1st stop: Tapdong Hobong Toast

Brekkie stop @ Tapdong!

Many types of sandwich for u to choose frm!

Hobong’s concept is really interesting.

The boss makes fresh sandwich on the spot!

Takes bout ten minutes on average!

Boss making the 'liao'

Looks like Rosti hor?

I ordered Special Hobong Toast!

Amazinggg taste of Hobong’s sandwich toast!

Really like the special sweet sauce & the liao inside.

Comparable to Subway!

More catered for my personal taste in fact!

If only S’pore has sucha toast, I wld buy it for my brekkie almost evryday!

Toastbox can close down liao man! :p

IT’S A MUST TRY!!!!

RATING:♥♥♥♥♥

2nd stop: Yongduam Rock (Dragon Head Rock)

There are many stories behind how dragon head rock came about.

One legend has it that a dragon stealing precious jade from Mt. Halla was shot down by an arrow from the mountain deity. When he fell down on Yongduam, his body immediately sank into the ocean and his head rapidly froze looking at the sky.

3rd stop: Field of Yellow Flowers

It’s our dream to be able to take photos in sucha beautiful field!

Finally, our dreams came true, all thanks to Richard! He drove us arnd to show us the surrounding sceneries & low & behold, we finally got here!

Happy max!

Helloooooooooooooo!!!!!

Cute? Haha.

Opposite the field of yellow flowers stands this REAL GOLD BUILDING!

Wall is constructed of real gold!! This is the true color of gold.

4th stop: Statue of Woman’s diver

We randomly chanced upon the statue of this woman’s diver, so got off the cab & posed abit with this statue. Hee.

6th stop: No Boss Cafe

Very interesting cafe concept.

Exterior layout of the cafe is pristine white & the interior design gives an overall clean & homely feel.

In the cafe, you are ur own boss. You make ur own coffees.

It’s entirely up to ur own discretion how much u wanna pay for the entire ‘NO BOSS’ experience!

7th stop: Jeju Glass Castle

Jeju Glass Castle is Korea’s largest glass art theme park!

There are six themed sections, displaying more than 350 pieces of glass artworks!

Most of the artwork are made of glass, such as Jack & the Beanstalk, Cinderella’s Glass heels and even the toilet are made of Glass too!

Entrance fee: 9,000 won

For the price, it is a bit tad too expensive!

RATING: ♥♥♥ and a half

Jack & the Beanstalk looks so magical!

Shooo Blingz!

Cinderella's Glass heels!

The Ladies Glass Toilet!

Bling Bling tree!

The whole cafe is full!

Their green tea ice cream & other desserts are all v popular!

YESSSSSS!!!

MY GREEN TEA TWISTER ICE CREAM!

I CAN'T WAIT TO LICK IT! *SLURPS*

There is now a newly opened O’sulloc green tea cafe in Myeong Dong!

But they don’t have the green tea twister ice cream. They only have the original green tea ice cream, priced at 7,500 won! Very ex!

Jeju’s O’sulloc green tea twister ice cream only cost 5,500 won!

Worth it to try at least once! ^^

9th stop: Late Lunch

We finally tried their famous HEI MAO ZHU ROU!!!

Really tasty!

Their fats are v chewy & taste shoooo good!

We oso ordered tail head fish along with free side dishes!

Tail head fish!

Orange Marcoli!

Nt too bad.

10th stop: Jeju Jet

Fantastic thrill & speed!

Really love the thrill of Jeju jet!

I tried capturing the entire Jeju jet experience, but sadly, I only captured the 1st minute of setting off!

There were many screams & bumps tho’! Hehehe.

And there were water splashes too!

But it jst spells even more FUN, FUN, FUN!

15-20 minutes for 25,000 won!

VERY WORTH IT I SAY!

I gave so much more stars here cos tt’s how much I love Jeju Jet!

RATING: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Setting off lo…

FUNNNN!

DAMN SHIOK EXPERIENCE ♥♥

11th stop: Jusang Jeollidae

Unique photographic experience!

Entrance Fee: 1,000 won

It will look even more magnificient if the waves come crashing against the rock, jst like the photo below!

12th stop: Jungmun Beach

Weather was gloomy! -.-

Jungmun Beach doesn’t looks that nice in Spring!

I think this place wld be filled with lotsa sea sports activities like windsurfing during Summer tho’!

I reckon beaches will always look much nicer & livelier during summer, with the seas reflecting the sun rays, coupled with the pristine clear blue sea water!
