Chasing Waterfalls Pt. 2

JumpingLiving in South Korea has been a rewarding experience and Jeju Island is especially beautiful and rightfully named the "Hawaii" of Korea.  With so much to do that involves a very naturally beautiful and relaxed atmosphere, it's quite okay to some things twice and even three times.  This past summer, I've taken numerous opportunities to see as much as I could and soak up the sunshine.

Yes, I've been chasing waterfalls. :)

Of the many museums and tourist attractions I've been to, nothing beats the waterfalls.  I've already penned my time at Jeongbang Waterfall, here. Now let me tell you about Cheonjiyeon Waterfall, just west of Jeongbang Waterfall along route 1132 in Seogwipo.

After paying the \2,000 won cost of admission (Jeju residents), we took a stroll into the area and was greeted with a huge pond of incredibly large but equally beautiful Koi Fish as people were feeding them some bread crumbs thereby attracting them.

Top 20 Things to Do on Jeju Island


Jeju Island has been my home away from home for the last year or so.  And when the weather warms up around May, I am quite ready to see all that I can see as summer swings in.  Jeju is considered the "Hawaii" of Korea and with several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, I am continuously amazed by the serene and beautiful sites that make up Jeju Island.  It took some time figure out where everything was, so I thought, I'd put together a list of the top 20 things to do here on Jeju.

The Tea at O'Sulloc Museum in South Korea

You are here~
I have long been a fan of the benefits that come with a cup of green tea.  Ever since my grandpa mentioned to my grandma about it being a dieters drink, I'd been drinking a small cup daily with breakfast for several years.  Dr. Oz, a featured doctor on the Oprah Winfrey show who later got his his own syndication has raved about these tea leaves named after my favorite color and the benefits that come from drinking it; benefits that include antioxidants and a means for maintaining and/or losing weight.

I'd seen enough pictures of this museum that my interest had been sparked right from the beginning.  Add to the fact that I've long been a fan of the health benefits of green tea... The stars had aligned, today I'd be heading to O'Sulloc (오설록), known to foreigners as The Green Tea Museum.

Here's the tea...
