DAY TWO - JEJU ISLAND

The day started bright and early at around 6:00 AM. This was because as a class, we took got to take a plane across the ocean to a place called “Jeju Island.”

Once we arrived to the Island, we waited for the Korean students that we were meeting up with because as a group, we got the opportunity to have a charter bus take us around the island to many different and unique places.

The first stop of the bus was to a restaurant that was similar to the night before dinner, but this time the meats were cooked beforehand and this one included all sorts of different local fish. As some know, I am not a big fan of fish, but hearing from other students in the group, it seemed to be some of the best cooked fish they have ever had!

After lunch, we made our way to the first destination and it was a design building that had all sorts of different rooms with fun activities to participate in. It was a great way to “break the ice” with some of the Korean students and have some fun because after this stop, it felt like today was not the first time meeting our new friends. Fun fact about this place was that we (ID Students) were the first ones to ever get to experience this space because as of tomorrow, they are opening it up to the public.

After this, we were directed to a place called “Osulloc” which is a tea museum where lots and lots of green tea is produced. There were a ton of different buildings that has products that’s ere made from the tea from hair shampoo, lotion, to body mist spray all used from their locally grown green tea. Let’s just say this was a spot where I found a lot of souvenirs to take back home with me.

After all our stops, it was time for dinner. We ate at a local restaurant located close to our hotel that served noodles and pork. It was very delicious and I hope we come back too it.

Lastly, one of our final activites for the night was going to the market place loacted just about ten mintues away from our hotel. This was a real cool market that was covered for blocks and blocks that served many different vendors from live fish sellers, to small stores that sold different handmade items.

This was a good day, and I look forward to tomorrow
