KMK: Jeju | Manjanggul Tunnel

Manjggul

Disappointed. That’s how I felt after experiencing Manjanggul which is one of the great lava tunnels of Jeju. Maybe I was expecting too much.

Kimnyoung maze

Billed as a 5,000 year old art form and a stroll through Jeju history the Kimnyoung Maze Park proved to be a big hit with both Ian and myself. At first I was a bit hesitant to go. Despite it being the backdrop of the KTF LG mobile hand phone commercial ...

Yeouido Redux

I previously blogged about Yeouido Park though I have to confess that what I wrote about before doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of this amazingly fun and relaxing green oasis in Seul's concrete jungle. I recently went back to Yeouido so I could rent a bike and ...

Seoul Forest

With the autumn season already upon us and barreling full steam toward winter, I thought it would be a good time to take in the array of colors on display. Thanks to Roboseyo I learned of the perfect spot for my fall field ...

Seoul Grand Park Zoo

A couple weekends ago I went with to Seoul Grand Park. Grand Park encompasses the Zoo, a lake, a Rose Garden, the museum of contemporary art and the Seoul Land amusement park. The day started off a little dreary, but sure enough the ...

Achasan Mountain

Last sunday my work mates and I made a company sponsored trip to Aschasan. Though it must be said that I was under the impression that Aschasan was more of a hill or even a slight incline than a full fledged moutain. Trust me, this bad boy was no ...
