Jeju day 2

as promised, canola flowers..! :) and windmill :P

visited too many locations on the 6th..this should be seongsan sunrise peak based on my itinerary notes but my pics looks more like Songak-san Peak here.. www.lifeinkorea.com/travel2/cheju/106/ ..a little confused :P but should be seongsan sunrise peak no doubt..according to my notes ":)

my favorite part of Jeju was the clean fresh air ":) and the weather was perfect..really cool at prob 8 degrees or lesser
its real scenic..pretty awesome views :)

and i thought the pics came out real nice ":)

Jeju

posting selectively on the itinerary..skipping some itinerary places..else the pics are going to be endless :) still on day one though..here's Yongdu-am

it was term break..so we see lots of korean students here on vacation at jeju

we had a pretty rushed 2-hour shopping at jeju underground shopping mall...

too little time and so little buys :(

11pm..last stop..er.. no winnings :)

Lunch @ Jeju 삼계탕- Samgyetang

gonna have slow updates..its crazy..i have over 1000 pics..more scenic pics that is :P thanks to my 8gb nokia and extra memory cards in my digital cam. ":)

this was our 1st eating stop at Jeju...the exterior doesnt quite look like a restaurant.




the ever popular ginseng chicken soup..just great for the cool weather :)

the Samgyetang is suppose to have health benefits..with lotsa medical herbs added. the soup was surprisingly mild..that was before adding the ginseng wine which i had 2nd helpings :p pretty filling with the glutinious rice, noodles and side dishes..

cherry blossoms were everywhere..this was taken at the backyard of the restaurant ":)

Stopover at Shanghai

backtrack abit..was at shanghai for a brief stopover on sat as there wasnt a direct flight to Jeju..slight drizzle here at a cool 7 degrees :)

this pic was taken at the hotel entrance..

morning at shanghai before heading to Jeju..its just an hours flight away :)

Cherry Blossoms @ Jeju, Korea
