Why Does It Always Rain On Me?

World Eros Museum and the Museum of Sex and Health
Even though here were many things I wanted to see on Jeju Island my cold was in full swing. Therefore, I knew I wouldn't be getting to even half of the places on my list. Instead, I decided to focus on the erotic ...
Paraiso
... ; Ttang- keut was pretty good fun. Not many people / tourists, which seems to be a rarity for anywhere worth visiting in Korea. The weather was glorious and the views were worth the 3-hour-plus bus journey down. I even ate sang-nakji, ...
Jeju island

Unusual shapes, amazing coastline
... , despite the rain, we decided to go and see what we had planned. We have found the Tourist Information Offices in South Korea to be excellent. In most cases, there is someone who can speak English, but in every case, the staff have been ...
Thursday
... see the world's largest lava column at the end of the tunnel. We left (taking a taxi down the road) and hopped on the bus bound for Seogwipo (3,000) in the south. We got on the bus at 16:55 and got there at 18:42. From there we took a 15 minute bus ride ...
Fun and games (and bugs) on Jeju
"The Hawaii of Korea". The preferred honeymoon destination for newlywed Koreans. It all sounds very romantic, doesn't it? The Jeju that we experienced was beautiful and raw, derelict and deserted, over the top and bizarre, unsurprisingly touristy and ...
Paradise Korean Style
This beautiful island about 45 mins flying from Busan is the most southern point of Korea, and although most days, including our time there, are cloudy, it still has alot of natural and artistic beauty which make some parts absolutely ...
Diving on Jeju Island
... , a large island created by extinct volcanos. This was my second trip to Jeju since I visited in October of 2011 during my first trip to Korea. I did most of the tourist stuff then, so it was nice to go back and see a different side of the island. Getting ...
Mountain Man, Ocean Women
Good Ol' Soggy Po (saegwi-po). Well I pretty much escaped Jeju city (the entry and exit point to the island) as fast as possible and hit the other side of the island. Nice choice as there's lots of cool stuff to see on this side of the island. Was ...
Friday
Friday was a day to hike Mt. Hallasan. Clair and Rob picked us up in Clair's car at the E-Mart that was connected to the World Cup Stadium where our jjimjilbang was. They had picked us up some kimbap too, thank goodness. We bought a sandwich and some ...
Day 6- SCUBA in Seogwipo
I have settled into my hostel in Seogwipo. Jeju Hikers Inn is just down the street from the German owned dive shop that I went out with yesterday. I urge all SCUBA inclined travelers in Jeju to stop by Big Blue 33. ...
A day on the other side of Jejudo
... Cheonjiyeon Waterfall (yes, only one letter difference in the name). When we got off the bus it was in the town of Seogwipo where there are many resort hotels lining the cliffs above a pretty little fishing harbour. We finally found the path to the falls ...
It never rains, but.....
... for Korean honeymooners and Chinese tourists (no visa required and endless duty-free shopping) it also has the reputation of beings Korea's Hawaii because of the climate. Not so during our short stay! Certainly hordes of Chinese tourists, a rather tacky ...

Korean Car Hire Time

Jeju Love Land and the End of Summer 2011
... is a rather conservative country and this park along with the sex museums definitely go against the grain of what most people think Korea is like. Even though Jeju Island has lots of other attractions I wanted to see, I was ...
The "White Sand" Beaches of Jeju Island

Island hopping
... . The trip home was a big more bumpy as the wind blew up the seas to a choppy swell. The rain kept away until we reached Seogwipo, and down it came again. We leave for the mainland tomorrow. Hope we get some warmer weather. ...
Good-Bye, Jeju! (Just Kidding...)

Spectacular extinct volcano tuft
... is that it is the only waterfall in Asia that falls directly into the sea (that's what they say). The views of the nearby Seogwipo port and an unknown island were well worth a look too. Jeju-do (island) is a really great place to visit. We ...
Bustration
... to find out what was specifically special about Seogwipo. Maybe next time, or maybe I could just translate the brochure. At the Seogwipo bus station, I bought a ticket back to Jeju City, and the man selling the tickets pointed at a bus. I went and sat on ...
"Herb" Monument and EPIK Waterfalls
