KOREA 2014: DAY 7 ~ SEOUL: Anguk, M-Countdown, Myeongdong

23 OCT 2014 We woke up at an almost ungodly hour in the morning to catch our flight back to Seoul despite assurance from Kitty that we didn't need to be there so early. I had to explain to her that it was innate in Singaporeans to be like that (aka kiasu). Anyway she was sweet enough to wake up early and prepare packed sandwiches for our breakfast before calling the cab in to pick us up. She even sent us down, helping us with the luggage and telling the driver our destination. Thank you Kitty and family for the amazing stay in Jeju! =) Arriving well before our check-in time at Jeju airport, we found a slightly quieter spot to take a seat, relax and eat our breakfast. The airport also has shops selling all the Jeju specialties (chocolates etc) but a slightly differing range (branding) with a higher price as well so if you have time to visit Jeju markets or even the e-mart, it would have made for a better shopping place for bringing back these as gifts. Another thing to not...

22 OCT 2014 Final full day in Jeju; spent with our taxi driver once again. Same early morning hearty breakfast where I decided to give a shot at the home-made yoghurt. Also, her daughter gave us an A4 paper each to write something so I drew a big thank you and left a sweet message thanking them for their warm hospitality =) Taxi driver arrived punctually and first stop was: Manjang Cave. The main attraction of this place is the huge rock at the very end of the tunnel where you make a u-turn to exit. Yes, it was a one way in and one way out passage. Note the place is rather wet (maybe because it was raining) and we had to play hopscotch and step on the stones to avoid the water puddles so I guess we took a bit longer than normal. Total time spent; 40minutes. There wasn't much photo-taking opportunities with the lack of lighting but we still did with a few selfies....which caused my phone to fall into a puddle of water on the stones...and guess what?! It survived!!! Sony Xper...
