in Korea. If you would like to read the first blog post I had posted about Korea, here's the link :
Here are the various links of my Korea Trip:
Anyways, I'm really in love with the hotel we were staying in Jeju!! The first night in Jeju was so peaceful and thankful I slept throughout and didn't wake up a lot of times!! (I usually wake up the most during the first night when I'm in overseas). However, I woke up feeling cold and from the sound of the rain. Yes, it rained and it was even colder. >< Thankfully there was heater in the bathroom, if not it'll be very difficult for me to shower in such a cold weather. XD
P.S: The hotel we stayed in Jeju was
JK Ramada Encore Jeju Hotel
It was 04:56AM and the streets was extremely dark!!'
07:10AM : Heading to have breakfast at the hotel!
We had breakfast buffet at Doctor's Kitchen
And yes, it was time for me to walk around the restaurant to take pictures of the dishes.
HAHAHA YES I AM THAT THICK-SKINNED.
The drinks that they have!!
THEY HAVE CEREAL TOO OMG MY HEAVEN!! <3
AND BREAD TOO. WHAT IS THIS ASDFGHJKL
AND WHAT MORE AND MORE FOOD????
AND KOREAN FOOD TOO? Oh ya, because we're in Korea. HAHAHA XD
AND SALAD TOO??
Oh yogurt and fruits too!!
My breakfast wooo!!
Abalone Porridge with some seaweed on top yo!!
08:04AM : Right after breakfast, we waited at the hotel lobby and oh wow, it's 8°C
Errr.. toilet selfie...?
08:08AM : Off to our first destination of the day!!
After breakfast, time check 08:12AM. Head up to the bus to visit different places in Jeju!!
Picture of the rain drops on the bus window, because it looked so aesthetic!!
HAHAHA I'M SUPER LAME GUYS, I'M SO SORRY!! XD
09:04AM. Reached our first destination, Jeju Orange Tree Plantation to pick some Jeju Oranges!!
Took picture with the sign board XD
So many Jeju Orange Trees, wahh!! *.*
Picture under this swing with Jeju Orange Tree surrounded!!
But omg the camera angle.. ;-;
Hello Ajumma!!
Dad wasn't there at that moment, so mum helped me to take this picture hehehe.
Omg I can't stand the state of my bangs... ;-;
Because of the heavy rain last night, some oranges that dropped on the ground was swollen already.
So we can't eat that.. ):
Mother Nature <3
Back-view of the backyard where the Jeju Orange Trees grow~~!! ^o^
Last few pictures of the Jeju Orange Trees
Picture (kinda) under the hut and a partial picture of a Jeju Orange Tree!! XD
Back to pick more oranges and eat them on the spot!!
Acted like I was picking that Jeju Orange, but actually I didn't really pick them because I CAN'T DECIPHER IF THE ORANGES ARE SWEET OR NOT.
Also, we are not allowed to pick huge oranges, and I'm not sure about the reason. XD
EH GUYS!! MY FLOWER POSE IS BACK YO HAHA
Picture with mum (kinda) under a Jeju Orange Tree. <3
Saw Canola Flowers (油菜花) outside of the garden!!
Just enjoying the cooling weather before heading to the shop where they sell Jeju-related food YAY
08:18AM. Heading into the shop after taking pictures at the garden!!
Time to buy some snacks from Jeju!!
They even sell Jeju Orange Juice at 4,000won ($5SGD) !!
TESSA IF YOU EVER READ THIS BLOG POST, GO KOREA AND DRINK THE JEJU ORANGE JUICE AGAIN!! IT'S SO GOOD MAN OH MY..
They sell sweets in different types of flavours,
but we didn't buy that because we do not usually eat them. XD
THEY EVEN SELL THE JEJU ORANGES OMG!!
They had snack bars and chocolates of different flavours too!!
Ohoh, they had dried oranges too!!
It tasted really good but I'm not really a fan of dried products so we didn't buy that HAHAHA
They sold cute keychains too, but we didn't have time to choose and buy them. >:
09:42AM. Heading to our next destination!!
We drove past a Canola Flower plantation!!
Our tour guide, Jackie, told us that we'll visit it
after completing hiking at our destination we were heading to! ^o^
We're almost reaching our destination!!
09:46AM. Welcome to Seongsan Sunrise Peak!
09:48AM. Took a picture of the rock that was translated from Chinese, Seongsan Sunrise Peak!
09:50AM. Walking to the counter to purchase our tickets!!
Oh my.. The open field of grassland :oo
09:54AM. Let's hike up to the top of the mountain!! WE CAN DO THIS!!
09:55AM. GOGOGO MUM YOU CAN DO IT, IT AIN'T THAT HARD!! 💪
View on the ground level. XD
10:00AM. We're climbing!!
View after climbing a few steps. XD
I disliked this part the most because climbing up the stairs was super duper cold
due to the strong wind. YOU CAN TELL HOW DISCONTORTED MY FACE WAS.
YES, BECAUSE IT WAS EXTREMELY COLD!!
Never-ending flight of stairs. Kidding, we made it to the first level in 2(?) minutes! HAHAHA
We're supposed to always keep towards our right while ascending towards the peak!!
10:02AM. View on the first level?? HAHAHA
Climbing more flights of stairs!! Hurhurhur
Well, at least it isn't that cold anymore!! ^.^
10:12AM. View on the second level I guess?? HAHA
Back view photo because why not right? 😏
This expression was made on purpose, representing my mum after climbing a long flight of stairs.
HAHAHA I LOVE YOU MUM <3
I like how some of my hair were standing up and it made me look like chicken little HAHAHA
ALMOST REACHING THE TOP!! (I think)
10:15AM. Third level??
10:18AM. Pano view at the observatory area. Getting closer to the peak!! ^o^
Why not take back view again right? XD
Back to climbing up after resting for about 1 minute!
10:20AM. Before reaching the peak, we encountered very steep and narrow stone steps and
honestly, I kinda had difficulties climbing up. XD
Climb climb climb, reaching reaching. Don't give up!!
10:20AM. AND YES WE MADE IT TO THE TOP!
Because my parents, especially my mum, had used most of their energy climbing to the top,
it's definitely a must to take a picture of them here!
To show that they've climbed all the way to the peak!!
SO PROUD OF YOU MUM DAD <3
And yes, of course, I felt accomplished that I climbed lots of stairs and made it to the top.
Thankfully I go gym, if not I won't be able to make it to the peak man. HAHAHA
Picture on the top!! *.*
Family picture as a form of memory!!
Yesyes, me being the photographer. :DD
Last few pictures of me at the top!!
10:28AM. Last few pictures before climbing down to the place where we started. XD
10:35AM. Officially leaving the peak!! ):
10:44AM. We are reaching to the bottom. XD
YESYES FLOWERS *.*
Probably the last back view picture at Seongsan Sunrise Peak HAHAHA
I blame the strong wind for my messy hair in the picture HAHAHA.
But I don't really care about it soooo.. ((:
10:50AM. Walking back to the bus carpark.
10:55AM. JEJU ORANGE JUICE!!
I should at least try the Jeju Orange Juice in Jeju right? :DD
11:05AM. Next, we headed to take the Submarine!
11:12AM. Where we took a mini boat that brings us to where the submarine is!
SO MANY SEAGULLS AT THAT CRUISE SHIP!! :oo
Heading into the mini boat!! XD
11:30AM. We've reached the place where we will see the aquatic life in the submarine!!
Picture with the submarine, why not right? XD
Heading into the submarine!!
10:38AM. In the submarine, and it's going underwater!! (oh you don't say gerry.. facepalm)
It's quite disappointing because the pictures are not clear and the water isn't that clear so we can't really see a lot of fishes in the deep blue sea.. ):
HAHAHA MY DAD TOOK THIS PICTURE. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT UNTIL I SAW IT.
Can't really see the fishes!! )):
CORAL REEFS!!
And yeah, you know who's the cameraman for this picture. XD
MORE CORAL REEFS!!
12:05PM. The submarine moving up, returning back to the water surface.
Hello mum!! 💖
What is bangs? Bang bang bang isit? XD
Oooh a different type of submarine!! XD (a bigger one, in fact)
12:10PM. Here comes the mini boat!! XD
12:32PM. Back to where we came from. XD
So my parents bought the family photo that they took for us at 10,000won!
Well, it comes with a photo frame so it's worth it when you wanna put it at your desk area. 😏
Hello Grandfather Stone Statue!! (dol hareubang)
And yes, this is me posing with my awkward hands, while waiting for my mum. XD
12:44PM. Off to the next destination!
12.46PM. We've reached the Canola Flower plantation to take some photos there!
And there are cute horses!! ><
Time to take some pictures, yes? :DD
Thank you Sammy for helping us take these pictures!!
Another ajumma, anneyong!! 👋
Why not help my parents take picture with this ajumma also right? XD
HAHAHA DAD OMG 😂
Errr.. quite weird for me to sit there right? HAHAHAH FML.
This fits more for my parents than me. HAHAHA GUYS IT'S TRUE OKAY SMH.
Last few pictures at the plantation!
Picture with mum 💕
Pano of the plantation, why not right? XD
01:08PM. Heading to the next destination!!
01:15PM. Reached the place where we will have our lunch!
Lunch for the day : Black Pork
They have other vegetables as well, such as kimchi, yellow radish, black beans, bean sprouts, etc.
THIS IS SO MOUTH-WATERING. I'M HUNGRY GUYS!! ><
Ohoh, they have a bowl of rice as well as seaweed soup too!!
01:54PM. Finished lunch and decided to enjoy the cooling weather in Jeju.
Yes, I'm the only crazy one who likes the extremely cold weather there. XD
The flowers are blooming isit? XD
02:00PM. Heading to the next destination after a filling lunch! 😋
02:54PM. Reached our next destination, Play K-Pop.
Hello G-Dragon!!
MY BIAS IN BIGBANG, T.O.P *.*
There are 3 floors at Play K-Pop, with different facilities that singers used,
such as singing studios, dance studios and yes many more!!
Jackie gave each of us a card where we can use it to
try out the facilities and the photos will be stored into this card.
VERY COOL OKAY!!
02:58PM. Time to explore the place!!
The "Live 360 3D" Exhibition!!
It's so vintage-like. 😍
And we went to watch the PSYMAN Live 360 3D!
The show was about 15 minutes and it was honestly the coolest experience
where we were able to watch the show 360 degree!
(Very similar to the "Future of Us" exhibition in Singapore!)
Yes, so the whole time I was leggit spinning around and around to
view the whole environment of the show. And after that I was kinda dizzy because yeah, spinning for the whole 15 minutes isn't an easy thing to do okay. HAHAHAHA
Yesyes, Play-Kpop Guest Book!!
And I literally viewed all the albums and of course, I come across this awesome album.
The album I'll never get sick and tired of it. 💓
Star Lounge, where there are hand marks of various singers and it's displayed here!
If I'm not wrong, my hand is as big as Chan Hyuk Oppa from Akdong Musician.
Or is it Su Hyun Unnie from Akdong Musician? It's okay, they're both loves. 🙆
"Be The Star" Exhibition where we get to experience what the singers do on a regular basis!
HAHAHA IS IT RED CARPET?? 😂
Make-up session HAHAHA. Kidding guys, I don't put make-up, because I'm that lazy :x
So my dad decided to choose the most GANGSTER makeup for me.
AND OMG IT DOESN'T EVEN SUIT MEE!! ;-;
Anyways, this makeup room is super cool!!
But I'm not really used to so many spotlights at the side of the mirror HAHAHA
The outfits wore during various Music Videos by YG Groups, for instance,
2NE1 and BigBang!
These are the facilities they have at level 3!
And I decided to try the Dancing Room because I'm that shameless and thick-skinned. HAHA
I was T.O.P for a second then they changed me to G-Dragon. >:
Anyways, it was really a cool experience to be able to practice dancing session with famous YG Groups, especially my favourite boy group. 💗
VR Glasses where it takes us to see the studio!
How much technology has advanced that we can experience such stuff. 😭
Yes, this is the Dancing Room!
And the Broadcast Room!
The Recording studio, where the singers record their songs. (omg gerry common sense smh)
The place where the singers practice their choreography for their music video!
The "Meet The Star" Exhibition.
The "K-Pop History" Exhibition.
I think this area is the coolest part of the exhibition because you get to listen to the various genres of songs they played on different periods of the K-Pop Industry.
All you have to do is stand on the black circle and you can hear the types of songs they play during that particular period! COOL RIGHT!!
The various music genres!
The revolution of phones!!
To music players...
To video players...
To CDs...
OMG DAMN ANCIENT AND VINTAGE I CANNOT ><
Omg this exhibition was really amazing and insightful👍
I know most of the albums here HAHAHAHA
"Back To The Past" Exhibition
Reminds me of certain Korean Dramas when it was dated back during the 1990s(?)
Tha Hall of Fame. The singers are unfamiliar to me beause it wasn't during my generation. 😭
Top 100 K-Pop Groups!!
I've always liked them since they started as a group of 9 members. 💓
"Meet The Star" Exhibition
"Star Paparazzi" Section. (Yes I know you can see the reflection of me.)
The "Star Magic Bench" because it's when the star will appear on the bench.
Yeah it sounds kind of creepy but it's pretty cool too! 😂
And there's this little boy inside the telephone booth. HAHAHA CUTEE
The "Star Toy House" section.
The "Star Magic House" Section
The "Star Window". I must admit, I spend the most time here playing. Well, we get to select any member from different K-Pop Groups and they'll appear at the window. HOW COOL IS THAT!
03:50 PM : After visiting levels 2 and 3, I went to the first floor to check out the store!
03:54 PM : Last few pictures at Play K-Pop!
04:00 PM : Off to the next destination!
04:34PM : We arrived at the Mysterious Road. According to Jackie, the road is actually downhill but because of the trees and the surroundings, it seemed uphill. Thus, when the bus leaves the engine off, it will move up by itself. So it was thus called the "Mysterious" Road. To be honest, it was a pretty cool and unique experience. Moreover, I was kind of shocked and astonished when the bus moved upwards even when the engine was off. Like WAHHH (Yeah, dont judge guys, HAHAHAHA)
04:38PM : After visiting the Mysterious Road, we headed to our next destination.
04:42PM : We've arrived at our final and last destination, the Trick Art Museum and the Ice Sculptures Gallery. Both attractions are in the same building, so we saved travelling time as we would not be delayed by the traffic and stuff.
The Ice Sculpture Gallery is located on the first floor,
while the Trick Art Museum is located on the third floor!
04:45PM : We went to the Ice Sculpture Gallery first, cus' why not right?
I suggest you wear extra clothing because it was FREEZING COLD in there. We merely stayed for about 5 minutes and our hands started to feel SUPER cold and my head started to hurt a lot. HAHAHAHAHA TOO COLD FOR ME ALREADY.
04:48PM : When I went into the Gallery, I can feel the coldness inside there already. Oh my.. (":
Ooooh Dol hareubang at the entrance!!
Picture with an Ice Sculpture of the Grandpa Statue with mum!! <3
Inside this Snowman Igloo, annyeong~~!! HAHAHAHA XD
Can you spot my mum? XD
If you think that the inside of this igloo isn't cold.... IT'S SUPER COLD INSIDE OKAY.
Inside a "real" Igloo!!
Me when I sat down on this sofa, IT'S SUPER COLD OKAY MY BUTT DAMN COLD HAHAHA
I still smile anyways (((:
It'll be cool if my bedroom is in an igloo..
Actually nvm, I'll be freezing in coldness please HAHAHAHA
Last picture in that igloo~~!!
Different ice sculptures, much time and effort being put into carving these man!!
THUMBS UP!!
And then I found a racing car WOWWOW
(yeah you can tell from my facial expression how excited I was to drive a car HAHAHA)
Mum and dad!! <3
Last picture before we head out, BECAUSE WE WERE FREEZING COLD HAHAHA
Heart heart <3
04:58PM : After a short visit at the Ice Sculpture Gallery, we headed to the Trick Art Museum at level 3! I'm really amazed by how realistic and real the 3D art pieces are! ><
I keep laughing at this picture HAHAHAH DAD <3
I like how my dad's expression was like "I'm trying to save the boy" but I'm just there SMILING HAHAHA OH MY.. XD
Pewpewpew
I'm not sure if it's just me, but it feels so weird sitting on the ground for this HAHAHA
Okay, keep scrolling for more pictures at Trick Art Museum.
When someone's WAAAYY taller than you and you're just like...
I guess you can roughly estimate how tall I am XD
The beetle looks quite disturbing but hey, look at the 3D effect yo
Don't I look cool? HAHAHA KIDDING KIDDING
So I came across this and I was wondering how does this even work.
Ya, I was super blur and stun okay HAHA
And my dad demonstrated it to me HAHAHAHAHA HIS OWN STYLE SIA
And ya, I followed his style lur <:
And my mum too XD
Ooops HAHAHA
Surfing yo
And then you see my dad FREE-STYLE HAHAHAHA OMG
I think my mum was struggling to balance HAHAHA
Yes, save the dog and her puppies!!
My dad told me free style soooo....
Yeahhh....
Oh my, the 3D effect O_O
This was taken from the reflection of a mirror, yup how cool is that!
THIS IS SUPER DUPER COOL LIKE WAH SEH
Also my camera angle not bad ley HAHAHA
So this is an image illusion where the right side appears to be bigger in size than the left side.
This is because there is a slope between the 2 points.
And my dad decided to take picture of how I became smaller or bigger in size, so ya HAHAHA
MY PARENTS DAMN FUNNY I CANNOT HAHAHA
So it's been long since I rode a horse and...
Ya I became super high and happy about it HAHAHA
I guess it's quite squeezy for the two of them HAHAHA
Yesyes my favourite K-Pop Girl Group since primary school!!
I think if the cabbage was being thrown to me, I'll miss it and it'll hit until my face HAHAHA
Dad's free-style here a bit unrealistic HAHAHA
Yes mum das right XD
And I got excited over a motor truck hmm HAHAHA
And I was wondering how I'm supposed to hold the handle..... Oh my
BALLOT BALLOT FASTER
I think my team will still lose because I'm a really slow runner HAHAHA
HAHAHA SHI FU
Hello HAHAHAHA
Did you manage to spot me? (;
Future teacher material? HAHAHA
Red wine is guuud <:
Say yes to pizza yo
This is making me hungry rn.. HAHA
Oh my.. DAD... HAHAHA
05:50 PM : After exploring the Trick Art Museum! We found a very cute looking cafe! XD
05:56 PM : Say yes to ice-cream!
06:12 PM : It's time for dinner!
Dinner for the day : Seafood Sashimi Set
So in Jeju, it's another meal that has so many dishes on a table ^o^
THERE'S SUSHI TOO, YAY!!
The main course for dinner, SASHIMI!!
// of course we didn't eat it raw because my parents prefer it being cooked
So we put a packet of noodles into the boiling pot.
You have no idea how excited I am to eat the noodles in korea man XD
First bowl with vegetables yo
And yes, second bowl with sashimi BECAUSE I'M SO HUNGRY (:
OH YAS JONG KI OPPA!! <3 HAHAHA don't mind my fan-girling everybody <:
07:10 PM : After having a filling dinner, the night sky *.*
07:24 PM : Finally reached back the hotel, JK Ramada Encore Jeju Hotel!!
07:30 PM : We spend most of our money on Jeju Sweets and Biscuits XD
So day 3 was pretty hectic because we visited so many places in Jeju. Nevertheless, it was a great experience because I've visited different parts of Jeju and get to experience new things such as hiking up a mountain, seeing the aquatic life in a submarine, experiencing the bus moving uphill by itself and of course freezing myself by looking at ice sculptures. Well, it was a fun-filled day in Jeju and it was the last night staying in the JK Ramada Encore Jeju Hotel. Anyways, I'm really excited to share with you guys my adventures in Busan! See you guys in Day 4 blog post!
Take care~
~Geraldine (:
