Driving around in Jeju Island

I have been talking a lot about my time in Jeju Island, but it is not possible if we did not rent a car to drive around there.

Prior to going over to Korea, I did my homework in searching for the best deal for car renting in Jeju Island. There are plenty of companies dealing with car renting in Jeju island e.g. Hertz and Avis. It is a well known Sime Derby subsidiary company call Hertz. 

But after doing some homework I realized to go ahead with KT Kumho as the rate is reasonable together with their cars are really new. Don't really have a full picture of our rented car but manage to find one of it as below:-
I can really say that I am very satisfied with what we got which is Hyundai Avante. Total damage is 94,600 KRW which includes 65% of insurance for our 3 days 2 night stay. 

There are a couple of things if you would like to drive in Jeju Island. There are plenty of speed track along the highway. Do take note that speed limit is about 80km/h over there unlike in Malaysia we even complained about 110km/h. 

Something to take note about during car rental in Korea is that some of the car rental services only provide Korean GPS. Not to worry about that cause the Korean GPS is designed easy to be used even by people like us. By just clicking a few buttons, you are able to key in the last 7 digit of the destination and it will lead you directly to there.

Driving around in Jeju Island - Day 1

During our stay in Korea, we also had the chance to Jeju Island one of Korea most popular vacation spot for both Koreans and foreigners. It also known as the "Island of the Gods" and remains one of the top honeymoon destinations for Korean newlyweds.

Sorry for the blur picture but however this is the full map of Jeju Island
There are 3 airlines that fly into Jeju from Seoul mainly Eastar JetJeju Air and Air Busan. While for me we manage to get Air Busan as we wanted to fly in on a certain timing. We flew in at 7.00 am as due to our tight schedules we would not want to waste so much time just for traveling. Flight to Jeju Island will depart from Gimpo Airport so please make the correct arrange with your taxi driver or your hotel arrangement as you don't want to miss your flight.

Even before we depart for Korea, we already made all the arrange for our rental car. Please read my post on our car rental experience during our stay in Jeju. First in our itinerary is Manjanggul Lava Tube. 

Manjanggul Lava Tube


Gimnyeong (also spelt as Kimnyeong) Maze Park
Next is the nearby Gimnyeong (also spelt as Kimnyeong) Maze Park. This is the smaller maze park in Jeju as compared to the one filmed by running man - Maze Park. There are a couple more other maze in Jeju but we think this is sufficient as we just want to have a feel of how maze looks like.
 Getting ready to enter the maze.
 An overview of how the maze would look like. The brushes are of course taller than you.
Our main aim of the whole maze. To "ring" that bell.


Sangumburi Crater
A big crater created 12,000 years ago. You can see beatiful scenery around.  During fall, you can also see magnicficent silver grasses all over this place. 
 A very unique designed bench of the name of the place

Sungsan Sunrise Peak
The day is getting colder and colder as night is approaching. Next, we went to Sungsan Sunrise Peak. A peak formed by volcanic eruption 100,000 years ago. One of the 7 wonders of nature. One of the best attractions in Jejudo. I am sure you all have some how saw the volcano picture, it was even on the advertisement for World Cup Japan & Korea.
I think most of us saw before this picture right?

Although this is a sunrise peak. But you can never miss a beautiful sunset.
Jeju Nanta
You will never want to miss this show in Korea. There are a few it showing around Korea, both in Seoul and Jeju Island. Because we find that we have more time in Jeju, therefore we decided to watch it in Jeju instead.Please always pre book your tickets through their official website Nanta Jeju and do check out if there are any promotions that are ongoing. I bought my tickets with a 10% discount due to early bird.


A word of advice, please do sit at the center side as you might have a chance to be called up stage and join in the performance. =)
And let the show begin
Black Pork Street
Jeju Island is famous of it's black pork. There is a street of it together with many many shops selling black pork BBQ. I not sure of which restaurant is the best because they all seems alike to me. At last we chose the shop with the most award and media interview.
 The street title. *translate as black pork street*
 The sizzling sound of black pork 

This ends our first day in Jeju. Stay tune for the next post on the second day together with other tips about traveling in Jeju Island.

Autumn Sonata @ Nami Island

I am sure many of us either heard or even watch one of the most popular Korea Drama of all times.
Winter Sonata (冬季恋歌) some of us can even sing or at least heard the song of this drama before. It is currently playing in my head. LALALALA~

Well some of the scene or I can say most of the scene are actually shoot at this very place Name Island (南怡岛). During our days in Korea my girlfriend and even my colleague were very much looking forward for this day. For this visit.

Namiseom Island was formed as a result of the construction of the Cheongpyeong Dam. It is a half moon shaped (462,809㎡) isle, and on it is the grave of General Nami, who led a great victory against the rebels in the 13th year of the 7th king of the Joseon Dynasty, King Sejo (reign 1455 ~ 1468). Namiseom Island is 63 km away from Seoul in the direction of Chuncheon, and is famous for its beautiful tree lined roads. The island is 30 minutes away from Chuncheon and an hour away from suburbs of Seoul. Since it is not far from Seoul, many couples and families come to visit. 

A special feature of Namiseom Island is that there are no telephone poles. This is because all electric wires were built underground to keep the natural feeling of the landscape. The complex is 553,560 square yards with chestnut trees and poplar trees around the isle. In the middle of the isle, there is a grass field about 316,320 square yards. It is composed of education and training facilities, camping sites, swimming pools and water-sports facilities for motorboats and water skiing. There is also a theme park with merry-go-rounds, a shooting range, roller skating rink, and there are lodging facilities such as resort villas and bungalows.

Early in the morning we got up and head towards Gapyeong Station. Get a map on which station your homestay going to be as then you could try arrange on the route to reach Gapyeong. Check out my post on our accommodation during our Korea trip
Picture taken while waiting for train to Gapyeong. It was a long journey as we need to change to different lines just to get there. *thumbs up* for my friend who planned all these things.

Once you reached the station, there would be plenty of cab waiting at the taxi stand and the trip to the ferry wharf would take about 6 minutes costing KRW3,000. For those who like to venture into more places such as Petite France can take the Gapyeong tour shuttle. For more information can visit the tourism center when you reached Gapyeong station.
Found this cute little photo stop during our wait for our ferry. We bought out tickets and the ferry would be 30 minutes intervals. So you would not expect to wait long for your turn to be on the ferry. 

Having to be a tourism attraction, you would expect people from all over the world. See if you could spot Malaysia or your own country from here. They say that you will regret if you did not visit Nami Island if you were there during Autumn. The best place to enjoy and have a feel of Autumn is here in Name Island. Don't believe? Take a look at these photos.




Don't worry if you would get lost in the island cause there is a huge map when you reached the island.

Getting Here: 
Subway (cheaper but more transits)
Please go to Sangbong Station (line no.7) and take Gyeongchun Line. It takes about 45 minutes to reach Gapyeong Station (1800 won one way). Get off at Gapyeong Station, take a taxi to Namiseom parking lot (travel time: 10-15min, 3000 won). Take the ferry from Namiseom Dock to Namiseom Island. (travel time: 5-6min)

Things to get prepared for my Korea trip.

Well if you wanted to have a smooth trip of course you need to do some preparation before flying over to a foreign land. Well I here have a few tips on what should you do in making preparation for a trip.
1. Get your accommodations sorted. As what I repeating mentioned in the previously post is that you need get your accommodations arranged and booked before going over. I do know a few friends of mine traveled around without doing any booking. Merely backpack. But my advise is if you are going to a land where you can't speak their language. I think it's wiser to just book before hand. My Korea Trip posted on our accommodation when we are in Korea. Please refer to sites such as Agoda, Hotel, Booking and etc. for reviews and even blogs such as mine. =)

2. Purchase sufficient check-in luggage just in case you over pack. This is only applicable if you are traveling with budget airlines. It's better to have some buffer than end up having to throw some stuff during in airport right? For me and my girlfriend we actually estimated wrongly on how much we would be bringing over there. I bought 30kg of luggage for both of us. But ended up both our bags actually weighted 34kg. The excess they told me is RM50 per kg. MUST BE CRAZY! So what we did was we took out our thick clothes and holding them in our hands. PROBLEM SOLVED.

3. Have a brief itinerary on what you all want to do or where to go or even what to eat. A quick google on places to go to together with how to get there would be helpful cause I am sure you don't want spend time going round searching for it. Also always remember when you reached your destination, you must be hungry or at least would wanted a place to rest. A quick check on restaurant or food court near you hotel/homestay would be beneficial for you. Take a look also my post about us renting a car in Jeju Island.

4. Pack sufficient clothes and even according to the season. Of course PLEASE follow your season and understand approximately the temperature over there as you don't want to wear too thin for cold season and too thick for summer days. Sufficient clothes is good as you would be out whole day which means that there is no time for "1 set afternoon, 1 set night, 1 set supper."

5. Remember always to travel comfortably.
 



These 2 items are one of the most important things for those who are in budget long haul flights. You need get some sleep so that even the first day you won't feel all worn out and sleepy. Sleep to ensure that you don't mess up your plans.

6. This is the MOST important thing. Your PASSPORT and MONEY. You don't want go anywhere without your own identity. Even some taxi drivers do remind us about our passport before leaving from the house. Wonder what can we do if we forgot our passport? Perhaps NOTHING.

Okie I think that's about it. Let me summarize on what have I listed as our check-list for traveling.

1. Accommodation booked
2. Check-In luggage bought
3.  Itinerary arranged
4. Sufficient clothes packed
5. Sleeping mask and neck rest packed
6. Passport and money packed

I think you are more than ready for your wonderful trip. Do let me know if you think I missed out something important to consider and prepare or pack before going for a trip.

MILKCOW has arrived in Malaysia!

Let's take some break from my Korea trip review. After coming back from Korea, me and my girlfriend were still craving for Korean feel e.g. food, drinks and DESSERT!!! Here is the link of my itinerary in Korea. 7 days 6 nights in Korea
During one of our day there, we had SOFTREE ice cream in Korea and it was delicious! More review on the ice cream and food we had in Korea next! On 28th of November, similar type of ice cream shop officially open in Malaysia and to be exact in Mid Valley. *scream out loud*

We were so tempted to head over to be the first 200 person in line to get back the taste we had in Korea. A taste that we both would never forget! Oya I forgot to mention the name of the shop. *paiseh* (feel shy).
MILKCOW is in town! It looks similar from what we had in Korea but we are yet to find out on its taste. They are having an instagram competition to win watches and keepcups. Just take a creative shot with the ice cream and tag @milkcowmy together with us #milkcowlaunch. Please refer to photo below for more details.
On the lazy Sunday, we went for a try. When we reached there we were shock in seeing a lot of people lining up just for the ice cream. By not wasting petrol and effort in coming Mid Valley, we joined the queue.
Look at the number of people ahead of us. I don't even want show you people behind us. Just in case you are lining up and wondering what to order, here is a view of the menu together with a glimpse of the food.

Looking tasty? Heard from a friend of mine and even my girlfriend told me that we should get the honey ones are they are famous for it. Having waited for about 30 minutes, we ordered ours of Milky Cube and Milky Honey, both are with honey. Here is how they look like.
The one one the life is Milky Honey while the one on the right is Milky Cube. 8/10 for the outer appearance? So if you got some time to spare and wanted to try something new from Korea, give this ice cream and try and do tell me what you think about it.

Comment from my girlfriend: Not as good as Softree, the ice cream is too milky, and honey tasted fake. However over is still good.
Would I go back again? Maybe next time.

Do let me know if you have a different view on it.

Korea 7 days 6 nights trip!

Annyeonghaseyo,

It has been some time since the last post I wrote about Gua Niah. It is a very beautiful cave in Miri where I am so fortunate to visit. For those who missed the post, please refer to the below link to have a read on it.

Every year I made an effort to at least visit a place or country that I have yet gone before. This enables me to mingle about people with different culture and lifestyle. Students like to put this phrase inside their essay, "ALLWALKS OF LIFE".In addition to relax and get away from the busy town of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

This year the beautiful country I managed to visit just before the year ends is, "DANG DANG DANG DANG!!!"

KOREA

Now you understands why do I started this post with annyeonghaseyo? It means "hello" in Korean. This time my trip is made up of 2 couples, me and my girl together with my colleague and her boyfriend. Just to update that Korea is GMT+9 which means is 1 hour ahead of us here in Malaysia.
The happy us in Incheon airport (Seoul, South Korea) having still unaware of the cold weather there. During our 7 days 6 nights trip there, the temperature is about 14 degree Celsius in the day time and about 8 degree during the night.

This is just the beginning, stay tune for next posts on things we did in Korea and approximately how much we spent there. Here is a brief summary of our itinerary during our stay in Korea. (credit to Xin Wei for preparing and arranging everything)


Stay tune for the more information on the places we went! Can't wait for the updates? Like and follow my blog in order to get the latest updates on the trip!

However, let's settle and strike off something from our wishing list. Accommodation!

Yes yes we all know that accommodation would be an issue as you want to get something that is value for money. Well a big shout out for the 3 places that we stayed and am going to review them individually.Don't worry if you don't know Korean because MOST of the signs have English subtitle.

First of all! Our very first guesthouse in Seoul, Kimchee Dongdarmun Guesthouse. This Guesthouse is just walking distance from Jongro-5-go station Exit 4. Just a short direction on how to reach the guesthouse. From the station, walk straight until you reach the first traffic light, you will see a pharmacy on your left. Turn left into the street next to the pharmacy and keep walking until you see a first alley. Left left and a signboard for Kimchee Dongdarmun Guesthouse will be seen.

This is a photo stolen from their website. Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the guesthouse even my room to post in the blog. The guesthouse have a weekly Friday gathering aka party at the rooftop where you have beer and musics and people from all over the world sharing stories and meeting new friends. I think it is a very good place to know people and make friends. Whereas for us, we were too tired for the mini gathering therefore we decided to sleep. HAHA! This guestroom also offers baggage storage and even early check-in if you reach before 12pm. You can even put your luggage there when you going to Jeju. No need to carry along all your "战利品" which means your shoppings!

Kah-Ching! KRW55,000 per night here for a deluxe double room. Cheap Cheap!

Next up! December Hotel at Jeju Island. This is the most specious place we ever stayed during our entire trip. I mean among the 3 accommodations. How to get there you asked? Actually we not very sure on how we got there. In Jeju the public transportation is not as advance as Seoul, therefore we rented a car and drove us around there. Please refer to my blog about the car we rented.
Kah-Ching! RM160 per night here for standard double room and just to bare in mind the room is huge! You can practically roll-around and it can fit like 10 people in a room! HUGE!!

Last but not least is Lee's Garden Guesthouse. It is situated in Myeongdong Station and is surrounded with shops and restaurants! This is one of the advantage in staying here. It is also somehow of Korean lifestyle guesthouse as one of the room we rented, we need to put tilam and sleep on the floor. Do also check out other guesthouse at Myeongdong area and it is packed with them!

That's all for the most important bucket list. Till next time on our itineraries! See ya!

Description

Known for the site where a 40,000 year old human remains were discovered, Niah National Park offers jungle walk, Iban longhouse and cave experiences.
Niah National Park provides some interesting and impressive sights. The area was a major centre of human settlement as early as 40,000 years ago, and features one of the world’s largest cave entrances, Palaeolithic and Neolithic burial sites and iron-age cave paintings.
The nearby Painted Cave houses wall-paintings depicting the boat journey of the dead into the afterlife, along with remnants of “death-ships” on the cave floor - boat-shaped coffins (its contents have been transferred to the Sarawak Museum).
Visitors leaving its Great Cave around sunset will see two great black clouds intermingling - the nightly ‘changing of the guard’ as hundreds of thousands of swiftlets return to their nests, whilst an approximately equal number of bats fly out to forage in the forest. A variety of luminous fungi can be clearly seen from the plankwalk at night.
The surrounding area is covered in dense primary rain forest and is home to many species of plants and wildlife.Even today, the caves remain important for local communities, with birds nest and guano collection providing valuable employment and income. The national park runs a swiflet conservation programme in 'Gua Perintah'.
Niah Caves is a very pleasant place to spend a few days, although most of the major attractions are accessible to the day visitor. An Iban longhouse - Rumah (house) Patrick Libau - homestay experience can be had and it is accessible through the national park.



The park has a visitor centre and good accommodation, and is very easy to get around, thanks to an extensive network of plankwalks.
A flashlight and good walking shoes are absolutely essential - the caves are unlit, and the plankwalk can become slippery from the constant dripping of water and bat guano from the ceiling of the cave. A wide-brimmed hat is desirable, for obvious reasons.
The Park is located on the Sungai Niah, about 3 km from the small town of Batu Niah, 110 km south-west of Miri.
At Niah National Park also has provide chalet for visitor to stay. Below is the type of lodging and their prices that you can choose according to your budget.
Forest lodge type 2 ( VIP chalet)

2 rooms, 4 beds & air-con: Rate per unit: RM 236.25; Rate per room: RM 157.50; Forest lodge type 4 ( Class 3 chalet)

4 rooms with 4 beds each: Rate per unit: RM 168.00; Rate per room: RM 42.00
Things to bring:
- Suitable clothing. Comfortable clothes and suitable shoes. Avoid wear out shoes, because some of the paths are quite slippery.
- Torchlight or headlamp. There are not much light in the cave, so make sure to bring your own torchlight/headlamp. This would be rented at RM 2 each also
- Enough drinking water. You will have to walk a few hours to the cave, and then walk a few hours back to the headquarters. Bring enough water to avoid dehydration.
- Some snacks. Snacks can keep you energized while exploring in the forest or the cave. Best to note if have things like energy bar or chocolate
- A camera. To capture the views and scenery, sometimes forest creatures that you see during your trip. Who knows, you might capture something amazing!
