Jeju Island Trip

5.22 - 5.24.2015

It has been a long way around for me to land Jeju Island.

I would say..took me an year to go.

I have tried 5 times to go to Jeju Island last year, 

but somehow God have stopped me..and had to cancel it. 

I would say, it was much easier for me to go to Japan than Jeju.

So, I went to Osaka last year.

This year, I tried... and nervous about getting canceled again due to an emergency work, 

or other happenings. But!! Finally God allowed me.

It wasn't just a trip, but it was a trip for my soul to rest.

The only thing I booked was an airplane ticket and a rental car.

NO search ahead, just heading where the wheel takes me.

Def. the best beach in Jeju-better than Hyup-jae 협재해변)

It's the place to see the sunrise, but I think it's also a great place to go in the

afternoon, when it's bit cooler in the daytime.

@ 이호테우 해변 E-ho-tae-woo beach)

Right across from the beach, ISLAND FACTORY is a great, hot-place

to visit for a coffee/bar/bakery.

Guesthouse host mentioned that the 4 guys who runs the place are

raised in Jeju and very passionate what they are doing.

I heard there are only 3 Latin bands in S. Korea.

One of them are "South Carnival" 사우스카니발

who are originated in Jeju Island. 

There are 9 members and every single of them are so professional, fun and very

very talented. I can tell they LOVE the music.

I was amazed that they are raised in Jeju. I would have thought

they have studied abroad and came back couple months for concert.

But no-they even made music in Jeju-country language.

It was blast.
