Day 4 - Jeju: Dragon Head Rock & Dongmun Market

After doing a little speed shopping in Myeongdong we took the subway to Gimpo Airport for our flight to Jeju!

Snack while waiting to get on the plane. I love banana milk!

Taking a bus to the plane.

Boarding... My first time boarding from a stair car!

 

Hi Jeju!

Alas, there was a light rain when we arrived. We took a cab to our accommodation for Jeju, Yeha Guesthouse. The cab fare was only about ₩3.500. After checking in, we asked the front desk for some recommendations on places to visit. The staff were really helpful and even wrote down the names of the attractions in Korean on a piece of paper for us to show to the driver and called a cab for us!

Trying to take a pic in the rain, my umbrella just wouldn't get out of the shot.

There was a make shift shop on the rocks at the bottom with over turned cartons for tables, there the famed Jeju women divers sold fresh caught seafood. We bought an abalone for ₩10,000.

Later, we proceeded to Dongmun traditional market. There were loads of fresh seafood, meats and fruits, mostly tangerines.

After wandering around the market for a while, we found a row of shops selling cooked food. They seemed to all be selling the same thing, ramyeon, tteokbokki, gimbap and pork (I don't know what that was but there were steaming pigs' heads, yes, plural, just sitting there on top of unidentifiable parts) We decided to eat at the one which seemed to have the most customers.

Gimbap and fried mandu.

Ramyeon.
