Jeju Day 3.
off in the early mornings to seogwipo submarine which is near our place. thanx to my buddy seran who helped us booked the tickets coz I googled online and heard that its hard to get a place there just by going there to book.
a bridge near the boarding area:
we had to board a ferry to deeper waters before boarding the submarine. the ride took about 5min I suppose?
THEN they took photos of every group of people before stepping into the submarine. The photo was given free to us after the activity. hee I got to take with LL.
inside the submarine, jam packed with ahjummas.
Then the action starts. There is a diver who goes down to attract fishes to our windows.
The ride is about an hour back and forth. But there were only small fishes. Normal fishes. No sting rays nor sharks. If u look carefully, there are starfishes fixed to the reefs.
On the way back, the captain bought our attention to a shipwreck. Actually they just sunk the ship instead of sending it to destroy cos it costs less.
The control panel:
Alrite. After the virgin experience underwater, we drove to the Teddy Bear Museum. Very famous worldwide and girls go gaga over it. I don't really see whats the fuss about it. Just teddy bears. I don't like soft toys.
There were so many different scenes and costumes in the museum. They took up most of my photos collection. But I will just put up some epic ones here.
Titanic scene:
Elvis Presley:
Marilyn Monroe:
The beatles:
Qin shi huang. Chinese emperor:
Miniature teddy bears:
Teddy bears from korean drama Goong:
Teddy bear fashion show!:
World's most expensive teddy bear, the LV bear:
Swarovski bear:
Bear with diamonds in her eyes:
All of us bought merchandise from the store like as if we went mad. haha.
I bought 2 bears and a hairband, as souvenirs.
After the madness, we went outdoors.
and to make our ticket price worth, we decided to sit down awhile for an Elvis Presly teddy bear concert. LOL it lasted like 10-15min? Just the few teddy bears shaking and moving their mouths to the songs.
And we spotted this photo taking corner!
Like happy family hahahaha
Ok lunch was some place near the museum. Me and LL had Sangyetang (Ginseng Chicken)
and Roast pork:
After lunch, we went to the Chocolate Museum. It was the place Mabel wanted to go. Personally after reading reviews from my friend I wasn't really interested in it. It started drizzling when we reached there.
Must make the most of this place. Take pretty picture at the gate!
For 4000krw, we get a free cup of Espresso coffee too. It was too bitter for me. Most of us threw it away after a few sips. Cmon, isn't it supposed to be a Chocolate Museum? Should give us choco drink instead mah.
Must make the most out of it. Snap pictures of this pretty christmas room. Very out of place and I don't know why they have this room there.
There were histories of chocolate...
Cases and boxes of chocolates. Old and new
and...Chocolate Factory!
Really hand made by the workers there. They are like exhibits cos we were all snapping pics of them
The chocolate museum shop.
We bought a box of chocolates to share. Ok lah the chocolates. Not say nice not say not nice. Just..ok lor.
Next up, not knowing where to go since it was raining, we decided to go Glass Museum since it was in close proximity. Had originally left this out of our itinerary since my friend reviewed that it wasn't worth the money.
But I thought it was ok. considering the pretty glasses. and LOADS OF DIAMONDS. hahaa
pretty colored glasses:
Blue glass room:
Gold bars!
Mega huge rings!
The world's longest glass cup:
OOOH cinderalla's glass slippers!
and a mega huge one at that!
awwww we get to sit on the pumpkin yea. NO we were half squatting in mid air cos the seats were wet due to the rain.
More diamonds!
Glass cafe:
And a sickly looking heart. haha.
After that, we still had some time to spare, and were deliberating on whether we should go back to the guesthouse to take a "Ripleys Museum" tix which Jess won on the plane to Jeju. But we figured that no time left so we decided to go to this "No boss Cafe". Surprisingly, it was just a few metres away from the Glass Castle!
This cafe has no boss. U go there, make your own drinks with the available ingredients inside. Coffee powder, choco powder, tea powder, sugar, hot/cold water, juice, ice etc. all available. After that, u leave the amount of money u deem fit in a cash box. amazing huh. I found the cafe too hot though. Either their heater for winter was on at too high a temperature or their ventilation sux big time.
So that sums up our Jeju trip.
The next day, we had to return our car to the car company. This is it, our special red car. By the way, the white one behind is drove by KL. There aren't many red cars in Korea u know. hehehe
Ok some things I had hoped I had done in Jeju: Horse riding, ATV riding (which we could have done so if it hadn't rained), and visit the women divers and have the famous jeju black pork for dinner. ohwells. sort of a regret, but its ok. I can do all these things next time.
