Day 2 - 14 Sept 2013
Jeju Island - (Hotel)Good stay December hotel / Teddy bear museum / Ripely believer or not museum
Woke up early to get ready. After we done with checking out, the front desk didn't even offer to help us to book a cab when its even raining outside.
It was easy to find the counter for Eastar Airline, we went to do check in first (with that large bags, so inconvenience to walk around). The counter was able to speck easy English, with that checking in was fast.
We still have some time before boarding, we went to have breakfast. Because don't feel like having rice for breakfast, so we had burger.
After breakfast, we headed in to departure hall, thinking we could see / shop a bit, but we were so wrong, there were nothing but a 7-11. So we just walked to boarding area and wait .
I can say that this was my most scary flight ever. The first 5 min after take off, it was going up and down, totally like roller coaster ! But once it's in the air, it's stable again
Because it was just an hours flight (from Seoul, Gimpo Airport to Jeju Island international Airport), they only serve drink on flight. There were a lot of baby on-board and they just cried non-stop. Was nothing much we can see and do, so we just sat back and nap for a while (since we woke up so early this morning to catch this flight)
To make the flight more interesting, flight assistant was playing scissor paper stone with passenger. Standing in front, those who want to play, just rise up your hand. If you win, keep the hand in the air, if you lose, bring your hand down. The final person standing win a small gift (because really understand what they are saying, can't join in)
It was raining when we landed. Maybe because it was domestic flight, it doesn't link to terminal but we have to take a shutter bus into terminal. It was surprising to me that there was no custom & we could just proceed to collect our bag. We had to cab to our hotel, and it seem like all cab uncle don't really like tourist, all having the super scary and unfriendly look. I don't know what to do if we don't have the Korean address on hand
At least there was one uncle that had no scary feeling was the front desk uncle of our hotel - Good stay December Hotel. He was smiling all the way, from the moment we step in till we head up to our room

By the time we finish these 2 museum, we were very very tired, so we took the airport limousine bus back to our hotel (It don't stop outside our hotel, is 2 street away. At least we can don't need to cab back from the airport ! hehe.)
We were too tired and lazy to find a place for food, so we just bought some instant food from the 7-11 and finish it in our room. We need to sleep early and have enough energy for next day
