During this period of time and as usual, I have travelled quite abit to Korea.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, where should I start, or rather, continue? Some updates to our relationship... we got married! Unbelievable... after 5 years and 6 months of long distance relationship, we made it and achieved the first milestone.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
We had our solemnization in Singapore (at Mandarin Oriental hotel) and we chose to do it here for a couple of reasons:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. My wedding ceremony will be in Korea, so this is like a small gathering for my Singaporean family members.</div>
<div>
2. We have plans to stay in Singapore for good, marriage cert here will simplify PR or LTVP application administratively.</div>
<div>
3. Registration of marriage here is more formal (in Korea, you just need to fill up a form and submit to the local district office) and more meaningful.<br />
4. Easier to convert to Korea cert so that we have both.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The process itself is easy as long as you get your head around it. There are a few distinction for cross border marriage, which was not highlighted in the usual wedding forums. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Firstly, if you intend to settle down in Singapore, remember to do the pre-LTVP assessment as this will shorten the LTVP application processing time to "up to 6 weeks", otherwise it could take up to 6 months. This assessment is FOC and should be taken at least one day before the solemnization. As the name suggests, this is just an assessment, it doesn't grant you anything but is for you to gauge how likely (no guarantee) your foreign spouse will be granted LTVP. If you pass the assessment, you will be granted letter of LTVP eligibility which I think is valid for a year. We did not do the assessment because we know that due to work commitments, he will not be able to stay here for the next 1 year.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Secondly, be sure to sign up for the marriage preparation program. It is not a mamdatory requirement but if you intend to apply for LTVP or PR, then this is required/preferred. I understand that you can also attend this after your solemnization. This is a 2.5 hours FOC course. I have seen couples attending this without translator even though the foreign spouse has difficulties understanding English.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thirdly, this is just to let everyone know that your foreign spouse is able to go through the ROM process here as a tourist, with no special passes or visas.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are super kan chiong like me and your foreign spouse has difficulties understanding English, go through the statutory declaration (can be found online) with him/her beforehand, you are required to read this aloud infront of the ROM officer before they issue you a blank cert for signing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have checked out a few venues for our solemnization and decided to go with Mandarin Oriental harbour view suite for the following reasons:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Good food, this is quite important for my Dad</div>
<div>
2. Good view as we have Korean family members here, we want to show them the skyline (unfortunately, our hotel rooms at Pan Pacific had better views)</div>
<div>
3. Right size, it is meant for close family members but our family is quite huge so I needed a place to fit 60 pax.</div>
<div>
4. Right price, this is not the actual wedding and we don't want to end up spending too much money/effort on this<br />
5. Indoor, he can't stand wearing suit in Singapore's weather.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mandarin Oriental harbour view suite rooms fit every criteria above. We did the ceremony in suite 3 and dinner in suites 4 and 5. Changing and makeup were done in suite 1 and we had the foyer of suite 2 for reception. As our ceremony was held on a Friday evening, we were lucky that there were no bookings so we could have all the rooms to ourselves. Overall we were satisfied with the service and arrangement at Mandarin Oriental. The night view of the skyline acts as a perfect backdrop for photos. All of our pictures turn out to be really nice even though we did not engage professional photographers. There is a ton of difference during daytime and at night, trust me, I was reluctant to go with Mandarin Oriental at first as I went to recce in the afternoon and most of the pictures posted online was during the day. It looked like a boring function room. But at night, the view is beautiful.<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
We stayed at Pan Pacific for the following reasons:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. With only 6 tables, room is not included in Mandarin Oriental package price (you need at least 10 tables)</div>
<div>
2. MO provided special rate for rooms but the standard rooms were sold out. PP rate was much better and had marina bay view.</div>
<div>
3. Within walking distance to MO and connected to Marina Square and Suntec</div>
<div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
PP really outperformed our expectation. They had Korean staff at the reception, shower facilities at hospitality room which could be used FOC after you check out, nice breakfast spread and really nice view (we chose the balcony rooms). The staff were really helpful and my husband was just super pleased to be serviced by the Korean staff who was able to acede to our requests on most front.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have decided on our wedding date next year in May so stay tuned for more updates and my 스드메 (Seu-deu-me, short form for studio, dress and makeup) and hanbok choice. His aunt is in this line of business and has connections to the top notch firms which service celebrities, so everything will be a breeze for us. We will just go where his aunt recommends (otherwise preparation can be a headache). It is common to engage a wedding planner in Korea who will help you shortlist a few companies and offer better rates than you going direct. That said, being a kan chiong spider, I did my homework as well.</div>

There were lots of requests on Seoul itinerary and since I am planning a trip to Seoul with my mum soon, I thought I should dedicate a post on this.<br />
<br />
Usually if I am in Seoul visiting my bf, we don't prepare itinerary for obvious reasons. In addition, we usually drive around places so I don't really have much information on public transport. This time round is different as I will be travelling with my mum without my bf and doing all the touristy stuff.<br />
<br />
We are planning to have our haircut, perm and colour there (it has been a long time since Korea hair salon has been highly raved about but it took me years to finally visit one). In addition, my mum also intends to make another pair of glasses in Korea (which is significantly cheaper than in SG). It will be a relaxing trip and we will base ourselves in Myeong Dong. We intend to visit Express Bus terminal underground shopping (Goto mall and also the new Enter6), Naksan Park, Sky Park, Namsangol Hanok, Lotte supermarket, Namdaemun, Edae etc.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for updates!Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09477415280281871705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985116181935282527.post-75108639297205545632017-03-12T17:55:00.002+08:002017-03-13T06:47:50.336+08:00Daegu - Path Less TravelledDaegu is the 4th largest city in Korea, just 1 hour away from Busan. You will notice a high number of foreigners residing here due to the proximity to the US base. Daegu, like other parts of Korea, has an interesting mix of developed areas and traditional streets. It is my first time to Daegu and I had very low expectation of what the city can bring. But wow.. the city has surpassed my expectation.<br />
<br />
I went to Daegu mainly because my bf is working and living there now.<br />
<br />
It is a great stopover for people travelling to Busan, you can base yourself in Daegu and make a day trip to Gyeongju.<br />
<br />
<u>How to get to Daegu from Incheon Airport</u><br />
From Incheon airport, you can either take the airport bus or KTX to reach Dong Daegu (city area of Daegu). KTX will cost KRW55,800 one way whereas airport bus costs KRW35,800.<br />
<br />
I chose to go by bus as it is more convenient (don't need to navigate the KTX station, bus stop is just outside the arrival area and you have someone to help you load your bags). Moreover, buses are more frequent (almost every 30 min). The only downside is that bus takes about an hour longer and is subject to traffic condition.<br />
<br />
You can buy your ticket at the airport limousine bus counter. The boarding point is at 10C (exit from the airport and cross the road). You will be assigned a seat as well. The bus will indicate the departure timing on the front so that you know you are boarding the right bus.<br />

The seats are really comfortable, allowing you to recline and have a good nap.<br />

<br />
The journey takes 4 hours (not all buses take the direct route so do check with the receptionist when you purchase your ticket) and midway, it will stop by a rest stop for 15 min. It is really too short for any proper meals so make do with street snacks. The rest stops that they stop by are usually the bigger ones, the toilets are clean and there are more food selection.<br />

When you see this iconic bridge, you are about to enter into Daegu city.<br />
<br />

<br />
<u>What to do in Daegu</u><br />
There are tons of things to do in Daegu, especially if you are an avid hiker. Otherwise, fret not, there are cable cars that will bring you up. Before starting my list of places, would like to warn that although T-money can be used in Daegu, recharging it is not so convenient. You can't recharge via the machines or the service counter, you will have to do so at convenience stores. So, make sure you recharge your T-money in Seoul or Busan.<br />
<br />
1. The first place I am recommending is Palgongsan natural park. The cable car ride costs KRW9,000 per person, 2 way. It is pretty high up, the wind was strong and we were quite worried as the cable car was swaying.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This is the view from the top. There is a restaurant up here. A pity that we couldn't spend much time outside as we were under-dressed and shivering. Definitely a good place to visit if you are a hiker.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

2. There are lots of towers in every country (those that I have been to are CN tower, Namsan tower, KL tower, Eiffel tower, Pisa tower, Macau tower, Tokyo tower... I think you get me) and some are really exciting (with glass floor, bungy jump etc) so I thought 83 tower will be just another average tower.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Before I raise your expectation up by too much, it is indeed just another tower but we actually had our photos taken free of charge (supposed to be included in the package but this could be a promo so do ask before you have yours taken, anyway, they are ok for you to take with your own devices) at the bridge extending out of the tower.<br />

This is the view from the tower, will recommend to come at around evening time to see the sunset. There is a cafe up here for you to chill.<br />

Not to mention that this tower is located just above the E World theme park (nice place for cherry blossom).<br />
<br />
3. You must definitely try out the Geundae Golmok Tour in Daegu which shows you a glimpse of the old Daegu (interesting as there are still people living and doing business here, the old way). This is not an organised tour, just a walking tour and you will be guided by tons of signs and brochures. There are a few courses to follow.<br />

The recommended tea from the menu below is the third from the top known as 상화차 (pronounced as Sang Hwa Cha). It is supposed to be some kind of traditional herbal tea (for treatment of flu) where they will add an egg yolk in. Unfortunately, mine didn't come with the egg yolk as Korea was facing bird flu issue and there was egg shortage.<br />

This is Sang Hwa Cha, couldn't really figure out what is inside, lots of nuts and it tasted healthy (LOL). For those less adventurous, you can order 강황꿀차 (Gang Hwang Kkul Cha, honey tea, refer to second picture below).<br />

<u>What to eat in Daegu</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
1. Bread. Yes, Daegu is famous for a few traditional bakeries. One of them is called Samsong Bbang Jib. The bread are sold at a reasonable price (around KRW1,000 to 2,000) and they were amazingly good (especially the croquette). The famous ones are the vegetable croquette, cream cheese bread and corn bread (best seller).<br />

The next bakery is Geundae Golmok Danpat Bbang Jib which is located near Samsong Bbang Jib. This one has a cafe upstairs and they serve really good coffee (costs around KRW3,000 to KRW4,000) with coffee beans imported from Hawaii. The popular bread from this bakery is the fresh cream bread which comes in different flavours (I prefer the bread from Samsong bakery though the coffee here is really nice).<br />

Both bakeries are located near the Geundae Golmok tour area. The one marked at the right top is Samsong bakery, the one below on the right is Geundae bakery and the point on the left is the catholic cathedral I was referring to before. Just take exit 14 from Ban Wol Dang station (near Hyundae department store). There is a huge underground shopping area here which you can check out as well.<br />

2. Another popular delicacy here is chicken liver, known as Dak Ddong Jib. You can find this chain (Daegu Tongdak) at various places. They come in 2 flavours, either original or marinated or half half. We prefer the marinated ones. This is kind of chewy and I think it goes well with beer. Don't expect to fill your stomach with just this.<br />

3. This Bulgogi shop here can be found at Chilseong market. It was introduced on SBS Baek Jong Won's show and the best part is that one portion only costs KRW6,000 with rice (separately ordered). The meat is grilled over charcoal stove and this is definitely one of the recommended eats. Just order Dwaeji Bulgogi. The only downside of this place is that it is too crowded and definitely not the cleanest restaurant.<br />

4. Another highly recommended cafe is Cafe Myung Ga. They have several branches as well. This cafe is probably the best cafe I have ever been to. The barista are really professional and they have the best strawberry cake in this world. I always have a habit of ordering green tea latte and I can say that they really do serve good quality green tea latte. They were actually whisking the green tea powder the Japanese way. We were awed by their precision (with weighing scale and all, not kidding) in preparing my bf's Yuja tea. Of course, the Yuja tea turned out to be really flavourful.<br />

Winter in korea can be really chilly thus getting a good down jacket is quite important. That is also the reason why I think Korea's jacket can be trusted when it comes to keeping warm (and staying trendy). Some of the popular brands in Korea include North Face (Mcmurdo series) and Discovery (Milford series).<br />
<br />
I went for a winter jacket hunt when I was in Korea in early October. I believe this was the best time to get good deals for winter jackets, many of the jackets (usually past models) were on sale. A good down jacket should be water resistant, light but still thick enough to keep warm, wind resistant, comes with hood and last but not least, fashionable and stylish enough.<br />
<br />
I had set my eyes on Mcmurdo from North Face and have been searching about it online for the past 1 year. I have no doubts at all about its quality. This costs KRW 420,000 at Gimpo outlet mall, original price is around KRW600,000. It is definitely above my budget but my bf said it's cheap going by Korean's standard. True enough, I do see a couple of people buying it.<br />

Since I was already at the outlet mall, might as well check out more options. The Bean Pole jacket got me wavering. I have never seen such nice camel coloured jacket. The fur doesn't look too shabby and the jacket is light and comfy. This jacket comes in 6 colours (black, navy, red, green, light blue, camel). Originally selling for KRW 418,000, it was going at KRW 209,000 (after tax) while I was there. A bargain too good to give up on. Tax can be refunded at the airport.</div>

Decided to also check out K2 and Black Yak, both are well known Korean brands. I think those below ranged from KRW 300,000 to KRW 390,000.<br />

These were of good quality as well but the design, cut and colour did not capture my interest as much as Bean Pole's. And so.... both me and my bf bought the super cheap camel coloured jacket from Bean Pole! Happy and contented. Love the colour and how the collar/hoodie fur stays up, shielding the neck from the cold.<br />

By the way, I got my jeans from Uniqlo at Myeongdong, it seems like slim boyfriend fit is the trend in Korea in Autumn 2016.<br />

Hope this guide will help you make a decision on Korea winter jacket investment.<br />

It's a simple recipe worth trying even for noobs. Will definitely make this again.<br />
<br />
Ingredients (for 2):<br />
500ml rice water (soak rice in water till it turns milky, filter and collect the water)<br />
100g shabu pork<br />
2 slices of raddish about 0.5cm thick (ok to add more)<br />
2 tbsp soybean paste (doenjang)<br />
0.5 tbsp pepper paste (gochujang)<br />
0.3 tbsp sugar<br />
1 tbsp minced garlic<br />
1/3 zucchini<br />
Chopped spring onion<br />
<br />
Method:<br />
1) Prepare the ingredients by cutting the pork slices into smaller pieces, cutting raddish into long stripes and cutting zucchini into quarter cube.<br />
<br />
2) Add some oil to a pot and stir fry the pork until it is cooked. Then, add in raddish and cook till it wilts.<br />
<br />
3) Pour in the rice water and continue boiling. When it starts to bubble, add in the soybean paste, pepper paste, sugar and garlic. Wait till it boils then add in zucchini. Continue boiling for another 5 minutes or until the zucchini softens. Add chopped spring onion.<br />

I have transferred the contents into a Korean pot, which I bought from a Korean mart at $6.90, and heating it up just before serving. This step is optional. The original recipe that Mr Baek did was for 1 serving and he cooked it in this traditional Korean pot.Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09477415280281871705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4985116181935282527.post-78173236140894465692016-08-03T23:20:00.000+08:002016-10-15T00:37:57.188+08:00Seoul Summer 2016 - Latest Trend and Tips (Sheraton Walkerhill, rash guard, grapes, sparkling water, lotte duty free shopping)<div>
The bf made a reservation at the Sheratin Grande Walkerhill hotel. For those familiar with kpop, you will know that many Korean artistes choose to hold their wedding here, at Astons house.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had very high expectation of this hotel but was quite disappointed. There are still some pros about this hotel.<br />
<br />
Our booking was at Douglous house which had a separate check-in area. The hotel receptionist was waiting at the lobby door and guided us on the hotel facilities and services. The check-in process was smooth and at the end of it, the bell boy helped us with our luggage. I would say that the service here is top notch.<br />

There are two pools, one indoor and one outdoor. We went to both but only managed to snap photo of the indoor one. If you are not a hotel guest, you have to spend more than SGD100 to get in to their outdoor riverpark. It consists of a lazy river (water is quite still though), a jaccuzzi (crowded), kids pool (with slides and all) and a main pool (filled with people playing beach balls). It was the worst pool I have ever visited and until now, I can't comprehend the high entrace fees. Worst of all, if you need to use the sunbed, you need to pay krw50,000. We had no choice but to place our belongings on the floor beside the sunbed. We got out in less than 30 minutes and headed to the indoor pool which was much better. But the pool was quite small and we were under the watchful eyes of hotel staff who had to explain the rules (if you are not swimming, keep to lane 1 etc) to every guest entering the area.<br />

Summer is a good time to enjoy a dip in the pool. Almost everyone had rash guard on and many shops (including major brands like SPAO, who r u, 8seconds etc) were selling them as well. Got mine from who r u at krw29,000. Supposed to protect you from the harmful uv rays. I didn't stay in the sun long enough to test it out but feels great to have those belly fats covered.<br />

Next, we visited one of the wedding venue, vista hall. There were many curious couples there. Without any deco, the place looked so average, different from their advertisement photos. The view from the ballroom was great though - overlooking han river.<br />

If you are in Korea for summer, you have to try their grapes. One box like the one below costs krw9,900. It's seedless and really sweet. We usually eat the grapes without the skin; only popping out the flesh.<br />

Another trend in Korea is carbonated/sparkling water, to drink and to rinse. Due to its slightly acidic properties, it is said to be good for the skin and scalp. Many beauty programmes are introducing it as facial/scalp wash for detox. The brand below is quite popular in Korea, selling at krw1,000, cheaper than perrier.<br />

After so many trips to Korea, found out that I have been purchasing cosmetics via the wrong channel. I used to purchase cosmetics off shelves in Myeongdong but the Lotte Duty Free app has changed my perception of duty free shopping. Lotte duty free shopping app is not just about purchasing products tax free. The discount coupons and discount events can reap substantial savings. <a href="http://m-eng.lottedfs.com/handler/Index?CHANNEL_CD=301018#" target="_blank">Link</a> to English version.<br />
<br />
How cheap is it? Using the Laneige purchase below, waterbank gel cream is sold at KRW 37,000 and waterbank essence is sold at KRW 40,000 on Laneige official website. However, Lotte duty free is only selling it at KRW 29,886 and KRW 30,996 respectively, almost 20% discount. Other brands might have even higher discounts.<br />

After you make your purchase, follow the instruction and collect it at the airport (after clearing immigration). Your products will be properly packed into a bag and once your number is called, the bag will be handed over to you. Simple and cheap. Be sure to click on every event to get discount coupons.</div>

The reason why I am excluding an itinerary is because the places are well within reach of subways and one can plan based on the subway maps depending on their personal preferences (shopping? sightseeing? etc).</span><br />

I don't think I will appreciate the very exaggerated way of expressing storylines. I am interested in music but am very selective when it comes to what kind of music. All in all, musical is nowhere near my to-do list.<br />
<br />
Then I came across We Kid, a Korean variety show that features kids singing. It introduced me to this song "황금별" or better known as Gold Von den Sternen from the musical Mozart. Although it's a German production, this musical was repeatedly shown in Korea. Just this one song and it got me interested in musical. I was deciding whether to watch Les Miserables or Wicked which will be showing in Singapore. The songs from both musicals were not to my liking although I know that they are kind of popular. And then... I guess I was in luck to find out that it Mozart will be shown in Korea again in 2016!<br />
<br />
So the decision is clear, no need for me to deliberate between the two anymore. I am going to watch Mozart due to that one song. But wait, doesn't sound right to go through a 175min musical just for one song. I tried to watch the Mozart musical concert which featured JYJ Junsu and fell in love with a few more songs. I must say that the songs from Mozart are superb. It got me interested in the life of Mozart (ashamed to say this because I grew up learning piano).<br />

Mozart is played by three different actors namely Lee Ji Hoon, Jeon Dong Suk and Super Junior's Kyuhyun. Of the three, I only know Kyuhyun so I thought I should attend his session as I like his singing. After reading reviews, it seems like most people are recommending Jeon Dong Suk. I can't find much information about him, only know that he is a musical actor, born in 1988, served as marine corps and has not failed a single audition. His singing skill is superb, you can listen to <a href="https://youtu.be/qDf24DDBOeQ" target="_blank">this</a>. Not bad looking too. So far I enjoyed Junsu's version but heard from reviews that Park Eun Tae and Park Hyo Shin's one might be the best ones so far.<br />
<br />
With regards to the musical this time round, saw some reviews which labelled it as disappointing mainly due to storyline (they did some changes), poor harmony by the ensemble, orchestra being too loud, poor performance by 홍록기 etc. There are also good reviews for it. Nevertheless, still determined that this will be my first ever musical due to the songs, which many agreed that this is one big plus for this musical.<br />

If you are just interested in meeting the artistes, you can wait outside the venue either before or after the musical. They are bound to appear.<br />

Early May my boyfriend came to visit for a week and mid May onwards, I was busy with two business trips.<br />
<br />
I had a hard time planning where to bring my bf since it wasn't his first time here. His last visit was in 2014.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Hotel</u></b><br />
Hotel is the most challenging of them all. My bf does have high expectation of hotels, not that it has to be high end but it has definitely got to be clean, quiet and come with comfortable bed. We also enjoy hotel breakfast as well as the swimming pool. After considering all the above, along with price, I have settled for Park Royal Hotel Pickering Street.<br />

Read online that Lime restaurant in Park Royal Pickering is highly acclaimed. The food was good but we have had better ones in Korea. It fell a little below my expectation but nevertheless, nice environment.<br />

Informed the hotel that it was our anniversary when booking through Agoda and was heartened that they really did send up an anniversary cake (came with a card). Definitely good customer service.<br />

Hotel also provides welcome drink (lime drink) for their guests when the check-in queue got too long. We were actually checking out on that day and didn't notice the fast check-out box placed opposite the counters. We went to queue instead and got ourselves the welcome drink (not a bad deal).<br />
<br />
<b><u>Food</u></b><br />
My parents treated us to Jumbo seafood at riverwalk. The food was really good and these cost us around SGD300 for a table of 5.<br />

We also visited Imperial Treasure for the dim sum. This is a must visit restaurant for my bf because dim sum is so expensive in Korea, not only that, it is also hard to find nice ones there. I don't have any photo for this though. We are quite amazed by the taste of the pork bun (crispy ones).<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
Another surprise planned was buffet lunch at Shangri-la hotel. The day we went, the hotel was hosting some conferences thus it got really crowded. We love the oyster, satay and dessert.<br />
<br />

When you make reservation online, it will entitle you to 15% discount. You can also select the occasion that you are celebrating and the restaurant will present you will a complimentary cake. Although it's nice of them to delight customers with complimentary cake, considering that this is already a buffet, it seems quite unnecessary. It would have been good if they can offer something different from what is already available in the buffet spread.<br />
<br />
We also went to Clifford Pier, my favourite place, not only for the food but also the ambience. They have live band starting at around 8pm if I am not wrong.<br />

Do check with them on credit card discounts when paying the bill.<br />

Astons is another of our favourite. I am sure no introduction is required as all Singaporeans should know where to find this cheap and good restaurant.<br />

Last but not least, my bf's favourite will be the Bah Kut Teh. We spotted lots of Koreans, apparently Song Fa Bah Kut Teh is highly raved in Korea so remember to bring your beau there. My bf actually bought back the bottled Song Fa brand dark sauce. This place is just beside Park Royal hotel.<br />

I had complimentary tickets to River Safari and it was something that he is also interested in so we spent an entire morning at River Safari. Most of the time, we were at the panda enclosure lol. We were able to breeze through River Safari by going on a weekday.<br />

단결! (Pronounced as dan gyeol which means unity 团结) This is used by Korean army. Air force uses 필승 (pronounced as pil seung which means sure win 必胜).<br />

My mum actually got very interested in the lipstick that Song Hye Kyo (Kang Mo Yeon) was using. After much research, found out that she actually alternated between the different colours. On the first episode, she used Laneige's Two Tone Lip Bar in No. 11 Juicy Pop.<br />

Then, in episode 9, the scene where Yoo Si Jin used her lipstick to write the caution sign, she used Laneige's Two Tone Lip Bar in No. 14 Dear Pink. The lipstick costs KRW25,000. This lip bar creates a gradient effect and is easy to apply on. I find it a little expensive though. Other make-up product that appeared is the Laneige BB Cushion which costs KRW37,000. Needless to say, she is an ambassador for Laneige.<br />

However, there are just too many brands and new products that I don't even know where to start. There are many vlogs and posts about Korean cosmetics review but I am sceptical about those. The reviews might vary due to individual skin condition as well as experience with other beauty products. Then, my bf introduced me to the popular Korean variety show called Get It Beauty.<br />
<br />
It seems like Koreans themselves faithfully follow the information provided by this variety show. When you visit pharmacies or cosmetics shops in Korea, you will see some products proudly bearing the Get It Beauty label. These are products that shops would want to display at the most prominent spot. That forms a guide for me when choosing Korean cosmetics. It is hard to visit shop by shop to locate the get it beauty tags. I get my information from http://getitbeauty.lifestyler.co.kr/getitbeauty.<br />

The category to carry out blind test on are selected based on latest Korean trend. From around 130 products that are sent to the show, 10 will get selected by 3 professionals. Out of the 10, 5 will get selected based on online reviews and blind tests by 10 other professionals. The ranking of the top 5 products will be based on the aforementioned (online review + feedback from 10 professionals) together with feedback from hosts and participants who are invited to the show. Quite a stringent process I would say.<br />

For those of you experiencing a hard time choosing Korean beauty products (like me), fret not, this is the complete guide for your daily routine. This is the one stop guide as I will update information as and when. The information below (in sequence based on the Korea skincare routine) are extracted from Get It Beauty website. If you have any queries, feel free to leave a comment.<br />
<br />
1. Cleansing<br />
<br />
<u>Cleansing water</u><br />
I was told that one of the secret to Koreans clear skin is due to the use of cleansing water. It functions as both cleanser and make up remover.<br />
<br />
Ranked number 1 is none other than Dr Jart + dermaclear micro water. I have tried both Dr Jart+ and Bioderma (ranked number 3 and slightly cheaper than Dr Jart+) cleansing water. I prefer Dr Jart+ as it really clears up my skin, brightens it and keeps it moist. Use a cotton pad to soak up the mineral water and give your face a thorough wipe.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Bubble cleanser</u></div>
Bubble cleanser are known to be gentle to the skin. I have sensitive skin and my personal experience with bubble cleanser is that it is soft to the skin and does not rip out the moisture from the skin layer. My face usually feels scratchy and looks red after using normal cleanser but not with bubble cleanser. This can only be used for normal cleansing and cannot double up as make up remover.<br />
<br />
I am introducing the product ranked number 2 on get it beauty. It is the Happy Bath (Korean brand) Soap Berry Bubble Foam. The reason I am introducing number 2 instead of number 1 is because of the price. This only costs SGD15 or less (during promotion) whereas the product ranked number 1 costs more than SGD30 (Hera cleansing moose). Of course, go with the product which brings the most value for money (anything that makes its way up to the top 5 list on get it beauty website are worthy to consider).<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Cleansing oil</u></div>
I am not a fan of cleansing oil but for those of you out there who is interested in it, ranked at number 1 is Etude House's Real Art Cleansing Oil Moisture.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<u>Powder wash</u><br />
Powder wash is supposed to clear out dirt from your pores. I have not tried it before but will get my hands on one once I get the chance to.<br />
<br />
Ranked number 1 is Orbis Powder Wash (have not heard of this brand before).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

2. Toner</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The second step after face wash will be toner. Ranked number 1 is Tony Moly's Floria Nutra Energy Toner. I would like to give this a try, currently I am using Innisfree's Olive Real Skin (slightly cheaper) which is ranked at number 3.</div>

3. Face mist</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It seems like alot of people have issues (from comments in the website) with the smell of this face mist which is ranked at number 1. This is Mistian's Facial Mist. Surprisingly, Innisfree's Green Tea Mineral Mist which is ranked at number 5 (same price) has received better comments. I am also using the Innisfree mist which feels refreshing but I prefer Nature Republic's Bee Venom Mist (able to reduce redness).</div>

8. Concealer<br />
<br />
Not a Korean brand this time round but it shows that the blind test is fair right? Ranked at number 1 is none other than Maybeline New York's Age Rewind Concealer. Good news is that you can get this in Singapore!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

9. BB Cusion/Foundation<br />
<br />
BB cushion is a product that is reviewed by many. I have tried out Laneige (I believe most of us started with this brand), Espoir (Clicknetwork says it is used by Korean air stewardess but I have yet to verify), IOPE and LUNA (water essence founpact). Each has its pros and cons and I will use it based on the climate. If I am in Singapore, I tend to prefer Espoir. If I am experiencing winter in Korea, I will go with IOPE or LUNA.<br />
<br />
My skin tone is a Laneige no. 21 and also 21 for IOPE and LUNA. For Espoir, I will choose petal colour.<br />
<br />
Ranked at number 1 is Hera's UV Mist Cushion which I will also try out one day to find out why it is ranked higher than IOPE (ranked at number 3).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After trying out Hera, Laneige, Espoir, IOPE and April Skin, I think April Skin's BB cushion best suit my skin type. The #21 shade perfectly matches that of my skin (I usually use #21 shade for other brands as well). It doesn't cake up or make my face appear shiny at the end of a long day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">It seems like stick foundation is getting popular too. Using a lighter or darker shade, stick foundation can provide highlighting and shading. Ranked at number 4 is A'PIEU's Smart Speeder Stick Foundation (only comes in 2 colour). </span></div>

The recent episode introduces Etude House's stick foundation which has a wider range of colour to cater for shading, blusher and highlighting. The effect is quite subtle and natural. This costs KRW12,000 won.<br />

10. Eyeliner<br />
<br />
The only Korean brand (most affordable) that made it to the list is Banila Co's So Wonder Smooth Gel Eyeliner.<br />

I had a huge problem with eyeliner as I have oily lids. It will almost always smudge (whether it is gel type, pencil type or liquid type). Finally found a saviour, Espoir Bronze Painting Waterproof Eyeliner which costs around KRW12,000. Do check it out, I found this <a href="http://m.post.naver.com/viewer/postView.nhn?volumeNo=5512666&memberNo=7531985&vType=VERTICAL" target="_blank">recommendation</a> from Naver, a list of eyeliners that will not smudge no matter how hard you cry.<br />
<br />
11. Eyebrow<br />
<br />
The first 3 costs more than SGD25 and Peri Pera's Feel So Good Cake Eye Brown only costs around SGD10. I have been trying to find this for the longest time, gave up (can't find it on peri pera website as well so my verdict is that they have stopped production) and bought Etude House's eyebrow powder instead which is ranked at number 5.<br />

Saw this interesting Etude House eyebrow tint which has a surprisingly good effect and review (contrary to lip tattoo). This tint works like a tattoo and produces very natural brow. For girls with dark coloured hair, I will recommend using grey brown colour (no. 3). This costs only KRW8,500.<br />
<br />
It is said to last for 3 days to a week. You can apply and leave it on overnight. Peel it off the next day and tada! Will try this soon, am amazed by the result.<br />

12. Mascara<br />
<br />
The review of this mascara from the host of the show is very promising. It is highly rated for its ability to hold the curl. I can't wait to get my hands on this in May. Ranked at number 2 is Missha's Super Extreme Powerproof Mascara (Volumizing Curler).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

13. Highlighter<br />
<br />
Highlighter can accentuate certain features of your face and is usually applied on the T zone, under the eyes and on the chin. Ranked at number 2 is The Saem's Saemmui Luminous Multi Highlighter (02 Gold Beige).<br />
<br />

<br />
14. Blusher<br />
<br />
Surprised that Etude House is able to make it to the top 5 list for so many products. Ranked at number 1 is Etude House's Lovely Cookie Blusher (11 Peach Chou Wafer).<br />
<br />

<br />
15. Lipstick<br />
<br />
There are quite a few ranking for lipstick and I am just getting information for the latest blind test which is comparing the rose coloured lipsticks. Ranked at number 1 is Missha's Signature Dewy Rouge (PK02 Rose Geranium). From the reviews, it seems like the smell of this lipstick is pleasant and it doesn't stain easily. I am not a fan of rose colour thus will try out either the Wink Bunny or Desert Coral tone.<br />

<br />
My personal recommendation is Mamonde Creamy Lip Tint that is endorsed by Park Shin Hye. It comes in a variety of colours and keeps the lip moist. I can't say that it doesn't stain your cup but minimal staining as compared to the rest. Traditional lipsticks have some sort of chemical taste but this has none and costs only KRW8,000.<br />
<br />
16. Make-up Fixer<br />
<br />
After all the effort to get your make-up done, how do you ensure that it stays the same for the next 24 hours? The answer to this is make-up fixer. Ranked at number 2 is Too Cool For School's Perfect Day Make-Up Fixer which costs KRW12,000. Ranked at number 1 is So Natural's All Day Tight Make-Up Setting Fixer at KRW15,000. I have not come across this brand before so thought finding it would be a challenge.<br />

<br />
17. Hair Essence<br />
<br />
After towel drying your hair, it is recommended to apply essence to the tip of your hair. Ranked at number 2 is Tony Moly's Make HD Silky Argan Oil.<br />

I have decided to do the piano score for Descendants of the Sun OST part 1 - Always (Yoon Mirae). You can click <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bx6Ubh4i50yXOVg0YWkxSFZBcGc/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">download</a> to get the pdf.<br />
I have taken a lot of effort to write this sheet thus please do not re-upload without credit.<br />
<br />
Recently got addicted to this drama which is a big hit in Korea and other parts of the world. I can relate well to it partly because of my Korean military bf.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy this song as much as I do. Visit my youtube channel for the ukulele version at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/janetyh" target="_blank">www.youtube.com/janetyh</a>.<br />

Similar to Jeju, it has lovely beaches and fresh seafood. If you need help with your planning or require an itinerary, just leave a comment below with your email. I will try my best to help you find out what you need to know.<br />
<br />
<u><b>How to get to Busan from Seoul?</b></u><br />
The easiest and fastest way to get to Busan is by air. It costs around 70,000 won one way and it takes around 1 hour (one way). A cheaper and fuss free alternative is KTX. One way trip costs 59,800 won and it takes about 2 hours 40 minute. Board from Seoul Station and alight at Busan. The KTX trips are quite frequent and the ride is comfortable. <br />

You can buy lots of snack at Seoul station beforehand to last you the entire journey.<br />
<br />

<br />
Once you have reached there, you can either rent a car or take the subway. However, before that, you need to book a hotel.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Hotel Accommodation</u></b><br />
I have introduced this hotel in my Seoul blog <a href="http://travelody.blogspot.sg/2015/03/affordable-accomodation-toyoko-inn-in.html" target="_blank">post</a>, it is none other than Toyoko Inn Haeundae Busan. There are 5 branches in Busan (they sure are expanding fast). This hotel is cheap and good, provides free breakfast too.<br />
<br />
If you don't have a car, recommend staying near Busan Station (Toyoko Inn Busan Station No. 1). The KTX from Seoul will bring you to the doorstep of your hotel. If you intend to spend more time at the beach, you can try the Haeundae branch (2 branches there, 1 of them opened on 23 Jan 2016). They are 10 minutes walk from Haeundae subway station though.<br />

<br />
<b><u>What to eat in Busan?</u></b><br />
Our first breakfast will always be to 원조전복죽 (pronounced as won jo jon bok juk), a 24 hour restaurant that sells abalone porridge. It is located in the Pale De Cz building opposite Toyoko Inn Busan Haeundae No. 1. We have gone back to this place thrice, so you know how delicious it is.<br />

It is about a 15 minute walk from Haeundae Beach subway station. Take exit 5 or 3 and walk towards the beach.<br />
<br />
Next recommendation, head over to Gukje Market (국제시장) near BIFF. The nearest station is 자갈치역 (Jagalchi station). Take exit 7 and walk down the main road. This is by far, the best spicy rice cake that I have tasted. You can see that the rice cake is different from those you see at road side stalls. It is longer. This is made of rice instead of mixing flour into it. Busan is famous for their rice cake and fish cake.<br />
This is purchased from 소문난분식 (pronounced as So Mun Nan Bun Sik).<br />

If you can't find this store, fret not. There is another in the same market that was featured on Korean Culinary Show called 이가네 (pronounced as E Ga Ne). Look for the store with the most people and you probably got it. The shop sells hotdog as well.<br />
<br />
How can you not eat seafood when you are near the beach? The one we went to is near Gwanganri beach where you get to see night view of Gwangandae bridge. It is located on the 6th floor of the building called 통영횟집 (pronounced as tong yeong hui jib). You can either go for their set menu (highly recommended if you can't speak Korea, just say A/B/C course) or choose your seafood at the first floor (segregated by restaurant) then take the lift with your live seafood in a bucket up to the restaurant. Be sure to ask about the price before you choose.<br />

However, I have other recommendations for seafood (live octopus etc). You can head to 민락횟타운 (pronounced as minrak hui town) and choose their C course (30,000 won for one person). I have not been there before but I have seen many good reviews on naver (reviewed by Koreans). To order, just say "C course juseyo". It consists of abalone, octopus (raw and cooked), sushi, side dishes, steamed egg, one plate of sashimi etc.<br />

<b><u>What to do in Busan?</u></b><br />
<br />
Head to Tae Jong Dae (태종대) park. If you don't have a car, getting there can be tricky. You will have to take the subway (line 1) to Nampodong (남포동), exit from exit 6 and you will find a bus stop. You can either board bus number 8, 30 or 88. It takes about 30 minutes. If boarding from Busan station, take bus 101.<br />
<br />
You can purchase tickets for train ride (다누비 pronounced as Danubi) that will bring you to a few scenic spots. You can just get on and off at any stops. It costs 2,000 won per person but definitely worth it.<br />

Tired from a day of walking? Head to Shinsege Centum City Spaland to relax. The Spaland is filled with facilities (movie room, rest area, restaurant, sauna) and is nicely done up. It is open from 6am till 12am (last entrance at 10:30pm). Entrance fee is 15,000 won on weekdays and 18,000 won on weekends/public holidays. Each person is limited to stay in there for 4 hours.<br />
<br />
There is an outdoor area for you to soak your feet. If you need some privacy, you can head to the cubicles at the back of the picture below.<br />

On the to visit list is Haedong Yonggungsa. I think I lost all my pictures taken there. It is actually a temple located on the cliffs. It is quite a scenic spot thus, don't give it a miss even though you are not Buddhist.<br />
<br />
<b><u>What to buy in Busan?</u></b><br />
If you are interested in getting some hanbok, can walk around the market to look for good deal. This was purchased at the market at around SGD50 or so. The real hanbok usually costs much more than this.<br />

Starting from today (2 Mar 16), Gyeongbok Palace will have a special night opening (7pm to 10pm). Refer to opening dates at the bottom of this post. Do note that palace will be closed on Tuesdays.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
The entrance fee is 3,000won per person and they limit purchase to 4 tickets per person. All Koreans have to purchase tickets in advance however foreigners will be able to get tickets there on the day itself. Only 500 tickets will be sold to foreigners a day (entry limited to 2,500 people a day). Try to get your tickets early to enjoy the palace night view.<br />
<br />
This is how the queue looks like 30 minutes prior to ticket sales on a Saturday. For those who can't get ticket, there is light show outside the palace entrance as well (forgot if it's 8:30pm or 9pm).<br />

If you go in a hanbok, you get to enter free of charge. You will see lots of local in hanbok as it's quite hard for them to get tickets. In any case, going in hanbok is highly recommended as photos will look good against the palace backdrop.<br />

<div dir="ltr">
Ingredients:<br />
1 zucchini<br />
1 egg (beaten)<br />

<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Slice the zucchini into 5mm thick slices. Lay them on a tray with paper towel and sprinkle some salt over them. Let it dry for 10 minutes. This step is important to get rid of excess water to prevent oil splatter when frying.</div>

<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Then use another paper towel to dab and get rid of excess water. Coat the zucchini slices with thin layer of flour then coat it with egg wash.</div>

We are both in love with planes since young (he probably started earlier), attending every airshow, spending hours plane spotting, collecting plane models and watching aviation drama/movies (just like what every other aviation enthusiast does). As you might have expected, airplane brought us together.<br />

Our story of chasing after our passion, is unlike the typical fairytale. I wanted to become a pilot and thus applied to SYFC. However, I got rejected during the medical test due to eyesight (mine was slightly above 300 degrees and back then they only accepted those below 250). Just a year after I applied, they increased the minimum eyesight requirement. I think another reason they were not interested in taking me in was because I applied only when I was in University (too late). I could have gone on to apply for commercial pilot after graduation but I didn't. Honestly, I was afraid that I will be rejected. I went to apply for ATC instead. After passing the second phase of interview, I pulled out as my parents weren't supportive of me working shift. Nevertheless, I still managed to make a living in the aviation field.<br />

His story is far more like a roller coaster ride. Unlike me, he is focused and determined - took the first step and never looked back. He got into pilot training (arduous journey which I shall not elaborate), had a taste of flight but got injured midway. He stopped flying for about a year and then resumed again. All I can say is that he ran out of luck. His dream had to come to an end, at least for the time being.<br />

Our favourite and most watched aerobatic performance will be the one performed by Korea's Black Eagles. For those who don't know about them, Black Eagles is the flying display team of Republic of Korea Air Force, just like Singapore's RSAF Black Knights. They have performed in 2014 and 2016 Singapore Airshow. We have followed them from Korea to Singapore, to Korea and back to Singapore again. We have seen them change a few versions of their flying manoeuvres but no matter how many times we have watched it, we enjoyed it.<br />

Even though we grew up in different environment, different culture, different nationality and had different first language, it is this passion for plane that has bonded us together. It was probably the only thing we shared in common when we first met.<br />

To all those out there who are pursuing your dream, don't give up. I don't have wonderful success stories to share here but just to let you know (whoever you are), you are not alone. PPK and myself will continue to pursue our passion and dream. No matter how long it takes, I will continue to support him in his pursuit. I believe that if there's a will, there's a way. You might think that it's cliché but I can tell you that believing in it gives you the drive and motivation to make it happen. Sometimes, the journey there is more meaningful than being there. The longer it takes to get there, the more meaningful it is.<br />

Since we have already visited most of the attractions there and coupled with the bad weather, we didn't do much this time round except to chill in the hotel and enjoy the good food here. For more details on Jeju travel, visit my previous post <a href="http://travelody.blogspot.com/2015/04/jeju-travel-tips.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
We took Jeju Air which departs from Gimpo Airport. During this non peak season, it costs less than KRW50,000 for a one way trip. It's a B737, 6 seats abreast.<br />

I am fascinated with how busy Jeju airport always is. No matter which season (been there in summer, autumn and winter), the flights are almost always full.<br />

After alighting and getting our luggage, first task is to visit the car rental counter. KT Kumho has been bought over by Lotte and it is now called Lotte Rent Car. The counter staff will direct you to the gate where the bus is waiting.<br />

After you are done with the administrative stuff, the staff will bring you to your car. If you have rented a Korean made car and purchased insurance, there is not much to worry about checking and reporting defects/scratches to the staff. For safety sake, you should still do a basic check. If you have rented a non Korean made car, insurance will not give you a 100% protection. If I am not wrong, it only insures you up to 40%? Thus, it is very important for you to report the defects to the staff before moving off.<br />
<br />
This time round, we have rented the all new Avante. It costs around KRW150,000 for 4 days rental. This car has only travelled 2,600km so it is pretty new. PPK is a car enthusiast thus we are always trying out new models.<br />

What is so special about this restaurant is that they used Jeju's speciality, Jeju tangerine, to barbecue their pork. The pork is barbecued with the tangerine before it is served (to be barbecued a second time).<br />

So, after first round of barbecue outside by the staff, the black pork is served (can still see the black hair which authenticates it, don't worry, the hair will drop off once grilled). The restaurant basically only has 2 main menu, once seated, they will ask whether you want the ogyeapsal (belly) or normal meat (neck and leg).<br />

You can add on fried rice (볶음밥 pronounced as bokkeumbap) but we were too full after 2 servings of ogyeopsal and 1 serving of normal meat. I don't really like black pork but I must say that this one taste good. However, one thing I do not like about this restaurant is the hygiene. The cutlery feels oily, the table is dirty etc.<br />
<br />
In case you are interested to visit, the address is as follow:<br />
74 Seongeupjeonguihyeon-ro, Pyoseon-myeon, Seogwipo, Jeju-do, South Korea<br />

I have been eyeing this coat since my last visit during Christmas. When I have finally decided to get it, I was told by the shop assistant that the size and colour I was looking for has already been sold out in the whole of Seoul. PPK was quite determined to help me get hold of this coat despite the shop assistant advice. He called almost every branch he could get hold of and finally, we found 1 last piece in Jeju. It must be fate. This is from a well known local brand called Soup (can be found in most departmental store). It is made in Korea (checked the label) and costs KRW230,000. Have always been looking for a coat with hoodie and thanks to PPK's mum for paying the bill.<br />

Our first hotel for the night is Boo Young hotel. It is quite new and is located near to duty free shopping. We have stayed in so many hotel and one rule of thumb is to filter for the new hotels first. These hotels are usually cheaper when they first open for business. How you locate new hotel is by filtering for one with most stars but least number of review.<br />
<br />
There is free underground parking in this hotel. One night costs us around KRW120,000. I don't think I will go back to this hotel again.<br />

This time round, we ordered the Galchi Jorim (갈치조림) which is a kind of stewed fish. This costs KRW60,000 for 2 person. Like always, impressed by their side dishes.<br />

After lunch, we checked into our second hotel, Shilla Hotel. This is one of the few hotels that we have stayed for a second occasion in Jeju. We are really impressed with this hotel, if only it could be cheaper. We paid around SGD312 a night, inclusive of breakfast.<br />
<br />
They actually have a designated check in reception area where the staff will lead you to a seat, ask for your name and handle all the administrative work while you enjoy the tangerine tea. They will bring the key to you and lead you to your room. Now you know what you are paying for.<br />

Even in winter (at -10 deg celcius), the heated pool (can see steam) is filled with people. There is a large screen showing movies which you can watch when taking a swim. The outdoor pool is connected to the indoor pool. You can warm yourself up at the fireplace or the sauna room.<br />

The main highlight for us at this hotel is the breakfast buffet. What I really like about the breakfast is their pastry.<br />

The weather was really bad and usually we don't expect such weather in Jeju. Strong wind coupled with intermittent snowing. It can be sunny for the first 30 min and then snowing for the next 30 min. This continues throughout the day. Thought of visiting Yongyeon pond/lake but had to ditch this plan due to the weather.<br />

We then checked in at KAL hotel located near Jeju City (near to the airport as well). This is because we have a flight to catch the next day. I don't like the hotel at all. It is cheap, costs around SGD90 a night. However, there is no free wifi. The hotel is jaded but still considered clean. There is cable tv.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The room is good for 3, one single bed and one queen size bed. You can see planes taking off from a distance. We had to constantly look out for planes to assure ourselves of the flight status. The wind was at 30 knots which endangers takeoff/landing. </div>

Every trip to Jeju, we can't give sashimi a miss. Once again, we visited the restaurant at Dong Mun Market. This time round, we decided to takeaway. We do see stalls selling cheaper sashimi as compared to this stall but what is baffling is the crowd at this store. Almost everyone in the market congregate at this stall. PKK says it is because the quality of the seafood at this stall can be trusted. It seems like the chef mastered their skill in Japan as their outfit is very Japan-like. The stall is definitely clean.<br />

We ordered sashimi and sashimi don. Somehow, the sashimi in the sashimi don (KRW7,000) tastes better. This is really cheap and good. The sashimi costs us KRW20,000.</div>

The next morning, we woke up late and checked out only at 12pm. We had to return our car at 1pm. Feeling hungry and having a craving for rice cake, we headed out to V Tteokbokki shop after searching for recommendations on naver (naver recommendations never fail). This shop is located opposite Sahara hotel.<br />

We ordered 1 serving of rice cake (1 serving is already alot), 1 serving of fried cuttlefish (leg only) and 1 serving of potato wedges. Unfortunately, they do not have English menu but fortunately, they have pictures on their menu. I fell in love with their fried cuttlefish. If we were to visit again (definitely will), we will try out their gorgonzola pizza (a hit item in Korea, first pizza in the menu above).</div>

After a satisfying brunch, we headed back to the car rental centre. Before returning, we had to make a stop at the petrol kiosk. One thing good about the navigation system is that it shows the price of petrol at each station. We called the car rental centre and they informed us that each litre will be charged at KRW1,375. We found a petrol kiosk near the centre that was charging at KRW1,360.<br />
<br />
The shuttle will take you back to the airport.<br />

You might also bring back boxes of cup noodles and Korean snacks (i.e. market-O brownie from the supermarket). It is common for friends to ask you to help them get cosmetics from Korea as well.<br />

The first time PPK came to visit, he brought Osulloc tea (there is a branch in Myeongdong).<br />

My parents like to drink tea thus this is a practical gift. However, we soon ran out of ideas on what to buy.<br />
It was during Chuseok (known as mooncake festival in SG) when we were hunting for gifts that we chanced upon the Korean snack below, known as 화과자 (pronounced as hwa kwa ja). It tastes like Japanese snack, sweet but not overly sweet. Some contain red bean, some green bean and some green tea. Some tastes like mochi and others taste abit like our mooncake.<br />
<br />
This is bought from a shop called 박찬회화과자 (pronounced as Park Chan Hee Hwa Kwa Ja) located in the basement of Lotte Department Store near Myeongdong. According to PPK, Park Chan Hee is a well known confectioner in Korea. The one below costs 42,000 won, they have those that come in smaller packing as well. This will make great gift especially for someone more senior.<span style="font-family: "dotum" , , "applegothic" , "lucida grande" , "verdana" , "arial" , "tahoma" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><b> </b></span></span><br />

This section is dedicated to latest trending snacks/instant noodles/drinks from Korea. Updated as of October 2016.<br />
<br />
This is the yoghurt jelly which was featured in quite a few variety show. I will definitely buy more of these when I am back there. You can get these at KRW 1,200 from 7-11 (I believe this is only sold in 7-11).<br />

This is the yoghurt drink which tastes like yakult. Not sure why the craze over it. You can find this at Olive Young as well. I believe same price as the candy.<br />

According to my bf, this is the new trending instant noodle from Korea. Instant jjambbong! It actually tastes quite good. It is called 불짬뽕 (i.e. fire jjambbong) for a reason. You can really taste the wok hei/taste of fire. You have to try it to understand what I am trying to say. I have never been a jjambbong lover but this is good. Noticed that Korea is selling budaejjiegae instant noodle as well. Definitely will give that a try on my next trip.<br />

This is the recommended list from my personal perspective.<br />
<br />
I have included the Korean dish names so in the situation where no on can understand English, you can recognise the Korean characters.<br />
<br />
<u>1. RIMINI</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
I really hope that one day, Rimini will have a branch here in Singapore because I have a constant craving for the 고르곤졸라 피자 (gorgonzola pizza with honey dip, 9,900 won). They serve good spaghetti as well. Almost all restaurants in Korea offers free flow of soft drinks and this restaurant is no exception. To ask for refill, just say "Re-pil jom hae juseyo" while pointing to your drink.<br />
<br />
The most accessible branch should be the one near Ewha station (direction shown below) although I have never visited this branch before.<br />

<u>2. 왕비집 Wang Bi Jib</u><br />
<br />
Next all time favourtie is Wang Bi Jib. They offer cheap set menu between 1130am to 5pm. The recommended branch is in Myeong Dong. There are 3 branches there, hard to miss if you were to look up (at second floor). Assuming you are exiting from Myeong Dong subway (exit 6), turn right after you pass by Uniqlo and continue walking until you pass Nine Tree Hotel, look up and you should see their signboard which reads 王妃家. There is no problem with you speaking Chinese there.<br />
<br />
I have always order the two set menus below. Do note that the meat are already bbq-ed when served.<br />

<u>3. 신선설농탕 Sinseon Seolnongtang</u><br />
<br />
This is where they film Shinning Inheritance (Ilsan branch). What I really love about this restaurant is their kimchi (they sell it in packs too)! They have two types of kimchi, one aged and one freshly made. I prefer the freshly made ones. I think I consume more kimchi than the main dish.<br />

Again, you can get this at Myeong Dong (come out from exit 8, pass by nature republic and walk all the way down, can refer to KTO website). I love their rice cake dumpling soup. The dumpling is actually quite nice, not much meat in this though which is perfect for me.<br />

<u>4. 새마을식당 (Sae Maeul Sik Dang)</u><br />
<br />
This is another of my favourite bbq pork restaurant. It is opened by 백정원 who is a celebrity chef in Korea. Order the 연탄불고기 (pronounced as yeon tan bulgogi which means charcoal bbq pork). It costs 8,000 won for 1 pax. You will need to order rice (costs additional 1,000 won).<br />
<br />
The next "must order" from this restaurant is the 7분 돼지김치 (pronounced as chil bun dwae ji kimchi which meant 7 minute pork kimchi). It is called 7 minute pork kimchi (by the way this is kimchi soup) because the chef believe that 7 minutes is the recommended cooking time. This dish costs 5,000 won and comes with rice.<br />
<br />
You can find this restaurant at either Hong Dae or Myeong Dong.<br />

<u>5. 죠스떡볶이 (Jaws Tteokbokki)</u><br />
<br />
This is not really a restaurant but rather, an eatery which sells snack. They sell spicy rice cake (매운떡볶이, 3,000 won per portion), tempura (수제튀김, 2,500 won for 5 selection), fish cake (부산 어묵, 700 won for 1 stick, 2,000 won for 3 sticks) and pig's intestine (찹쌀순대, 3,500 won). They have lots of pictures so don't worry about not being able to speak Korean. In any case, if you were to visit the Myeong Dong branch, you will find waitresses who are able to speak Chinese. Don't bother to fill up the order form as unfortunately, it is all in Korean.<br />
<br />
You can also go for their set menu. Usually we will order peach juice (쿨피스 which is pronounced as kul pis, 500 won).<br />

<u>6. 송추가마골 (Song Chu Ga Ma Gol)</u><br />
<br />
If you are a fan of beef, you definitely have to give this a try. You can either order the 송추갈비 (pronounced as song chu gal bi, 29,000 won per 250g portion, from USA) or 가마골갈비(pronounced as ga ma gol gal bi, 36,000 won per 360g portion, from NZ).<br />
<br />
The branch most accessible will be the one at B1 of IFC mall (Yeouido Station). This branch is newly opened. I am not sure if they have English menu.<br />

<u>7. 가마로강정 (Ga Ma Ro Gang Jung)</u><br />
<br />
I am not a fan of fried chicken but the chicken at this chain restaurant is really well marinated. Even with the thick layer of sauce, it has the crunchy bite. If you look clearer, you will find fried rice cakes packed together with the chicken. Having a bite of chicken and then rice cake provides a texture contrast.<br />
<br />
Although there are many branches around, they are not located in the tourist areas. If you happen to go to Yeongdeungpo for underground shopping, or visiting cafe MAMAS (refer to another post on this cafe), then you can drop by (refer to map below).<br />

<u>8. 교촌치킨</u><u> (Kyo Chon Chicken)</u><br />
<br />
Many might have come across this brand due to the celebrity endorsements (current one is Lee Min Ho). Their honey combo (교촌허니콤보 pronounced as kyo chon honi kombo) is something that I have constant craving for. It consists of wings and drum and one box costs 18,000 won. It comes with pickled radish as well as small can of soft drink.<br />
<br />
They have lots of branches in Seoul. You can takeaway, dine in or order delivery (you need to know Korean). The most accessible branch will be the one near Dongdaemun station (refer to map below). It is located on the 2nd floor and opens 24 hours. This branch has both Chinese and English translation on the menu thus you need not worry.<br />

<u>8. 놀부</u><u> (Nolbu)</u><br />
<br />
How can you give budaejjigae (known as army stew) a miss when you are in Korea. This dish has a story behind it. In the past, Korean soldiers used to eat leftovers (mainly sausage and ham) from US soldiers and they created this dish with a western korean fusion.<br />
<br />
You can find Nolbu almost everywhere, menu has English translation. We had ours at Yongsan Digital Mall (was looking for spigen S6 neo hybrid CC case but couldn't find it).<br />

We visited cafe MAMAS recently, a must go for panini lovers. They serve decent brunch and is quite popular with the locals. We ordered some of the recommended dishes like 허니까멍치즈파니니 (honey camembert cheese panini, 8,500 won), 단호박 스프 (sweet pumpkin soup, 6,500 won) and 호두바나나쥬스 (walnut banana juice, 4,000 won).</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Other recommended dishes are the ricotta cheese salad and mozerella tomato panini.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The honey camembert cheese panini is flavourful, crispy on the outside. The honey and cheese complements each other. I am not a fan of pumpkin soup but the one sold here is delicious.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
There are a few cafe MAMAS stores in Seoul but the most accessible one I guess will be the branch at Times Square 4th floor, yeongdeungpo station. Can head over to the underground shopping area after dinning.</div>

A quick post to summarise the happenings in 2015.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
As of 31 Dec 2015, I have been with PPK (how I address my Korean bf) for exactly 1,000 days. It certainly is no simple feat. We have been through ups and downs. I have never regretted having the downs as it made us who we are today, more understanding of each other. <br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Over the 1,000 days, I have been to Korea for 18 times. Due to his work schedule, sometimes I will only get last minute notice (sometimes after I board my flight) of whether we are able to meet (we only meet in Korea ever since he started his training 2 years back). I know it sounds crazy but that is the power of love. All these would not have been possible if not for my Company's benefit.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
2015 hasn't been easy for us. He has been going through a tough time in terms of his career. It has also sparked me to wonder what career options do I have in Korea.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The future is daunting but I know we will pull through it as long as we have each other's support.<br />
<br /></div>

I thought of buying it in Korea but chanced upon a recipe from 백종원.<br />
<br />
This recipe is simple so have fun making lots of it, goes well with porridge.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY5JbiegM1-uD9UA74W1zHzgGK5OZITGk2rH7GKq-AT56gitmI5I63AmKp2-pX1sCiX7Ys5mgioEx9syo-pM9zcdi_yI2tWIcKC5HToChjrCeyv8LhzZ3_cnxZkoYYbTiovIeZnxO4LHgY/s1600/20160101_180910.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY5JbiegM1-uD9UA74W1zHzgGK5OZITGk2rH7GKq-AT56gitmI5I63AmKp2-pX1sCiX7Ys5mgioEx9syo-pM9zcdi_yI2tWIcKC5HToChjrCeyv8LhzZ3_cnxZkoYYbTiovIeZnxO4LHgY/s320/20160101_180910.jpg" width="180" /></a><br />
<br />
Ingredients required:<br />
<br />
Water: Vinegar: Sugar in ratio of 1:1:1 (simple right?)<br />
50ml water<br />
50ml vinegar<br />
50ml brown sugar (normal sugar works fine)<br />
1 tsp salt<br />
Cinnamon<br />
Black pepper<br />
I used 1.5 cucumber, you can use any kind of vegetable (carrot, cabbage etc), just ensure that the vegetables are sufficiently submerged in the liquid (just like photo below).<br />
<br />
Add water, vinegar, sugar, salt and cucumber into a pot and boil over small fire. Please taste the stock before adding in the cucumber. You can adjust the salt level to your liking.<br />
<br />
Once it starts to bubble, add in a pinch of cinnamon and sprinkle of salt. Let it boil for about 15 seconds more then off the fire. Transfer content into an ice bath to cool it down. Then store it in the fridge.<br />

Just to qualify myself, I have been to Jeju 5 times after I started dating my boyfriend. Each time we will be there for about 3 days. I am going to introduce you to the road less travelled by foreigners but highly recommended by the locals.<br />
<br />
To put things into perspective, entire Jeju is divided into 5 regions - North, South, East, West and Central. The resort like places are aggregated in the South, if you are looking for nice scenery head West and your first stop will be the airport which is located North. Halasan is in the centre and Udo is in the East.<br />

<u>1. Air Ticket</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
The first step to your Jeju trip is to book yourself a domestic air ticket from Gimpo Domestic Terminal. If you arriving on an international flight (I assume not from Japan or China), you will land in Incheon International Airport. From here, you can either take subway or a bus (recommended for ease and convenience) to Gimpo. Almost all buses will pass by Gimpo Airport (there is international and domestic), just ask the information counter. You usually need to pay for your bus ticket at the counter or you can pay the bus driver directly. T money works as well (make sure you have enough credit). The ride usually costs around 2,500 won to 4,000 won. Be at the airport 40 minutes before your departure time.<br />
<br />
You will need your passport for verification when entering the departure area. If you are there in winter, don't leave your down jacket in your luggage because there is a likelihood that your plane is parked in a remote bay (meaning you have to take a bus and climb the stairs). Flight time is around 1 hour, buy some snacks, the carriers usually provide complimentary drinks (orange juice, green tea, water and coffee/tea).<br />
<br />
<u>2. Hotel</u><br />
<br />
I have tried 9 different hotels which I will introduce below.<br />
<br />
The first hotel I have been to is Lotte City Hotel. The hotel is located near the airport and Jeju city. There are not much attractions around the area (very city like) except for the market place. Nothing special about this hotel except that it's clean and modern. Prices of hotels in this area (North) are cheaper than those in the South.<br />

<br />
The second hotel I am going to introduce you is The Shilla Jeju, it is located South of Jeju. You will get the resort feel in this area. The room refurbishment is not exactly updated but still clean. We enjoyed the breakfast in this hotel.<br />

<br />
The view from the room's balcony is breathtaking. I think we paid about S$500 for a night because it was during Chuseok (one of the festival in Korea with long holidays). The price range for this hotel usually ranks at the higher end. If you are going to stay in this hotel, please buffer for some relaxation time in the hotel.<br />

There is an indoor and outdoor pool in this hotel. The indoor pool is connected to the outdoor one. You can even find an activity/games room here.<br />

The third hotel we stayed in was The Kensington Hotel. It is located near Shilla Hotel (South). I love this hotel because of the modern feel. I like the room designs, something different from the usual. They use wallpaper and colour combination to create the feeling that you are on a cruise ship. Price wise, in the range of Shilla Hotel. If you have time, you can walk around the building and the pool area, it's quite picturesque.<br />

The fourth hotel is something not worth mentioning. We were supposed to stay in Heavichi but we ended up in Hotel Sumorum (South). It's clean and new but nothing fanciful. I don't think I have snapped any pictures because we had a hard time coming to terms with not being able to stay in Heavichi (reservation was done for an earlier date). But I think I took a photo of the hotel breakfast. There is a choice of American or Korean style breakfast set. The one below is abalone porridge (Korean style).<br />

<br />
The fifth hotel we stayed in was WE Hotel Jeju (South). This is my recommended hotel in terms of price, comfort and location. This hotel is quite new and is termed as a medical resort. The interior and service are comparable to that of the high end hotels. The hotel is located in a huge compound near Shilla Hotel. All of this for half the price of what you pay for Shilla and Kensington.<br />
<br />
My boyfriend told me that their indoor swimming pool is made of some miracle water that can beautify your skin complexion, we tried for two days and I think our skin condition did improve a little? Still don't know whether it's true but one thing for sure is that the pool water is very clean and there is no smell of chlorine. You can spin dry your swim wear in the washroom. Oh, remember to bring your swim cap, if not, pay 2,000 won to get one before entering the pool. I think Korea is quite strict about this.<br />
<br />
The room has 1 double bed and 1 single bed (can accommodate 3 people). There is an area near the large floor-to-ceiling window with sofa and coffee table, nice place to enjoy the sunset. You can request for sea view room. So much has been said but a pity that I didn't take any photos! Do check out this hotel, highly recommended. I am pretty sure they will increase their price sometime soon.<br />
<br />
The sixth hotel is Ocean Palace Hotel. This hotel comes with breakfast (choice is limited and taste is below average) which is highly not recommended unless it is free. The hotel room is pretty big and can easily fit 3-4 people. It is more like a studio apartment with a living room and kitchen (with washing machine). It is highly recommended for big group on a budget. Within walking proximity, you can find mini mart, starbucks and some eatery. The market is also close by.<br />

<br />
Last but not least, my personal favourite, Jeju Bom Stay Resort. This place is a little inaccessible thus you will definitely need a car. However, I can assure you a pleasant stay at this resort. This is a museum cum resort. The host is friendly (family owned resort). You get a nice sea view, a small pool (if you select duplex with pool) and a fantastic breakfast. This resort is not expensive either.<br />
<br />
They have limited villas though.<br />

This hotel is actually slightly cheaper as compared to Shilla and Kensington. I was there during winter (paid around SGD300 per night) and the outdoor pool were drained. There is an indoor pool but really small. Will try out the hotel breakfast next time round.<br />
<br />
Update May 2018:<br />
On our recent trip with parents from both sides, we decided to try out apartment/villas with three rooms. We booked Somerset Shinhwa world and Lotte Art Villa. The winner is Somerset Shinhwa World. This is a new apartment - modern, new and incredibly cheap. SGD286 for a night and can sleep up to 6 people. This apartment is built in the new Shinhwa resort area with a theme park. All the facilities are due to complete in a few years' time. We did not opt for the breakfast as it was overpriced at KRW45,000 per person. You can easily get breakfast from paris baguette, located within Shinhwa World, they have convenience store and kimbap shop too. Alternatively, whip up your own meal in the kitchen.<br />

The second accommodation we tried out was Lotte Art Villa. We had high expectation but this was abit of disappointment. This cost around SGD790 per night, can sleep up to 8 persons. Breakfast is around KRW30,000 per person, not buffet style. Every room comes with a toilet and there is an outdoor jaccuzzi on the second floor. This place is too big for our liking, rooms are located on the first floor and kitchen and living room on the second floor. The car is parked on the second floor thus it is not so convenient to move the luggage from the car to the rooms. It is not conducive to get people to gather around too. Furniture are jaded as compared to Shinhwa World, we had problems with some of the equipment but staff are quitr prompt to assist. In summary, not worth the price. You are better off booking three rooms at lotte hotel, the facilities are much better there.<br />

<u>3. Car rental</u><br />
<br />
Most people rent a car to drive around Jeju because it's more convenient and it's not very expensive to rent a car in Jeju as compared to Seoul. Our favourite rental company is KT Kumho because my boyfriend is in the military and they offer discounts. If you sign up for membership, you are entitled to discounts as well.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Update: KT Kumho has been bought over by Lotte.</span><br />
<a href="https://www.lotterentacar.net/eng/short/short_jeju_guide.do" id="yiv6248938542yMail_cursorElementTracker_0.2616703745443374" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #196ad4; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">https://www.lotterentacar.net/eng/short/short_jeju_guide.do</a><br />
<br />
There is a service desk at Jeju airport, if you have pre-booked a car, they will direct you to board their shuttle bus which will take you to the office of the car rental company.<br />
<br />
Be sure to get GPS. The car company will provide you with a guide book with some coupons. If you are getting a Korean car (Kia, Hyundai etc), it comes with full insurance coverage and you need to be overly concerned with checking the car condition before driving off. If you are getting an imported car (like our mini shown below), be sure to check for scratches and inform the staff to note it down. The insurance coverage for imported car is not full coverage so better safe than sorry.<br />
<br />
We have tried a few types of car, different sizes and price range. The cheapest will be Ray (third photo) and the most expensive is the mini (first photo). The Kia Sorento is quite comfortable to drive around in, especially if you are going to Udo and your car needs to take the ship ride. Don't ever board the ship with mini because the ramp will scratch against the bottom of the mini. Surprisingly, my favourite is the Ray. It's easy to manoeuvre, easy to find parking lot (certain lots reserved for small cars) and easy to illegal park (especially if you are going to Dongmum market). Most importantly, it is cheap (especially if you are travelling in small group of less than 3) and fuel efficient. I don't think I will ever rent the mini again though it's quite an experience.<br />

The rental company expects you to refill the tank before you return the car. Try to refill before entering the city area. The nearer you are to the airport, the more expensive the petrol gets.<br />
<br />
Update Dec 2016:<br />
This car, Chevrolet Spark, has become my boyfriend's personal favourite. Just the right size for 2 people and more comfortable to drive as compared to Ray. We drove around for 4 days with just 1 round of refuel at 40,000 won. The rental is cheap too.<br />

<u>4. Food</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
While many websites recommend the type of food to eat, they do not provide information on which restaurant to go to. Jeju is famed for its seafood so a trip to the market is a must.<br />
<br />
You will find Dong Mun Market (Dong Mun Shi Jang) not too far from the airport. If you are there, be sure to look out for <span style="font-family: , "gulim" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">올레수산 </span>(pronounced as Olleh Su San). The restaurant is clean (looking at the chef's outfit, they seem to have learned their skills from Japan), prices are reasonable (also clearly stated) and they can communicate in Chinese. Be sure to try out the sashimi and sashimi mixed rice (회덮밥 pronounced as Huei-Top-Bap) which costs around KRW7,000. They have a base charge of around KRW3,000 for the side dishes and sauces.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikE2jNV_JVq1alof3V0-aoPqB3CJf_ZMPL6LStz8uU7iNMGaPr71nQfB9a9G5z8ybkKgsFSq8foANDEn1WkU734FzimsW5cJBW_t_bePbRGntngqMOIDgSVcINKnReeTExzELTGd2T7Sdq/s1600/IMG_20150223_020304_387.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikE2jNV_JVq1alof3V0-aoPqB3CJf_ZMPL6LStz8uU7iNMGaPr71nQfB9a9G5z8ybkKgsFSq8foANDEn1WkU734FzimsW5cJBW_t_bePbRGntngqMOIDgSVcINKnReeTExzELTGd2T7Sdq/s320/IMG_20150223_020304_387.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Jeju is also famous for their black pork. The better known ones can be found online (for example 늘봄).<br />
I have tried this dish at three different restaurants. My favourite is <span style="color: #333333; font-family: , "dotum" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">솥뚜껑 </span>(pronounced as Sot-ddu-kkong). It is located in the south (near the resort area in Jungmun). One set (550g) good for 2-3 people includes a good mix of parts (neck meat, leg and belly) and it costs KRW40,000. Rice (KRW1,000) has to be ordered separately and remember to try their Kimchi soup (kimchi jjigae) which costs KRW6,000.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red;">Update: There is a change of owner for the black pork restaurant recommended above, the quality has deteriorated. You are better off trying 늘봄 (Neul Bom). There is another restaurant gathering popularity due to its appearance in Korea's culinary programme. It is too crowded for my liking. You can check it out <a href="http://travelody.blogspot.sg/2016/01/recent-travel-to-jeju-full-itinerary.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>

Next special thing that can only be found in Jeju is this snack called Omegi Tteok (오메기떡). I will recommend buying it at Hareubang Tteok Bang (<span class="hl" style="font-family: , "gulim" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">하르방</span><span style="font-family: , "gulim" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">떡방). </span>This snack is made of rice (special herb thus the interior appears green) covered with red bean.</div>

Jeju is also known for its green tea. Don't forget to drop by Osulloc, near the west. The place is crowded with tourists and if you are thinking of trying out their green tea roll (only available here), be sure to drop by early to avoid disappointment (you can easily get it at the Myeong Dong branch too). It is really hard to get a seat in there. The green tea ice cream (can get in Seoul as well) is fabulous too.<br />

Walk over to innisfree at Osulloc and you will find another cafeteria there. Try their orange shaved ice (Jeju is known for their oranges) and sausage hotdog (black pork sausage which is Jeju's specialty).<br />

Another must try is abalone. The abalone there are so much cheaper than anywhere else.<br />

The next must try is hair tail fish/cutlass fish known as 갈치 in Korean. You can't find this anywhere else in Korea. This restaurant 춘심이네 (Chun Shim E Ne) is visited by casts of Superman Returns (triplets and sarang). You can order the set menu (grilled cutlass fish) which comes with sashimi and side dishes. This costs 65,000 won for a party of 2 but is totally worth it. There is a big car park lot near the restaurant. Be sure to arrive early as there are usually long queue. You can google for the location of this restaurant by typing Changcheon-ri, 160-4.<br />

Soesokkak is where water from Hallasan flows to. There ia an area near Oeldolgae where you can swim (refer to second picture). The view is spectacular. I will definitely try swimming there one day.<br />

I would like to highlight a few of my favourties here.<br />
<br />
Ranking number 1 is Woljeongri Beach. I have never seen waters so green and clear before. Coupled with the windmill in the background, you can expect to snap wonderful pictures here.<br />

There are public toilets and wash areas around but they charge a fee. I highly recommend a dip.<br />
<br />
Do drop by this churros place (M Churro, 엠츄로) near the beach. There is a small parking lot infront of this cafe (FOC if you buy something from the cafe). This will solve your parking problem when visiting the beach. This cafe offers a scenic view of the beach. Try their churros (3,200 won for plain/sugar/cinnamon 3,700 won for the chocolate special), Yuzu drink (상금유자) and bingsu (shaved ice). Google for 550-1 Woljeong-ri, Gujwa-eup on google map.<br />

The next recommendation is Songaksan (송악산). You can walk along the seaside trail and enjoy the magnificent scenery with horses in the background.<br />

Next up is Udo. You should really visit this island. It is easy to travel around the island (bus, car, scooter, bicycle, ATV etc). You can only reach the island by ferry (your car can ride on this ferry too, the ticket price for your vehicle depends on the capacity, 7 seater costs more than normal sedan). During the festive season, queue for the ferry can be long at seongsan (I presumed most will take the ferry from this port). Recommended to arrive early and watch out for the last ferry out of the island otherwise you will have to spend a night there. By the way, we spotted dolphins when taking the ferry to Udo so keep a lookout.<br />

<br />
Grab a map of Udo before you board the ferry, common places of interests are Seobin Baeksa (white sand beach near the port), the lighthouse etc.<br />
<br />
The specialty of Udo is peanut. Do give the peanut ice cream a try near 검멀레 해수욕장 (Geommeollae Beach which beans black sand beach). Try the peanut ice cream from Jimmys Natural Ice Cream shop near the beach. Google for 317-2 Yeonpyeong-ri using google map. They offer a dinning area on the second floor where you get a good view of the beach and the speed boat. You can ride the speedboat, price written on the signboard near the beach. It is not expensive but the thought of putting on life jackets reeking of sweat put us off.<br />

If you are there during winter, go strawberry plucking at the place shown below. You pay 18,000 won for one person and eat till your hearts content while you are inside. You are also allowed to fill up one pack of strawberry for takeaway.<br />

I am speaking from my own experience. I have been through different phases of long distance relationship and these experiences have matured my thinking. I think I am qualified enough to write this post.<br />
<br />
<u>1. Things will improve with time</u><br />
<br />
No, things will not improve with time unless both parties are committed to make things work. You can't go to bed, wake up 2 years later and expect your relationship to blossom. As time passes by, you get to know each other a little more and behaviour becomes more predictable. You will know what the other person is thinking and less guess work needs to be done. But all these require effort and communication.<br />
<br />
<u>2. Love can overcome the distance</u><br />
<br />
This may sound encouraging but don't plunge into a long distance relationship based on inspirational quotes. Both parties in a long distance relationship need to be independent, matured and independent. I stress on independence because believe it or not, loneliness will kick in at some point of time. You can call, message and skype but some emotions cannot be relayed through these channels. If you enter into a long distance relationship with a healthy starting point, meaning you are already very satisfied with your life, then you possess the right mentality to be engaged in such relationship. If you are someone in need of that companion to make your life complete, think twice.<br />
<br />
This is how your typical day sounds like in a long distance relationship. You wake up in the morning and check your phone for messages, you greet each other good morning and hurry off to work/school. Throughout the day, you drop each other messages and words of encouragement. You message and then you wait for a reply. If the reply doesn't come, you start wondering what's wrong. Sometimes you will receive photos from him/her and you smile to yourself. The usual things you say to each other are "How's your day?", "What are you doing?", "Have you eaten?", "I love you." and "I miss you.". Your life revolves around your phone. When you see other couples, you can't help thinking, how good if you could be here.<br />
<br />
Occasionally, you fly over to meet up with your love. Those were the happiest moments of your life then comes the time when you have to bid each other goodbye. Such scenes will replay countless times and no matter how many times you have been through it, saying goodbye will not get easier with time.<br />
<br />
<u>3. It's just a matter of trust</u><br />
<br />
Trust is a really tricky term to use. No matter how strong you are mentally and how trusting you are in your partner, there will be times when you start having doubts and suspicion. You will experience internal conflict when you can't use logic to gel the facts together. There is nothing you can do when you are miles apart. The only thing you can do is to trust. If you ever thought of checking up on your partner, forget it, it makes this love meaningless. You can do it once, you can do it twice but are you going to do it forever? If you find something, the relationship will end, if you find nothing, give yourself a pat on the back but you need to know that you have just broken the bond that holds the both of you together. Simply put, once you start doubting, that's the end.<br />
<br />
Make sure the relationship you are heading into is something worth saying, "I give you the right to hurt me but I know you wouldn't. Even if you did, I have no regrets.". This attitude, coupled with a real nice guy/girl partner who thinks likewise, will make your relationship a success. With this attitude, you no longer need to worry about anything. At the end of this journey, there can be two outcomes - success or failure. What matters most is you have already decided that it's worth risking and you have no regrets.<br />
<br />
<u>4. I need to make sacrifices</u><br />
<br />
I would say, lead a normal life. Long distance relationship doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice everything in your life. In every relationship, it's a give and take. You might try to make up for the guilt of not being able to physically date by skyping every now and then. By the way, it's no one's fault that you two are born or are living in different countries. Spend some time with your families and friends. Love is just one facet of life. Do not give up on your interests and passion. You can give in your all and one day, the relationship ends. What are you going to do then? Crumble and lose the meaning of life?<br />
<br />
If your partner loves you, I am sure he/she wouldn't request you to change your life for him/her. You can be apart but you can still love and be happy even though you are not physically together.<br />
<br />
Love is perhaps the subject that is hardest to master. Having a PhD doesn't guarantee you will have a successful love life. I'd like to think it as fate. Long distance relationship is like many other relationships just that it has an extra hurdle. If you can jump across this hurdle, it makes your relationship so much stronger.<br />
<br />
I have many friends who have been through long distance relationship for a couple of years and are now happily married. It's not impossible but just be prepared to do a little more, endure a little more and understand a lot more.<br />
<br />
