Korea final!

13/12/2011- Our breakfast! 



After a heavy breakfast, time for some exercise!



Notice we are wearing sunglasses because the sun is really scorning! (did I use the word correctly?) 

This is like the mascots of Jeju. If you touch these, you would be blessed with lots of kids. 

We are walking on these left overs of lava. It has been smoothed for easier walking by tourists.  






This supposed to look like something. If I remember correctly is supposed to look like a face. But it doesn't seem to me look like anything. 

 Finally we reached the top! :)



Next, the guide brought us to an orange farm. 

 Look carefully! Some of the oranges are fake! 

 I don't really like the oranges in Korea because it tasted sour!

So we bought back orange crackers and chocolate instead.

After that, we were bought to understand more of the history of Jeju Island.
So most of the work were done by the females in fact all of the work were done by the females instead of the males in the past. Like taking care of the kids, household chores like making kimchi etc.

The basket was for the male babies so that their mum can actually rock the babies to sleep. While the daughters if I remember correctly is sleep on the floor or something. The big jars is used to keep kimchi and normally is buried underground to keep them warm and moist. The white straps are carrying things, the females have to carry it to do the chores. So what the males do? Act like a king will do. Like seriously?  

This is my cute little cousin, okay he is not little anymore. He is like 14 already. And he is wearing my sunglasses! Isn't he look like Khalil Fong?! 

Khalil Fong looks super gorgeous in black glasses!  
 I like guys with nerdy spectacles. I wonder when did I have that weird habit. Don't you think guys with nerdy spectacles look super cute? Okay, that have to be depend what type of guys. Haha!

Wishing rock! It is made of lava rocks and it is belief that when you touched it and pray, your wishes would come true! 

Here I am with the wishing rock! I wish for my first  million dollars to come soon! 
The surrounded area by the rock is for rearing black boar. While the place where the little girl in purple is standing  is the toilet. So the shit would be eaten by the boar.
Another famous product of Korea is honey! And they are selling house bones for the calcium too! 

This is the door of an ancient house. If the sticks are put down means the owner is at home and guests are welcome! 

The mounding stones!  
The vase that used to collect rain! Frogs put in  to prevent stagnant of the water. And notice the hole in the vase? It is to prevent the vase from being filled so as to prevent the frogs from jumping out of the vase! Ha ha! How smart! 
Lunch!




After that we went for horse-riding! I think it is my first time on a horse! It is very exciting! :) Fun! :)



This is my horse's back! 
While there are some went to go-kart!

After which we went to glass castle! Everything is made of glass! Super cool!


Jack & the Beanstalk that long STALK! 




Heart shaped glass! 

Nice! :)
After that we went to bears museum! But I don't the photos! Bears are cute! :)

14/12/2011- Breakfast in hotel!  





Then we were brought to this mysterious road!







This looks like an uphill slope right? But in fact it is a downhill slope! 
Next we went to make kimchi!




Then we tried on Korean costumes! But again photos are not with me, facebook has the photos if you want to look at my pretty face. Ha ha!


Finally, our final destination was to climb a small hill to take a nice and final look at the beautiful and clear sky!























And we went to the sea!






Doesn't it shape like a dragon?




The Jeju mascots! 

Our last meal in Korea in airport!







Our final shopping in the airport! 

Bye bye Korea! 

Going to our next destination! Shanghai! :)
