Jeju, South Korea Itinerary: O'sulloc Tea Museum and Innisfree Jeju House

       I initially plan to take a taxi from my accommodation, which is less than 5 minutes away, but my host insisted on sending me and my brother there. So a big thank you to her and Jeju hospitality!
Pro tip: Come on a weekday because the place will get really crowded from 10 am onwards, especially if you bang into tourist groups on weekends!

Jeju Itinerary: visit the Daepo Jusangjeolli Cliff 대포주상절리

        Is this the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland? or merely my imagination right out of the Games of Throne? No, but the Daepo Jusangjeolli Cliff 대포주상절리 at the Southern Coast of Jeju Island is still one of a kind spectacular. In fact, it is also one of Jeju’s most famous tourist spots.

Oedolgae Rock (외돌개), Jeju Island , South Korea

        The Oedolgae, is also known as the Changgun Rock, Oedolgae means General and why on earth that the Koreans name it that way? Korean Legend says that during the war times, a general disguised the rock as a gigantic general in order to ward off Mongolian attacks. And it (surprisingly) worked! The enemy troops were so frightened by what they saw; all of them committed suicide! To honour the victory, the rock was henceforth known as Oedolgae Rock.

Jeju Island, South Korea: 5 Days 4 Nights Itinerary

       For as long as I remember, Jeju island did not make it into my travel bucket list, for whatever reason I might have. But a week before entering 2019, a wild idea stroked me: I have to escape in the name of a spontaneous trip, anywhere as long as I can be on a plane (well don’t ask me since when I’ve developed this love for flying). I browsed on the AirAsia website and immediately locked my eyes on Jeju. Not only because the fare was quite reasonable but also, I simply have to end my “prejudice” towards Korea. and so, I’ve booked the ticket almost instantly, packed my bags and fervently pray for 4 days to pass by in a blink of an eye. Next, I’ll have 5 days in Jeju Island! How exciting!

4 Days in Japan Itinerary: Visiting Aichi, a Hidden Gem lying in between Tokyo and Osaka

       Japan is my obsession, I could go visit several times a year, but after a few trips I realized something: I am bored with dazzling lights in the city…. how about discovering more of Japan less traveled sites?
5 Days in Japan autumn Itinerary
       Aichi prefecture has never made the cut into my itinerary, so when I got an opportunity to visit, I seize it. What is more fun than surprises? Expect less and you’ll gain more. What's genuine about Japan is the culture, the people, the activities, and the smiles. Let's take a step back and go find the real Japan in Aichi Prefecture, a hidden treasure chest buried between Tokyo and Kyoto.

Korankei, Best Place to Enjoy Fall Foliage in Central Japan

        Kōrankei is a famous valley not too far from Nagoya (Aichi Prefecture), reputedly one of the best spots for autumn foliage in Chubu Region (and believe me, it is not an over-statement!). Shaping the valley is the 254 meters tall Mount Limori terrain, on which the "mysterious" Kojakuji Temple stands.
