Cheju City is a lovely little city on the island Chejudo. The Island’s called the Hawaii of South Korea because of its many resorts and beautiful beaches and tourist activities. We went down the Manjanggul lava tube and got a chance to see the inside of this fascinating cave. We also visited Seongeup, an old style folklore village that had interesting thatch houses and a great wall protecting it.
It was fun seeing the island in our taxi with our non-speaking English driver. He was awesome once we learned that he/we? were looking at our map upside down, so we made a major detour on our trip! The visit was a wonderful change from the large cities of China with their people, traffic and noise!

Glad you liked Korea. Gillian is going there to teach in August. We are finally getting some warm sunny weather here. I have been wrestling weeds in the garden; they seem to grow no matter what the weather.
We were on a tiny island in the south so didn't really get a chance to visit mainland Korea, but what I saw, I certainly liked! How long will she be teaching over there?
All the people we met were friendly and helpful so I hope she has the same experience!
