We met at midday, halfway up a mountain
I was falling asleep
Not that I was counting
Standing on the corner
Head down to your heels
Maybe I was born before you
But I'm too young for this
Shaking like a leaf on a tree, that's me
So we just checked in at our hotel here at the Grand Hyatt Jeju
And the room is spectacular in my opinion
Paid a little bit extra for the ocean view and I think it's worth it
And you can even see some incoming planes landing at the Jeju airport, which is pretty cool
So after landing in Jeju, we picked up our rental car which was an EV
Decided to go with the IONIQ 5 and yeah, it's really just a pleasure to drive
I was a little bit concerned about EV and charging
But if you're staying at the Grand Hyatt, there's free parking
Of course if you're staying as a hotel guest
But there's also loads of EV charging spots that you can use
Which makes it super convenient if you decide to go with an EV
Other than that, it's been a pleasure to drive around Jeju
It's obviously a lot less chaotic than Seoul or Busan
But if you're used to driving in big cities, this should be easy for you I would say
You know, nothing compared to Seoul whatsoever
Shaking like a leaf on a tree, that's me
Alright, so we're just outside of Sebil
Which is like a cafe here in Jeju
And right outside the cafe, there's this pink muli
It's called muli or muli grass
And we're taking some photos, taking some footage
It looks really beautiful, it's really hot still though
It might not seem that way but it's pretty warm, it's pretty humid
But yeah, you gotta do what you gotta do for some content
We're here!
First time having halabong, tangerine, I believe it's tangerine
Tangerine juice
Okay, it's different, it's a lot more zingy
It's a lot less orangey, I expected it to be more like orange juice
It's a lot more lighter
Big ol' mess I made, oh yes I did
Oh, I don't need anybody but me
Let's just get...
This is obviously not sunrise
Couldn't be bothered to wake up that early to do the hike
But I kinda regret it now because it's super hot and humid up here
But other than that, it's not that difficult to get up here
I don't think it's that tough, especially if you're used to hiking or anything like that
It's really not that bad, it's just a lot of steps
So if you're a stair master, you can probably make it
And the views up here, I mean, pretty decent, pretty great
I think it's probably better during the sunrise hour
But still, it's worth coming up here and getting some nice photos
You can see the large green sort of crater
No lake though, like for example, Halsan, there's a lake on top
But I don't think it's necessary because you're a crater and then you'll have a lake
But still, there's no lake up here, it's very green
Just a green volcanic crater
It's been a great little hike
And just enjoying the view here with Lisa for a bit before we descend down
Another day, another cafe
Mmm
Yep, just your regular lobster
Not anything special, but you know, I'm all there for the show
The show was awesome, the guys showed a lot of showmanship
So 5 out of 10 for the lobster
And 10 out of 10 for the showmanship
Definitely
Mmm
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow
Do I need some therapy?
Happy, happy, happy
After a long day of driving in this humid, warm weather we got in Jeju
Nothing beats fresh juice
This tangerine
Mia, Mia, Mia, Mia
Hey, what's up everyone, this is Alan
And that's the end of my Korea vlog series, if you can call it that
I was really happy to be able to visit Jeju
And I just love these more road trip kind of trips
Just having more freedom to explore and go where you want, when you want
Is just my cup of tea
But yeah, I can't wait to share more about my Korea trip
But up next is going to be a travel guide to Korea
Just packing everything that I've learned and experienced while traveling here
In a sort of neat package for anyone who's planning to visit Korea themselves
So that's currently on the editing table as we speak
But overall, Korea was great and it will certainly not be my last trip
And finally, I just want to say thank you for sticking around to the end of this video
This is Alan, I'll see you guys in the next one
