Jejudo - Seongsan Ilchulbong, Udo

With a typhoon canceling my English camp today, I figure its time to play catchup on my blog since I am stuck at school with nothing to do.

I had the last week of July off for my vacation, and Chad and I ventured out to Jeju Island. I had been there with my parents before when they visited.

We flew their via Asiana Airlines (always a nice flight), and then took a bus to Seongsan Illchulbong (Sunrise Peak). We ended up getting a nice/cheap hotel room (W40,000) with a surprisingly nice few. That evening we walked around along the water and saw a few tiny hummingbirds. I've never seen birds that small. The ones in Canada are much bigger, but these were TINY. We also discovered some caves where the Japanese would ride suicide boats ready to launch out and attack enemies.




Throughout all of Jeju there are these really nasty bugs. They look like fusion between a cockroach and a centipede. Some grew to be really large too (bigger then my thumb).

The next day was raining in the morning, so we weren't able to get up and do the sunrise thing (it just wasn't worth it). We hopped on a boat to Udo where we rented a golf cart and drove around the island. It was a lot of fun. It was too hot to bike so it was a great way to hop around.

After Udo we hopped on a bus and went to Seogwipo, which is where we went Scuba Diving.
