Korea Time : 4:30 PM 

HeeHee~

Waiting area for the shuttle train~
Is really PACKED~
When I took this pic, we are already waiting for the 3rd train~

Seoul Incheon Airport - Arrival


I always want to stay connected to the internet and my family members~
So, the 1st thing to do is buy PREPAID CARD~


THere are many option to be connected in Korea~
Can just use the FREE WIFI provided @ selected area
or
Rent Egg [Portable Wifi Router]
or 
Prepaid Card~

I strongly suggest PREPAID CARD and use EGSIM~
No need to share, no need to worried that the Egg will have no batt or Cannot find wifi that do NOT required sign in~

Other then that, EGSIM service impressed me~


We purchased the sim card at the authorised seller, GS 25

As the staff in the store do not speak eng, they did not advised what we should do or help us register.

Luckily I have facebook msg the EG SIM before and there is free WIFI @ Incheon Airport.
I quickly msg them via FB, I though I will need to wait for like HOURS or DAY to get a reply from them

But to my Surprise, the reply was almost immediately~

Refer to the photos of our conversation~
*Apologies for lots of typo~ Was rushing to Gimpo Airport For Domestic Flight to Jeju*

Anyone who are visiting Seoul and Interested to use EG Sim Service.

Follow the steps in the conversation for the registration~

I think is easier to ask help from the EG Sim Staff and do it yourself!

Remember to get it done before you leave the airport as you need the WIFI connection to submit the
 passport photo~

Mos important~ Like their FB Page 1st~

The Sim can be use in JEJU-Do too~
Without any roaming charges~

Took pic of the Sim and sent it to them~


Follow their simple instructions~


They also help me to activate the data plan~

I have download the EG Sim App and tried to activate myself, but it keeps hang even thou i restart my phone many times~


We have selected 1GB data for 30 days, which is MORE then enough for us to be connected.
Check In, Upload pic to FB and also share pictures to Whatsapp~

Don't forget to get them to assist you to connect to the Olleh Wifi, is SUPER useful~

Just provide them the MAC IF of your phone~


The OLLEH Wifi is in the train and Selected Public Areas~
Just need to connect and is sign in AUTOMATICALLY~

At the end of the trip, I used less then 500mb of Data~

Oppa Lee used the credit balance to called back to MaMa Lee~
Is abt 2000won for nearly 2 mins
Can't really remember the exact amt, I remember Oppa Lee commented, " Very cheap leh"
Of course, we compare this amt using Internation Roaming Charges~
Not normal calling charges~

Highly recommend EG Sim Service~ Especially if your are going for long period~


Oppa Lee Buying EG Sim and T-Money[ E.g SGP - EZ Link / HKG - Octopus Card ]~
EG Sim @ 30000 Won


Oppa Lee @ Top Up $$ to T-Money
The card has no value~

Took the Airport Express to Gimpo Domestic Airport for Our Flight to JeJu-Do

There are 2 type of Airport Express
1 is Express - Non Stop to Seoul Station

Please do not take the NON STOP 1 if you wish to go to GIMPO~

Waiting Area~







Inside the Train~

The journey is about 30 mins~

Korea Time : 5:30 PM

Gimpo Domestic Airport~

Did not have much chance to take much photo as we are rushing with our heavy luggage~
Is really very tired~

The flight from Seoul to Jeju is abt 1 hr~

Flight: Jeju Air

After check in our luggage, we tried the fast food chain Lotteria~

We shared this set meal~
The sauce for the burger is different from Singapore~
It more to Korea sauce~

Orange Juice is served on Jeju Air~
Their ambassador is Lee Min Ho~
HeeHee~

Well, I did not choose Jeju Air because of Lee Min Ho, just nice after I purchased the tickets, he become the ambassador~ Wahaa



Jeju Airport with Attractions Brochures~

Arrival Hall of JeJu-Do~

We rented car for our 4 Days @ Jeju-Do~

Jeju-Do have public transport like Bus and Taxi~

Selected car rental as we do not need to rush and can take our own sweet time as this is our Honeymoon~

Take bus will need to spend time waiting and if you book a cab, its not that cheap also~

But for those for prefer to be fetch around, hassle free and don't like to drive~

PLEASE opt for taxi instead~

Will explained WHY later~

Rent a Avante from KT Kumho

The rental is abt SGP $170 for 4D3N include full insurance and 2 drivers~
The petrol is abt SGP $60

Once to alight look for the KT Service counter~
THey will check your booking information and proceed to Gate 5 ~

There will be a shutter bus bring you to their office to collect the car~


[No pic on the car rental process]

Once you reached the office, staff will process the application and you made payment on the spot~
Please note that they only accept CREDIT CARD~

Luckily I brought my Card along as Oppa Lee did not activate his CARD for oversea usage~

After payment, we are lead to our car to do the basic checking~
The staff that inspect the car with us not able to communicate in english~
All communication is all by body language ~

Can't ask much question as he did not understand us.

We just drove off after the inspection~

This 1st drive really scared me ~

I turn into the wrong lane once I am out of the office~
:(
Never turn on my car headlight~

Luckily I still manage to find the hotel with the help of GPS and arrived safely~~

I think i really old~

After all the rushing, flight and scary drive~

All I want is just to rest and fill my empty stomach with food~

Our Hotel Room~
It is the suit room~ Abt SGP $100 per night~
4 Season~
It is not the high class chain 4 Season

Their room is clean, toilet is white, floor is warm~

Bad point, the aircon is totally shut down~
If you need ventilation, he only option is open the window~
I don't feel safe leaving the window open when I am sleeping 
But we are left with no choice, as we do not wan suffocate to death~
Wahha~


Is abt 10 PM when we settle down~
Many eatery has closed~

We walk around the neighborhood of the Hotel and found this BBQ most attractive~
Wahaha~

Of course, BBQ in Korea is famous~ so ITS A MUST to TRY~


The staff of the BBQ restaurant could not speak english also, so we used the international language~

Body Language!

 and with the help of Picture Menu~
We manage to order food for our self~

Ban Chan~

Vegetable for Wrapping the BBQ Meat~


Seriously do not know what side dish is this~
But the texture seem to be luncheon meat ~
HeeHee


Me inside the road side BBQ Restaurant ~

We orded pork and chicken~

The Fatty Pork Belly ~

Spicy Chicken~


The staff help us cook and cut the meat ~

The white item @ the edge of the hot plate is
TOKPOKKI~
Korea Rice Cake~

I though it would not be nice as I never tried cooking TokPPOKI this way~

But surprisingly, its super nice~

It is crispy outside and chewy inside~

I tried eating this way when I am back in Singapore~
HeeHee~
Anyone who like to eat this way, please cook it with charcoal~
It does not taste that nice with electric grill type of BBQ~
HeeHee~

Golden Pork Belly~


This vegetable / Leaf is nice~
I don't see any Singapore BBQ that I visit serve this Veg / Leaf
The after taste is menthol and it make the mouth feel very fresh~
I believe it also help to remove the garlic smell that I Ate~

Overcook Spicy chicken~ 
This BBQ meal cost us about SGP $70~
I can finally understand why korea artist always very excited about BBQ
cos is REALLY EX ~

Us after meal~

We head back to hotel after that as IT IS REALLY COLD ~
The temperature is about 0 Degree~
