After Climbing.

Yes, so after climbing the mountain, much later in the afternoon, we had to climb this bridge. =_=
Yes.. .. .... . ... This bridge is special because it has huge deities at the side of it and it is built across a valley. VERY HIGH. I didnt post pictures on how far down it looked because from the photos, it err, hard to tell and very boring. But yes, i ran up the bridge (FIRST ONE OK!!!) and i felt my legs trembling >_=.



The bridge from a different angle, this isnt from ground level please its not even halfway down to ground level where this was taken.


Smiling siblings about to get conned again. QQ...well, as soon as we cross the bridge, our tour guide told us that there was a waterfall down the valley, and we had to climb down steps to see it. Many steps...not too many, but many T_=...HOW COME ALL THE CLIMBING ALL IN THE SAME DAY!!??


So we made it anyways.



You can see i'm trying to smile...i feel so cheated... like Glenn would say, "@%...Cheat mah fee-ling"

Alright, anyways, from here on out, my memory is scrambled, I forgot in which order what came first. But i'm going to keep it organised.

Sometime during our trip, we visited a marshlandy place, with black rocks that only Jeju had, i dunno why, but we had this whole trail to walk. And the tour guide gave us 20 minutes...


Looks innocent...until you realise that every bend in the road leads to an even longer trail. I thought it was going to be a nice short nature walk then end up...really took very long to walk the entire trail...got bored looking at rocks, fungi, mud, plants, rocks....



So when we completed the trail, while waiting for the rest of the tour group, i spotted some of the statues I talked about in the last post, y'know the stonehenge like ones? anyways. I thought to pose with them, haha but bring some hip-hopish flair to it. Spoof it a lil' :x Even roping in my brother...

Whattup' yo?


Sometime during the trip, we stopped for a short while at an orange plantation...it's as boring as the plantation at Sentosa (I dunno if it's still there) but Jeju is famous for its mandarin oranges. So took a shot of it, aparently Korea lives on imports from outside countries, it has no natural resources except for one- ginseng, so fruits all that are hard(expensive) to come by.


Anyways, tried an orange, really sweet, nice, except it was warm and not chilled (being picky).

Well, and then we went to the
MYSTERIOUS ROAD OF JEJU!!


I was expecting some really fancy road, since it was a tourist attraction but NNOOO~ Just a road with plenty of vehicles. You see, how the road works is like this:

  1. The road is a sloped hill
  2. The thing is, if you stop your vehicle at the base of the slope, off the engine, the vehicle will move UP THE SLOPE BY ITSELF
  3. I experienced it in a tour bus full of people.
  4. No blaine, no copperfield
  5. You can moonwalk easier here.

The Mysterious Road

Anyways, the mystery to it is that the landscape along the road is actually a natural illusion. So it seems that the it is a "hill" while actually it slopes in the opposite direction...
...I'm getting no where explaining right? but yeah, just think "natural illusion", no UFO's with stonehenge figures, no nothing. Just nature. Natural illusion.

Whacha' starin' at homey?(cringe at my try-hardness :p)

We had some hotdogs deepfried on a stick. woo~ sinful.

So anyways, this were all of the highlights of Jeju, The last one, The Teddy Bear Museum will be posted tommorow so check it out! Ying Hao says its cute, cauz he been there before so, if YH says CUTE! IT BE CUTE RAWR!!! (random i know, muahahaha)

Cheers.
