Eating seafood in Jeju is a must. And i just browsed beside regular sashimi and raw stuffs, Jeju also famous with "갈치조림" or blade fish stew. So it kinda super long long thin fish cooked with spicy korean red sauce and served with hot rice #calivagoesdown HAHAA so every place serves it differently. So i just watched tv and saw one of the most famous programme 생방송 오늘저녁 today's dinner about jeju dining! What a coincidence.

Another beach review Jeju yoo! HAHA so so so these were our last beach in jeju located in the north eastern part of jeju these beaches are famous with the beach with wind turbines as the background photos

GIMNYEONG VISIT SCORE 7/10 - quite dirty and freaking boo the sand lil bit brown and ya just not really ( picture above)
WOLJEONGNI VISIT SCORE 9/10 - super clean, white sand, long seaside super comfy ( pictures below)
I just realize this area is kinda a luxury area looked at those palm trees made me feel like im in beverly hills #benergasih? #soksokan #gapernahkeamrik.

You can enjoy the beach but to be honest it not as pretty as hyeopjae our first beach

JUNGMUN
Now i have a new resolution, i have to make lots of money so i can stay here LOL
YESS FINALLY SUMMER HOLIDAY! Just came back from my holiday and yes in Korea, summer is like crazy holiday mood and this is where the main destination for tourist and also local for summer holiday, located in the southest part of Korea this small island just fascinating ♡ but if you join a group tour must be boring with teseum or hello kitty cafe and group tour set meal and yes know i gonna tell you how to go around this small island ( the whole part) just in 5 days using local transport, local accomodation, for you backpackers and budget travellers, lets go explore...
JEJU ISLAND!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION :
for indonesia tourist, if just come to jeju island ( not to seoul ) NO VISA NEEDED!
TRANSPORTATION
you have to use flight for sure from seoul, busan, or another big city in Korea or even from Indonesia, you can use Cathay Pacific go to jeju transfer in hongkong.
Ticket price from Indonesia : +/- ￦600,000 / round trip
Ticket price from seoul : +/- less than ￦50,000/ round trip if promotion but i got mine 4 days from departure ￦140,000 / round trip ( night departure from seoul to jeju & night departure from jeju to seoul)
And in jeju itself has lots of type of transportation,
1. CAR RENTAL ￦50000/day (driver license needed)
2. TAXI RENT ￦120000/day ( for around 4 people, 8 hours uses)
3. REGULAR TAXI starting ￦2600~
4. BIKE TRAIL ￦20000/ day ( riding for around 30km and die HAHA)
5. PUBLIC BUS ￦1300~3300
So i chose #5 and many people said it difficult to take public bus in jeju, the bus interval too long, that's why when you arrive in one place you have to see bus interval timeline, make a note, and make sure you already stand by at the bus stop few minutes before the bus come :)
ACCOMODATION
so many choices of accomodation in Jeju since it travel destination but its all up to you whether it about luxury or just for sleep or about facilities and great breakfast or interected with locals
1. Hotel ￦100000~ ( for rich)
2. Pension ￦50000~ ( for you beach hunter)
3. Jjimjilbang ￦7000~10000 ( for adventure budget traveller)
TOUR DESTINATION
so this is my itinerary, in my opinion jeju in 5 days is MORE THAN ENOUGH but once again in my route not really a regular group tour itinerary especially Indonesia touristy with yeongduam dragon head rock, hello kitty land, teseum and blabla so mostly it recommended by local people as MUST VISIT PLACES
When in Jeju, THIS LIKE MANDATORY MEN different with the regular bbq, black pork tastes more chewy and yummy and also served grilled thick. Men ... speechless and if you afraid to full you can also try 흑돼지꼬치 HEUK DWAEJIKOCHI or blackpork skewer
2. SEAFOOD
Island means sea means seafood! HIKKK honestly i barely eat seafood in Seoul because it expensive but in jeju, it totally taste nice and different ♡ must eat because it fresh! 회 HWI korean sashimi, 해물탕 HAEMULTANG seafood soup, 전복덮밥 JEONBOKTOPBAB fresh abalone mix rice, and many more!!
3. HALLASAN FRIED RICE
Known as the highest volcanic mountain in Korea, now youngers make hallasan famous with fried rice shape of it with spread of eggs and cheese!
4. FRESH MANGO JUICE ANS ICE FLAKES
Hot weather remedies. Now in Jeju hits with fresh mango juices, RICH MANGO with their mango shakes, MANGO REI with philippines' coconut mango, beautiful coffee shop near the beach and instagramable ice flakes.
5. HALLABONG JUICE, ICE CREAM, CHOCOLATE, VITAMIN AND EVERYTHING
jeju's special orange named hallabong is different with regular orange. It has like a crown on top and not only fresh fruit now so many things made from it must try!
6. STARBUCKS SPECIAL MENU
