Jeju Island
located at southern part of South Korea. Generally, the temperature is slightly
higher than Seoul. Autumn in Korea started in September and end in November. In

jacket with T shirt will do during this
time.

the low and medium rise building, generally 3-4 storey building. Few high rise
building is located at beach and golf resort.
The best
time to visit jeju is from November to February, where temperature is cool and
dry between 10-18’C.
Reasonable
quite an easy traffic, just mild congestion around city centre. Otherwise,
driving in Jeju is quite manageable for foreigner. Jeju practices a left sided
driver. Get your international License at your own country eg JPJ Malaysia, and
you can drive in Jeju.
Renting a

SantaFe , 7 seaters for around RM1200 including insurance for 5 days. This was
made earlier, through online booking before we arrived in Jeju.

6 hours. 0650 hrs from KL, and landed in Jeju International Airport around
2pm(Korean Times), which is 1 hour ahead of KL.
As instructed
by the car rental agent, we took a shuttle bus from Jeju Airport to Lotte Car
Rent, which is less than 10 minutes journey and collected our car. Equipped with
navigation system which was very helpful.
Drove the
car, to Jeju City centre,where our Guest house was located, checked in and we
made our first journey. For an early dinner, the signature dish of Jeju black
pork BBQ. It was a great dish. All the menu served will be served together with
Korean condiments eg Kimchi, raddish,fermented vegetable, black bean.

Mountain.

Shopping Mall, shops sells Korean clothing and many shop that sells Korean skincare
and cosmetics. It is a good buy for brand like Nature republic, Innisfree,
Missha, Etude, Mediheal.

At the end of the Underground shopping exit is a way to the Jeju Market or Donmoeung Market. Generally hallabong tarts, green teas, dried seafood is much cheaper here compare to airport. A good souvenirs to bring back home.

It was a pleasant
flight home. The Air Asia Flight was on time. Slightly bumpy after about 1
hour after took off. Otherwise generally good and comfortable flight with good
selection of on board meal. The journey took 6 hours and landed at KLIA2 around
8pm( Msia Time/ 9pm Korean Time).
Our trip was very relax and non packed itineraries, we started our journey everyday around 9am. We covered probably less than half of main attraction in Jeju. But it is very meaningful taste of Jeju Hospitality.
We had a great travel buddies.. our professional
international driving licence drive(Jenny), Soy, Ana and last but not least
little Tya that made our trip more cheerful and lively.
Goodbye
Jeju. Annyeong Jeju-si.
