►My summer vacation

13th July

Undeniably, not many speaks good English but still, we could still catch what they're saying. So, as soon as we reached Incheon, we went to catch a bus to Gimpo Airport for our flight to Jeju Island. When we reached there, we had to WAIT 5 FREAKING HOURS FOR OUR NEXT FLIGHT! With our heavy luggage, we decided to go Starbucks and we waited there for 2 hours.
Starbucks there agak mahal jek. I paid about RM18 for a GRANDE SIZE CHOCOLATE CREAM CHIP *and they dun have VENTI size for that)

I prefer Starbucks, Malaysia jek

After we checked in our luggage, we walked to a supermarket nearby called E-MART. They sell all kinds of things but mostly are local products and imported products (even cheese) were rarely seen.

As soon as we checked in to the pension house (Gold Beach Minbak) in Jungmun, we went to the Teddy Bear Museum. For only 50,000WON per night, it's definitely the best budget place to stay in.

and I had my very first proper Korean dinner but

IT SUCKS!

(except the fish)

I still prefer Chinese food

14th July

We conquered Mount Hallasan (the highest mountain in South Korea).

I am very proud of myself that I was able to hike about

20km altogether for 8 fucking hours.

On the way to the summit, the weather was so bad (strong wind) that I felt like being blown away if I did not hold on to the handle. Eventhough I broke into tears halfway hiking down due to extreme leg pain, it was indeed a memorable experience. NIAMA LEI AH. BUN SIU JEH 5 km also haven hike b4. Not even the lan chau Bukit Kledang nearby my house. So, it was a BIG DEAL for me!

On the way up!

The summit

We had Mr. Pizza for dinner because I could no longer stand Korean food after such long hours of hiking.

The pizza was quite delicious jek

15th July

BYE JEJU! HELLO SEOUL!

At first, we thought the hotel we booked (Travelers' A Hotel) WAS THIS!

REALI WTF! HAK DOU NGO AHMA DOU NG YING DAK! It looks like one of the whore house in Ipoh. In the end, we managed to find our way to the hotel but still, the room we stayed in Gold Beach Minbak was way better.

Overall, our summer vacation is a BLAST!

FORGET ABOUT THE PART WHERE WE MISSED THE FLIGHT BACK

I almost cried in the airport and dun u fucking ask me why we missed the flight, and I swear to God I will NEVER EVER DARE TO MISS ANY FLIGHTS AGAIN! *muka SEDAR*

Thus, we stayed one more day in a nearby hotel in Incheon as our next flight was tomorrow after buying new tickets *muka hati sgt sakit*

Pros:
Most people in Korea are very nice and friendly. You see, my Korean is as bad as your shit yet I could still understand them (partly thanks to my darling who seems to have a deep understanding of what they are talking about) and most of them especially the people in Jeju are always willing to help you with the directions.

Situation 1: There's this guy in Jeju where we were asking another man for direction and he accidentally heard it and not only called a translator for us, but he even OFFERED TO PAY FOR OUR TAXI FARE TO REACH OUR DESTINATION!

Situation 2: We wanted to take the taxi to go to a hotel to take a bus back to Jungmun. INSTEAD, HE CALLED US TO WALK THERE because he said it's within 5 minutes walking distance.

Let's face it. If it's in Malaysia, the taxi fella will most probably bring you round and round the place before dropping you there.

Situation 3: We asked for directions again and this man even walked us there for 5 minutes and left his shop behind. Come'on. Our local ppl don't even bother to do that.

when we were there, people often mistaken us as Koreans especially my darling due to his small eyes and fair skin. and darling often said ' I feel like I'm one of them ALREADY!'

Cons:
Beware of people conning you lor. There's this motherfucker aunty who wanted to con me the moment I uttered 'How much is this?' in English. WTF, MAN! The price of the dress is 130,000 WON (about RM400) . With 400 bucks, I can even buy a BURBERRY POLO TEE!
and the most CHA DOU part is SHE SAID 'This is made in Korea.'

Niama chow chi bai lei ah. You think made is Korea hou BABEI ah! You might think I'm overreacting BUT I HATE HATE HATE people conning me! especially when it comes to buying stuffs I like. and I said FUCK YOU! *hopefully she heard that*

Most Korean girls I saw were very pretty jek. Dunno if they're real or not (as in doing plastic surgery), but indeed I felt very threatened looking at their fair beautiful skin.
