So glad I changed my flight to come back in time to catch the CN Blue concert. Yes I like CN Blue that much. As usual, CN Blue did not disappoint and I had so much fun cheering and singing-along to bits and pieces of the songs which I knew in the 2 hours and 10 minutes concert. Obviously I fanchant the bits that I know. … Continue reading CN Blue Can’t Stop Tour Singapore 2014 Concert Post Mortem
I’ve been trying to visit the DMZ (Demilitarised Zone) and Panmunjom, Joint Security Area (JSA) for a few times now and on my previous trips to Seoul, my reservations got cancelled because of one reason or another due to some military/North Korean activity. I took the full day tour where I visited Imjingak, the 3rd Tunnel and the JSA/Panmunjom. It was 130,000 won per person. I … Continue reading Seoul Adventure: DMZ, 3rd Tunnel, Panmunjom and Joint Security Area
I dropped by Nami Island on this trip to Seoul as well. Mostly because I have heard many people say that it is a nice place so I thought why not? Nami Island is about 2 hours or so outside Seoul and you can get there pretty easily by the Seoul subway/ITX train system. Here’s a route map on how to get there: 2014.5.11 | 지도 크게 … Continue reading Seoul Adventure: Nami Island and How to Get There
I finally made it to the Changdeok Palace (Changdeokgung) for a visit after having been to Seoul so many times. It’s pretty worth a visit especially together with the tour of the Secret Garden. The Changdeok Palace is also a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site and from the little that I remembered from what the tour guide said during the free English guided tour, the last … Continue reading Seoul Adventure: Changdeok Palace and The Secret Garden
After visiting the Manjanggul Cave, we drove for an hour or so to Seongsan Ilchubong, another UNESCO Natural Monument. According to all the travel blogs and guides I read, sunrise and sunset at Seongsan Ilchubong is supposed to look amazing but you need to get there before 7 am KST which means we need to set off from our guesthouse in Jeju City at about … Continue reading Jeju Island Adventure: Seongsan Ilchubong
Among the few natural attractions that I went to on Jeju Island, I like the Manjanggul Cave the best. While it might not look like much, I think it is a super cool place because it used to be where molten hot lava was flowing through. Sorry, Geography geek in me is very excited. #NotSorry XD Also, along the walls of the tunnel, you can … Continue reading Jeju Island Adventure: Manjanggul Cave
We headed over to see the Dragonhead Rock early in the morning before we headed over to the Manjanggul Cave. It was another one of those, “that’s it?” when you see the actual rock. LOL. This rock is apparently a must see when in Jeju Island but I’m not clear as to why and I’m just going to see the rock coz it’s a mandatory/obligatory … Continue reading Jeju Island Adventure: Dragonhead Rock
After visiting the Jeongbang Waterfall, we headed over to Cheonjiyeon Waterfall because it was nearby despite the rain. The Cheonjiyeon Waterfall is basically a sequence of 3 waterfalls which are really near to each other. Truth is, I went to take a look at the Cheonjiyeon Waterfall because it was a UNESCO World Heritage site. And like the Jeongbang Waterfall, I looked at it and … Continue reading Jeju Island Adventure: Cheonjiyeon Waterfall
Jeongbang Waterfall is supposedly the only waterfall in Asia which falls directly into the ocean so we headed over there as soon as we arrived in Jeju Island. However, luck wasn’t on our side and it was raining when we got there so the view was like “meh”. The waterfall itself was just alright to me. I’ve seen nicer and more majestic waterfalls so I … Continue reading Jeju Island Adventure: Jeongbang Waterfall
Another must eat in Jeju Island is their seafood; sashimi, soup, bbq, whatever. My Korean colleague was recommending that I try the sea urchin soup but the random restaurant that I walked into along the road leading to the Seongsan Ilchubong didn’t have the sea urchin soup so I went with their seafood soup. OH. MY. GOD. I could SMELL the sweetness of the seafood broth … Continue reading Jeju Island Adventure: Seafood Soup
