Jeju ... Chillin on volcanic rock!

Jeju was amazing! There was so much to do and I wish we had more than 3 days to do more! I think Stephanie and I chose to do some awesome things in the days we had. Our first day we woke up at 7 am to get ready for our big hike up mt Hallasan. Hallasan is a shield volcano on Jeju Island of South Korea. Hallasan is the highest mountain in South Korea. The area around the mountain is a designated national park, the Hallasan National Park (Hallasan Gungnip Gongwon/한라산국립공원). Hallasan is commonly considered to be one of the three main mountains of South Korea, with Jirisan and Seoraksan being the other two. After this hike, Stephanie and I could not walk very well.
We ended at 430pm ... It was an awesome hike just difficult

Next day, got our hurt bodies out of bed And went to Loveland! This was a place of sexual statues. I have never seen anything like it. It was like an adult playground. We then get on a bus to go to the lava tube. There are many so we decided to go to one of the bigger ones, Manjanggul cave. We went and learned a lot about lave and the tubes they flowed in. It was very interesting. The coolest thing I learned was how you are able to see the different highest of the lava flow by looking at the side walls. It kind of reminded me of rings on a cup when drinking coffee. It leaves the rings around your cup from the last level it was at.

We stayed at rainbow in jeju. This hostel was very nice. Some could not speak English well. Every night after dinner Stephanie and I would get some drinks , snacks and Ice and just chill at the hostel. It was very homey. We had to ice our joints from all the hiking we did every day. It sucks getting older :-/ . WE LOVED JEJU! ........

We are now here to celebrate our last weekend in pohang :-(... Doing my last good bye... It is not going to be a easy weekend / week. I am excited to build some more memories with these amazing people before leaving. I will never forget these people that have greatly impacted my life in such great ways!

    I love the art work!!! I think i want to get a few of those pieces for my house. Not sure how I would explain what they are when Reegan and Fletcher ask, but we can cross that bridge when we get there.

    So happy you guys are making the most of your trip. You will have some great memories of this time in your life. LOVE YOU SISTER

As I sit here at a interenet Cafe in Huay Xai, I realize that I should write and update my blog because I was in the Philippines about 3 weeks ago and SO MUCH has happened. I was only in the philippines for about one week. Chrisitie and I met here in the Philippines airport. We then had to get onto another airplane to get to BOracay. Boracay is a beautiful place filled with awesome beaches, bars and peopple. BTW this keyboard and computer sucks here in this hole in the wall interenet cafe on the borader of Thailand and Loas. This will not be a long entery, just some highlights that everyione should know about.THis trip did consist of lots of relaxing on the beaches. One of the first nights we did the boracay pubcrawl! This was full of meeting lots of amazing people and having a great time with allof them. We played some fun games on the beach between the bars. We stayed at a wonderful hostel called Frendz Hostel . We met so many people here also and they all gave us great information a

Jakarta - rough on the outside a gem inside!

Image
Let me start off by saying I would have had a complete different experience if I didn't have 2 of the most fantastic hostesses! If your reading this, you know who you are ;) . I don't know if that experience would of been bad but I did get to see and learn more about Jakarta than a normal backpacker traveling through would. Jakarta has about 10 million people living in the city and about 10 million traveling in and out of the city. The city does not have a subway! If there was one word that Lauren and Monica taught me how to say in Indonesian it was traffic! Lauren and I took full advantage of the traffic we sat in to get to know one another! So of course it worked in our favor :) . Before writing on this blog , I wrote in my travel journal and took up like 5 pages of bullet points of things we did each day! Even with all the traffic I cannot believe how much I did in Jakarta ! I guess we took a lot of "short cuts." This is when we take a car or flight early in th

In Singapore for 3 dayzzz!

Leaving pohang and the people there was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I have never met such a amazing group of people like them. I feel very blessed to have been able to have shared this past year with each and every one of them! The cool thing is I know I will see everyone other places in the world in the future because of the friendship we have built in Korea together! I will never forget.. 💛💙💜💚❤ After traveling for about a full day from pohang , South Korea. I am now here in the Singapore airport. Stephanie and I are now waiting for her brother to come in on his flight. We had a lay over in Manila. This airport was nice and we had sometime to kill so we hung out in a cafe. We then found out we needed to get to a different terminal for our flight. Then we found out that no shuttle busses were running because it was 4 am! So we were told to take a taxi ... I decided to exchange some of my money to pesos cuz I would be able to use it when I am back in about 2 weeks
