Introduction

It's been slow for me to update and write about every place that I went in Jeju. I was there on 31st March to 3rd April 2018, and it's May now! Something for sure is that my memory towards the places I visited will not fade away like how half of the Avengers faded away... I don't want to go... (spoiler)

Tinder Supper Date?

Well for a young lady like me, I felt that I had not fully utilized 24-hours of my day to explore. So, I decided to use Tinder to actually swipe and see who is willing to head out with me for a midnight drink. Yes yes, you must be feeling intimidated now because I am using Tinder and you think I am finding a guy to get laid. Stop that stereotyping! Not every Asian use it similarly as how the American uses it.

I never even get to touch any guy in Jeju. He was respecting me as a lady and keeping about 5-8cm of distance for the whole night out. Anyways, we had one of the spiciest chicken in my life. We ordered rice Balls and 2 half-pints of beer. The shop owner was kind enough to give us extra soup and steamed eggs.

According to a comment in Travel Advisor, it says "The 5 day market is named because it opens every 5 days only. There are other 5 day markets in Jeju but this market is said to be the largest in Jeju with 1,000 over stalls".

Everybody loves to think that in order to enjoy a trip, we need to live like a local. Well, I would only agree that statement if the "live" word is replaced by "eat". A local market is the best place to visit because it's meant for the locals here to buy groceries, cheap clothing, plants or spices and have a meal here before heading back home. This is the place for the ones who appreciate the local things during travelling.

When I say eating, I say eat these you travellers! Fried Bugs are a substitute for chicken and beef, they provide protein if not mistaken! Would you buy a pack for yourself as eat it on the bus? No thank you. Jokes aside, these are the fried food that you're interested in.

Or you prefer something fresh for the day? I'm calling for a Steamboat session! Jeju is an Island! Of course, they can get the very best and the very fresh meat from the sea.

If you're okay with fermented food, you can get it here. Trust me, looking at these is not common in my country too. I saw fermented crab and I freaked out. If one day I hear anyone saying they LOVE kimchi, I will slap that fermented crab into his or her mouth and make her swallow it down to their stomach and digest it until they say it's a blessing in disguise. Kimchi is indeed among the healthiest food in the world.

Jeju Tangerines! My, I miss you so much! These are the sweetest tangerines and oranges I've eaten in my whole life. I wish I can actually take back the seeds and plant it here. All plantation only works well in colder countries but sadly Kuala Lumpur is pretty hot every day.

Feed yourself with some good roots. Who knows you are able to search for a new Groot and to be the next avenger in Avenger 4. Look at these ginseng, William was very alert with all his surroundings. I didn't even get to see these while walking around.

Not so much about food? How about Vintage Fashion. Authentic Korean Vintage Fashion. It's like a fashion culture shock for me because I never seen anything like these before in my life. It's like dipdye but a dirty look kind of dipdye. Not sure am I describing it right.

Let's play some Korean Jams! You know cassetts aren't a thing now, so you got to make it as a USB playlist. We could dance around and enjoy some Korean jass. Shall we?
