Seopjikoji

Seopjikoji or famous with its name All In House is one of the most famous sites in Jeju Island specially to foreigners. Chinese love this place because their favorite drama like All In is filmed here. Seopjikoji is located at the end of the eastern shore of Jeju-do Island. "Seopji" is the old name for the area, and "Koji" is Jeju dialect meaning a sudden bump on land.



The way going to all-in house.


Here's the All-in House where foreigners come to see. It's on the hill by the beach.


I love this picture of the sky that I've taken when we went there.


Besides from the house it also has a beautiful view.

Not only all-in is filmed here but also lots of famous korean drama and programs on TV.

Sangumburi

There are over 360 parasitic volcanoes on Jeju Island most of which have no craters. Those that do have craters shaped like upturned bowls or horseshoes. However Sangumburi Crater which was formed by an explosion without the ejection of lava or volcanic ash has one single hole known as the Marr crater. It is the rarest type in Korea and indeed the world.





Sangumburi Crater was designated as Natural Monument No. 263, the reason being that the plants growing inside the crater have been isolated even from the plants in Mt. Halla. Because of this phenomenon, they have become valuable resources for studying the geographical distribution of plants. Add this from the priceless value of the crater itself for geological study and you can see why Sangumburi crater is so unique.

Sangumburi is located in Gyorae-ri, Jocheon-eup, Jeju City 400 meters above sea level with an exterior circumference of 2,067m and an interior circumference of 756m. Its height is 438m, its depth 132m and it is 300,000m².About 450 species of plants grow in Sangumburi. On the exterior sides of the volcano are pampus grass colonies, producing a spectacular fall display. The interior slope of the crater shows a wide range of vegetation with seasonal variations depending on the amount of sunlight.







Sangumburi crater is regarded as having a high academic value because of the well preserved Ligustrum ovalifolium community, Orixa japonica community, Adonis multiflora community and Eranthis byunsanensis community which are rarely found anywhere else.

The crater is also well-known as a habitat for various wild animals ranging mammals including roe deers and badgers, to birds and reptiles.

The beautiful that you can also enjoy while walking with loveone, family or friends.









You know that you are in Sangumburi if you see this cones or bell shapes outside.

Have a Safe Trip

I always miss travelling when I see planes. I love traveling and I like taking planes eventhough I feel nervous when I'm on it so I pray several times or keep praying until I reach my destination. I've been to many countries and I've been on a plane for many times so you won't be surprised if I tell you that I've also met many strange people while flying.

It's too tiring to be on the plane. Besides it's also irritating when you are with naughty kids, noisy women or drunken men. Sometimes there are also rude passengers who take off shoes when they know that they have stingy smell feet. It's really hard to avoid these kind of passengers but we can't complain. Imagine being on the plane for many hours with them. Ugh!

I wish I can have a private air travel. And it seems like my wish will come true soon through private jet cards. Nothing is impossible with the Planeclear Jet Charter Memberships. It is safe and reliable. Free from terrorists and free from rude passengers. Check it out now and see how you can save up to 50%. Have a safe trip to all of us!

Gwagji Beach

Located in Aewol-eup Gwagji-ri, Gwagji Beach is famous specially for foreigners. It is 30 minutes drive from the City so it's the best place to relax. The beach is famous from its good taste of mineral water coming up from under the sea so people long time ago were very thankful for it. But now, the water don't use for drinking. In summer, the water is so cool that every tourists can enjoy swimming.

The beach is also a great place to watch the sunset.





The beach is most famous for its Open-air Public Bath or for Korean, it's called the "Gwamul Nocheontang".



Like open-air public bath, the ladies room is also separated from men's room.





The entrance for the ladies room.



For men's room.



Here's what inside the ladies section. It's more beautiful in the summer because there seems like a waterfall inside.





You can just also relax inside the public bath without taking a bath.



Outside the public bath are figures of black pigs which are famous in Jeju. By the way, you should try black pigs samgyopsal or barbecue if you visit Jeju-do.



Here's another symbol of Gwagji Beach where tourists love to take pictures.



Here's the beach.



And here's where you can see lots of seaweeds.

The Foggy Road

My hubby wanted to eat Sweet and Sour Pork so we checked on the net and searched for Chinese Restaurant. We saw one so we decided to hit the road to Jin Si Hwang Restaurant. According to the navigation it took 37 minutes to the restaurant but still we went there because we were craving for chinese food. The 37 minutes took us more than an hour because of the foggy road. We couldn't see the road. I was so worried but my hubby comforted me. He said he would drive slowly and safely. Actually, I could see that he was also worried. He said it was his first time in his life. It was another memorable experience in Jejudo. It seems like the cars weren't moving. Sometimes we had to stop for a second because the fog was blocking us. Finally, we arrived at the restaurant. My hubby told me to eat slowly because we had to wait for the fog to disappear or lessen. Thanks God because after dinner, the road started to clear and we arrived home safely.

Got Shot Because of Sore Eyes

I woke up in the morning with painful eyes. I asked my hubby if we had medicine for sore eyes because my eyes were sticky and I couldn't open them. My hubby got up and told me to prepare to go to the hospital. We went to the nearest hospital in a small town and to our surprise, there wasn't any ophthalmologist. The receptionist said that I can get a check up and they can give me precriptions for medicine. I met the doctor. He asked something about my eyes and the nurse brought me to the other room where they gave me a shot. Ouch! I don't know what that shot for. I didn't know they also give shot for sore eyes. It was my first time, anyway.

We bought the prescribed medicine and went home. After few hours, my hubby told me to go to the ophthalmology in the city. We found a good ophthalmologist in the city. He examined my eyes and the nurse was about to give me a shot but I told her that I got shot in the hospital. I also showed the medicines that we bought. They prescribed us different medicines and I felt relieved after taking the pills and putting some eye drops in my eyes.

My eyes were sored for two days. After 3 days they were fine. A little bit red but not painful anymore. Thanks God! It was really uncomfortable to work with eyeglasses indoor.

Jejudo Horse Pastureland

Although it seems like horses have been bred since long time ago in Jeju Island, it is not certain exactly when horse breeding began due to the lack of related evidence or records. However, horse breeding became a full-scale business during the reign of Wonjong of the Goryeo Dynasty when people from Yuan, mostly nomads, came to Jeju Island to start ranches.

Jeju horses are rather small but physically and mild in temper. They can also easily adapt themselves to different areas and thrive on rough fodder.

Since horses have a strong resistance and survival capability on land, they are used in agriculture and transportation. Jeju horses have made an enormous contribution to the development of agricultural industry and culture in Jeju Island.



There are lots of horses and lots of people who came to visit to see the Jejudo Horses.



The nature and environment is also great and it made perfect with the horses.





Here's the contact number if you want to know more about the Pastureland.



Speaking of horses, Jejudo is famous for its Horse meat. There are many restaurants serving horses menu.

Muin Cafe Sanchek Owner

Is he the Muin Cafe Sanchek Owner? Is he caught in the act? It's my third time to visit the cafe. First, with my hubby next with my in-laws and then with my hubby's cousins. We introduced the cafe to them. They also liked it because it is a quiet place and it has good environment. It's a great place when you want to kill your time or take time to relax. It's great specially if you're with your loveone.

I just wondered at first how could there be coffee in pot whenever we come to visit. But then, while I was having brewed coffee, somebody came and made some coffee in the pot. He also cleaned the area of the cafe.

Here he is. Do you think he's the owner? Hmmmm... I guess so! I should've taken a picture of him when he's making some coffee but I think that was his privacy.





I wish him success!

Jeju 2002 FIFA Worldcup Stadium

It was new when I first came here. That was in June 2002. After 9 years, I came back again here in Jeju Worldcup Stadium located in Seogwipo City.



There was a match when we went there. But we came early so we didn't them played. The stafffs including the sports announcers were preparing for the game to start. I don't know if the game was free but we went inside without paying anything. Btw, I think I saw an ad that the tourists can enter the stadium for free.



The stadium looks old now but the entrance where the worldcup players remembrances were collected and displayed. It's so wonderful to see some stuffs used by the players during the 2002 Worldcup Game.



Look! Isn't it so cool? There are lots of stuffs displayed.



Clothes with signatures of the players.

Share your Photos

As you see, I have lots of pictures. I love taking pictures and I can't delete them on my computer. I don't even want to delete them on my camera but my camera is always full so I have to delete some. I love watching my pictures everytime I open my computer. They always remind me of the beautiful places that I've been. Also, the memorable experiences that I had in all the places that I've visited. I'm glad that I found a site where I can upload my photos easily. Btw, I don't take videos but I found out that I can also upload video so I think it's time to take videos from now on.

After uploading photos, it's time to create albums so it will be easier to find the photos that you're looking for. Specially if you're like me who have thousands of photos. They are photos that I've taken on my travel from Korea to other part of the World. Of course it's not fun If I won't share them to my family, friends and relatives. Thanks to this image hosting that I've just discovered on the net. At least I can share the photos of the beautiful nature that I've taken here in the Land of the Morning Calm and in some Asian countries.

If you're interested, check out the free images and you'll find what you are looking for.
