----------------------------------

First day.

Flight. The feeling of having wind under your legs is exhilerating and refreshing. We don't get to fly every now and then aye?

Took the plane at 12.55am, jinghao,weiloong,bingxun and polyn (not sure how to spell) sent me off. After transitting at Shang Hai, i reached Jeju Island, Korea, at roughly... 11am singapore timing. Oh btw, the time difference is that its an hour faster here.

Met my tour guide and then went to visit some tourists attractions. Jeju island was formally under water many years ago, but now it has surfaced. It has a few volcanos on the island. This explains for the weird black rocks that surrounding the island, those were hardened lava. Firstly, i went to see this rock that looks like a dragon. Afterwhich, was spent cycling around the coast of Jeju Island. Fun! Though i was freezing!

We then went to this 'mysterious road'. Given its name, i'll have to explain - it looks upward sloping, but its actually downwards haha. I tried to testify against it by walking, putting a water bottle, spilling water and sitting in the tour bus that's switched off. But it all flowed or moved towards the upward slope that's actually downward sloping. And i'm still FREEZING. Good thing we went to eat hot steamy gingseng herbal chicken later. okay, on day 1 i was really under prepared for the weather. Its around 6 degrees and long johns + polo shirt + sweater = die! (from the cold that is)

Spent the night walking around the shopping districts.

I ate raw sea cucumber, (killed on the spot!), which was really hard and tasteless! Lol unlike the dried brown ones we normally eat in Singapore.

Oh! And my tourguide cannot talk english!!! Argh, but she can talk chinese, cantonese, korean, hokkien and one more. Forgot about it. Haha

PICTURES!

This is at the Airport. They came to send me off. Aww how sweet.
