Jeju Island

Jeju reminds of Nadi Town in Fiji.  Something to do with being a tourist place, the locals are very friendly, the restaurant owners stand outside to lure tourists into their restaurants; the same in Nadi.  But Jeju overall has a very well developed infrastructure.  Although there is no subway or railway it is very easy to get around the whole island.  


























Though we were only there for three days of work, we managed to find time to go down to the southern part of Jeju island to take a cruise around the harbour which was one of our favorite part of Jeju island.

The highlight of our trip was supposed to be the climb to mount Halla but because of our busy schedule we weren't able to do so. The guides to Halla mountain were very strict about keeping to the schedule, you have to be at the top of the mountain by a certain time and so for the safety of tourists and hikers they ask that no one is on the mountain before nightfall.  I  guess they are just looking after the welfare of tourists and hikers.  Though we missed this opportunity we more than compensated for this by visiting the two designated UNESCO sites on Jeju Island.
