Jeju... missed it by that much!

Ah yes... Jeju Island. Just saying its name invokes strong emotions akin to living in paradise. Jo and I set off on an epic adventure Friday night, riding in a bus to a Busan ferry terminal, only to get there at the same time as a typhoon hit our island destination. We waited at the terminal until the government ordered all sea-faring vessels to remain in port.

This crushed us, as we were really looking to a two-day whirl wind trip around the island. To make the most of the day, we then jumped back in our bus and headed inland to Boseong (보성), home to some of Korea's best green tea farms. We spent a few hours there, eating and walking in the rain before jumping back in the bus and driving to Gunsan for a quick walk along the world's longest seawall.

All in all, it was a fun 23-hours... and even though we never made it to our initial destination, getting out of the city was a blast.

It's a shame you missed the island, but it certainly appears that you had a marvelous time regardless and saw some beautiful things. Thank you for the information about pouring tea - good to know!

[qiranger]

@thizizliz I'll hopefully get to do a full video on tea here in Korea soon.

Too bad you missed out on going. I got to go to Jeju last week it is pretty cool.

[qiranger]

@jiffmartin Yeah, we'll have to head back there soon.

Nice farm and streams! Better luck getting to Jeju next time!

[qiranger]

@fehquig Yeah, it's just a matter of getting around to there!

Ah... the Saemangeum land reclamation project, ask any dutch engineer and he will tell you how hard that project fails on the technical level.

Ah well, I hope the will learn from it for future projects.

Man - hate that you missed it! That typhoon was crazy! We went back to Jeju this year and ventured over to U-do Island! Very fun!
