day 21: the hawaii of korea




We arrived in Jeju a little early, and caught a taxi to the Ho’s house. It was pouring down sun, and we were sweating up a storm. Because we hadn’t showered for about 2 days, we went over to the bath house and had one of those Korean style wash downs. Then Jean informed me of a room that they have that you can go sleep in if you want. I was totally up for that since I pulled an all-nighter. Emily joined us for a little bit, but then she had to go to work (at a dog restaurant). we went and saw this lava rock that looked like a dragon and tried to rent a Vespa. They don’t like foreigners driving their things, so they wouldn’t allow us to take it. (and they think that we are the bad drivers...) lastly ,we went swimming at the beach, which is way warm. The bad thing is that its near the port, so its extremely dirty. And to top off the night, we bought some apples and watched a drama that revolved cooking pork. Only in Korea would you see a drama about finding the best pork chef.
