jejudo - korean utopia

abundance of rocks, women, and wind

and no thieves, beggars, or gates...

i didn't think korea could be this pretty. it was great to get out of dingy, flashy seoul.

anyways, yonsei planned the weekend trip for a group of international students.

Here are some highlights of that weekend's good times:


took a plane to jejudo - less than an hour from seoul!

PARTY BUS equipped with flatscreen TV - watched a lot of KPOP MUSIC VIDEOS ON REPEAT: 2ne1, 2 pm, 4 minute, girls generation... etc. & KARAOKE - sang some dancing queen and let it beeee

korean traditional village: drank some omijacha (tea), learned about the history of jejudo, for example, how the women worked mostly because the men hid from the draft. the women even took their babies with them to work in the fields.

our tour guide: explained to us how the jeju natives used to use outdoor bathrooms that fed (literally) directly to the pigpens.

maze!

big rock.

ATV's / hanul looking mad-fly

international peace museum of jejudo

one of the manmade caves in the side of a cliff where Japanese hid their weapons during World War II (i think) - apparently the Japanese forced the Jeju people to dig these caves themselves, just another example of Japanese oppression (just sayin)

Green Tea Farm

DINNER: JEJU PORK!
