So i’ll be leaving Korea tomorrow, i wish i could stay longer as i really like it here.  the people were very nice and there is still so many beautiful places i would like to go.
well, its been a while since my last post but so far i had been in Busan, Gyeongju and Daegu and just got back to Seoul yesterday. i didn’t go to Andong as i had planed and instead spent  an extra day in Daegu. i wish i had more time…
Well, right after Jeju i went to Busan. i got very early as i took the ferry overnight. it took about 12  hrs. it wasn’t that bad as some comments i had heard of…
I got some nice weather the first day in Busan. i think i did a mistake not going to the beach this day as all my next days in busan were raining all day.  i  didn’t took many pictures this day as i spent so much time at the Heosimcheong hot springs Spa. i had to admit that i felt very weird being naked in front of tons of people there but i think it was worth especially after the long trip to Busan and the morning hiking in Beomeosa temple. At night i walked around the busan station and checkout chinatown that its just around there but it was more like russian town. later on i walked around the hostel which was located in Seomyeon, (the heart of Busan)

I didn’t plan well what to visit here in jeju so just visited almost randomly places. there are many beautiful places to visit here that 4 days are not enough. it was good that i extended for 1 day the 3 days planed.
So in my third day I went to Sanbanggulsa Grotto , a temple at the Sanbangsan Mountain, It was a nice temple but what i liked the most was the walk at the Dragon Head Coast. I think i have seen way too much temples. At the evening went to and the Jusangjeolli Cliff and hung there for awhile for the sunset but the sky never clear up, so i just waited in vain there.  The forth day i saved for the  nearby places by the hostel as i have to leave to busan at the evening,  So i went to the Cheonjiyeon waterfall that it was at a walking distance from the hostel. It wasn’t that big to spend a lot of time there so i looked at the tourist map and saw Oedolgae rock, another dae jang geum film location, lol. it was kinda near from the waterfalls so went walking there. It was beautiful there too as much of jeju. so i really like Jeju it was a nice change to nature but i think i still prefer the city…

i’m Jeju since the last 4 days and i think i’ll leave today if the ferry to Busan is not full booked yet. i haven’t taken many photos as i would have liked but it is a very beautiful place. i just takes ages to take to those places as they are scattered around the island.  so just to get here i wasted almost wasted a full day even went i left Gwanju to mokpo at 6 am to take the ferry to jeju. the ferry took 5 hours and then it took us another few hours to get to the hostel located at the other side of the island in seogwipo city. i took the wrong bus but it would usually just take about one hour.
so the first day i didn’t do anything besides walking in seogwipo but there is nothing to much to see at the city and it its pretty much dead at night.  the next day went to see the Manjanggul Cave very nice place but the sections that look pretty  awesome were closed to public i would have liked to see those. it took ages to get here by bus probably about 2 hours after that we went to see the Seongsan Ilchubong  (Sunrise Peak)  before the sunset. i wanted to see the sunrise but that was pretty much impossible. anyway the sunset over there was very beautiful too!
