Jeju Has It All (and we tried to DO it all!) 🍊🌸

Jeju Has It All (and we tried to DO it all!) 🍊🌸

Although we’ve been to Korea
twice before, we’ve somehow never managed to make it to Jeju until now. This island is Korea’s largest, and many
call it the Hawaii of Korea. But is it? We came here for that answer, but also to search for famous citrus fruits,
stunning cherry blossoms, cherry blossom, cherry blossom, cherry blossom, cherry blossom,
and beautiful nature. What snuck up on us was Jeju’s
delightfully silly side. We’re not sure we’ve had so much
fun anywhere else. Yes! Join us as we circle the
entire island of Jeju in six days, doing as many
things as we can. Oh God! Whoh! And it’s a lot. Buckle up. This is a fun road trip adventure. That is really fun. That was the best meal I think
I’ve had on Jeju so far. Jeju. There’s always more Tales From Our Pocket. Oh my gosh! When we made these plans months ago, we crossed our fingers and hoped
we’d be here for the tail end of cherry blossom season. But I gotta tell you, we nailed it. They’ve bloomed late this year and this, I don’t know how it’s going to
get better than this in Korea You should probably just
stop watching now. I’m just kidding. We’re going to do some amazing things. But this is a spectacular start. We are going to be circling the island,
looking for more flowers in bloom. But holy crap. I just don’t think it can get better
than where we’re starting from. This is just one of the
prettiest displays of flowers I’ve ever, ever seen anywhere. It’s absolutely spectacular. It’s so pretty that Bill couldn’t even stick around to finish the
intro and is already filming it. There’s so much to film. Oh my gosh. [laughter] I’m so excited that they’re blooming. This is so amazing. We’re going to walk to another section of Jeju City that also looks
like it has some flowers blooming. But first, we’ve got to take a closer
look at these cherry blossoms. We are just outside of the
Jeju City Sports Complex, overlooking
a dry riverbed. And I just can’t even handle
how beautiful this is. [Jeju Sports Complex] A Cherry blossom has got to cherry blossom. It will find its way. It’s growing on the tree. They don’t really smell. This still is ridiculous. Now we’re on the other side of the
trees that we started at. And it just looks like a gentle pink flowery
snow caught up in the trees. We are so lucky to be here
during this time. I can’t even believe it. Through here, the cherry blossoms
are so thick. You can’t see through the other side. Can I just stay here all day? Is that okay? They have stairs that you can walk down
and be among the blossoms. It was a cherry blossom road that we
were headed to, but this was on the way. I can’t imagine how it would
be better than this. This is… [unintelligible} I don’t even have the words. I just have…pfft. [Laughter] When we were walking around earlier,
we saw a bunch of tents. It looks like some kind of festival, so we’re
going to go see what that’s about. Tents usually mean good things. We’ve made it to the tents that we saw. And it does indeed look like it’s some kind of festival, maybe related
to the cherry blossoms. And this will be our first
festival in Korea. We’re hoping for some food because it’s around lunchtime and as usual,
someone is hungry. I’m always hungry. It always seems like I never
get enough to eat. We walk a lot on these trips. Let’s get some food.
Let’s go! I think choosing something is going
to be our biggest problem. We have chosen our first thing that we’re going to try eating, mainly
because we saw actual fire involved. And that usually also means
something delicious. So Bill’s standing in line for… It looks like maybe chicken. It smells delicious. Alright, so we can’t resist when there’s
an open flame cooking meat. So I think what we’ve got here
is some grilled chicken. It looks really good. It’s perfectly cooked. We put a little teriyaki sauce on it. Heather’s scared of the spicy sauce,
so we didn’t do that. It is delicious. You will love this. No! Alright, this one looks like it has a long
line, so we’re going to get in it. Let’s see what we end up with. We think that this pork might be like a sample, which is probably why
it has the longest line that we’ve seen so far. Free food. So we have our free pork samples. I’m just getting organized to eat and enjoy my pork. That’s pretty tasty. That’s really good. We’ve heard that the pork
on Jeju is special. Black pork I think it’s called. We’re definitely going to be trying that while we’re here, but we don’t
think this is black pork yet. So stay tuned later on for that. This is sort of a teaser,
I guess, of what we’re going to experience
later in the day. Can’t believe that we just had a free
little sampler of pork. I think that’s maybe how you know that you’re at a festival is there’s
free samples that are being given out. That seems to be a worldwide
universal, I feel like. We decided we better have something
that’s not meat. So we found this amazing
looking strawberry stand that has a sauce on
it that’s chocolate and maybe some crushed crispy
coconuts and something that looks like
peanut butter that is not peanut butter. So let’s find out what that is. Sorry, dog, you can’t have this. There are so many cute dogs here! What is that? That is not peanut butter. It is… I’m pretty sure that’s a pistachio sauce. Pistachio and chocolate and
something crispy on top that might be a crispy
fried coconut. We love strawberries and
this is delicious. I would buy this pistachio sauce at home
for sure if we found this in the store. It’s so good. I always joke that Bill might not get
any of this and I usually share. I talked her into letting me have some. Just kidding! It’s just really good. A bunch of the shop owners just came
over and gave us something to try. So I’m going to try it. Here, hold the camera, Bill. I don’t know what these are. It looks like mochi with strawberries in the middle and some bean paste
and some grapes with some bean paste and some mochi. I’m going to take the strawberry one. Oh, that’s so different. What did you win? I think it’s mochi on the outside and then
it has a cool bean paste in the center. And then inside of that was a bit of
strawberry that also was chilled. It was so good. Like that would be perfect
on a really warm day. I kind of wish it was a little bit
warmer because I am not. It was really good though. I’m going to save the grape one for
Bill so he can have one too. I can’t believe she came over
and she gave that to us. How nice is that? There’s so many cute dogs going by and they’re all wearing clothes
and I can’t handle it. Why are they all wearing clothes? I don’t know. – Because they’re cold just like you are. Oh, okay. That makes sense. And then I shared with Bill because
I’m nice too sometimes. Oh, it’s mochi on the outside. Yeah, you’re going to love this. You’re going to like it. I love pretty much anything with mochi
on it and this is no exception. Bill has basically licked the strawberry
container clean. Look at this. I’m sure I don’t know what
you’re talking about. I see why this is called Cherry
Blossom Road. We are at Jeju City’s most famous Cherry Blossom Road and we can easily
see why. The graceful arches of Cherry Blossom sort
of go over the street. Tons of people are here. The vibe is completely different
than where we started the day over by
the sports complex. This is more like a party atmosphere with the music in the background
and tons and tons and tons of people. It’s a beautiful road and it’s closed to cars right now, which is a
good thing because there are so many people here. They’re really pretty, but the
tulips are not real. The cherry Blossom’s are though. This is so cool. We are so very lucky to be
here while these are blooming and everybody’s
out and to be here experiencing the festival. We couldn’t have planned this better
if we had actually tried. It’s unbelievable. So cool. Heather was telling me there’s about four perfect days a year for the
cherry blossoms, at least here in Jeju. Maybe elsewhere also? They get blown down so fast. They’re done blooming so quickly. The peak period is so short. So lucky we are. So, so lucky. The street actually continues but is
not closed off to pedestrians. Tons more cherry blossoms. Well remember earlier when I said it was awfully hard to pull ourselves
away from that first cherry blossom area? It doesn’t get any easier to leave them
when you find them again. That was so pretty. It’s almost fun, but we want to check out a
historical section of Jeju City because we leave this area of Jeju
Island tomorrow. It’s important for us to go see the
historical area before we leave. One of the things I love about Korea is that you never know what you’re
gonna find and if you’re a foreigner you never really
know why it’s there. I don’t know. It is pretty cute but I don’t
know why he’s here. Well that was really cool. I’ve forgotten how much I like the colors
that are in Korean architecture. That was really neat. You know what we need now? More food probably. Which is actually what we had
planned for today. It is actually. We did not realize that we were gonna run into a bunch of street food
at that festival earlier and we had planned on visiting a traditional market that’s not
that far from here. So since Bill is constantly hungry we’re gonna go anyhow and see if
we can manage to fill him with some more food. – Yes. Let’s go see what we can find. Well we’ve again found the longest line and gotten in it without really
knowing what’s going on. It seems fun and there’s more fire. It’d kind of hard to do with one hand! The suspense is building. This is what we waited in line for. Oh it’s so cute! How am I gonna eat the legs? I don’t know. We asked what was most popular
and they said that crab fried rice so that’s
what we went with. And it looks like a crab head
with fried rice in it. Hopefully there’s some crab in it. There was fire involved. We’re suckers. Oh. That is really good fried rice. Oh wow! It’s super peppery. I was not expecting that. Like really peppery. It is so good. I’m not sure how we’re gonna eat the legs whether we can do that on the go here but But I’m definitely eating all
this fried rice. It even has a light subtle crab flavor. So the general flavor is
like peppery, crab. Super super super peppery and light crab. It’s really good. I’m
glad we got this. I couldn’t figure out how to do
this with chopsticks. I’m sorry. Is it possible? Tell me all the ways I’m doing it wrong. We might need to wipe down
our cameras tomorrow. We destroyed that crab. That was really good and might be the
freshest crab we have ever had. It was delicious. This is the Dongmun Market. This is a market that has a lot of fish and has tons of food stalls
and I think there is also some clothes and stuff for sale but we haven’t even found
that part yet. This market is so much bigger than
either of us expected. There’s more market down there. There’s market down here. There’s market down there
where we came from. Market everywhere. It is so much fun. The best part is the fish
market is only just a few steps away and everything
there is very fresh, sometimes very alive even. And you
can have it served up here. It’s very fresh. So many orange stalls. We are going to wait to have some oranges
until we find some somewhere else in Jeju other than the market. We’re hoping to come across a stand when we’re out driving tomorrow
or the next day. So we’re going to wait until then
but we did get snacks. – Yes. It seems like we have emerged
out the other side. We only had the crab fried rice so I think
we’re going to go find something to eat. Tomorrow we’re getting our
car out of this very strange mechanical elevator
leaving Jeju City and heading out to see the
rest of Jeju Island. My driver is pretty excited. Why am I always the driver? You know how to drive. We’ll pick you up tomorrow. More adventures, lots to come. Hopefully we found our car. It’s doing things. Hopefully it’s bringing us a car. I admit it’s taking longer
than I expected. Here it comes. Oh it’s facing the other way. Ta-da! Yay! So cool. Some random road. Oh my god it’s just crazy. It’s so pretty. Welcome back to day two of our
road trip around Jeju. We realized yesterday that we are so lucky
to be here during cherry blossom season. We’re driving down a tunnel of cherry
blossoms. It’s no big deal. And so lucky in fact that we have
revised our itinerary. We had planned on driving along the north coast to our first destination
but instead we’re heading inland to check out some more
cherry blossoms that we’ve read about. We’re heading on to two special
museums and then ending the day at probably
one of the things I’ve looked most forward
to on this trip. We’re going to tell you all about it as
we take you along with us today. I think today is going to
be a pretty great day and he’s being quiet because
he’s driving and he’s focusing. There’s more tents. Well our first stop is actually
an extension of the cherry blossom festival
that we were at yesterday. So we’ve gone inland a bit and we’ve actually
gone up a little bit in altitude. And so the cherry blossoms here actually look
like they’re just starting to bloom. They’re just not quite fully open yet. They’re still very pretty. And there’s tons of them.
It’s great. We’re on the early side for
this particular location which is a bit of
a bummer but it’s still really pretty. I know we’re here for the cherry blossoms but there’s something else
blooming up there, prolifically blooming. There are hundreds of blooms
on whatever this is up here. Oh we can get closer to them. Maybe we can figure out what they are. I don’t know what these are
but they’re beautiful. Wow are they pretty. They’re even better up close. They’re not roses. I have
no idea what these are. Gosh they’re gorgeous. Wow. Hmmm, they don’t really smell like
much but they’re so pretty. Wow. They’re sort of stealing the show for me honestly at the cherry blossom
festival because the cherry blossoms aren’t totally out yet. But these are and wow. I’m sorry cherry blossoms. At least up here, these totally steal the show for me. Bill’s still enamored with the cherry blossoms while I’m up here
enamored with these. They’re not fuchsia. That’s not it. Heather’s the gardener. I’m not. We actually talked a little
bit in our last video about how my dad passed
away recently and we’re on this healing
journey on these couple of trips. He was
a huge gardener. Lots of native flowers planted in his backyard and he would have loved
coming across all of these out in the wild
as it were on Jeju. It’s pretty cool. Alright since the cherry blossoms in this area are not quite blooming
yet, instead we’re heading to a very unusual museum that is going to probably remind us
of home and we’re pretty excited about. It’s more of a theme park than
a museum we think. I thought it was a museum. I guess we’ll find out. After further discussion we believe
it might be a garden. Who planned this day? Uncharacteristically I’ve planned most
of this section of the trip. So on all of Jeju, if this is a bad route or we go to the wrong things
it’s all my fault. If it’s an utter dumpster fire… This is the difference between
me planning and Bill. No I’m sure it’s going to be great. This is going to be great. Now we know it is indeed a garden. We are at the Snoopy Garden. Why is there a Snoopy Garden on
Jeju Island in Korea? We know why we like Snoopy. It’s very popular in Korea as well. So we had to come check out
the Snoopy Museum. I mean the Snoopy Garden. The Snoopy Garden. We had a super quick lunch on the way in. We probably paid a bit too much for
it but was fun and Snoopy themed. We had some good conversation over lunch. And we already know that Snoopy
likes pancakes. He’s a bigger dog than I
expected him to be. I want a second opinion. What’s the problem? [Laughter] This is not advisable when
trying to film. [Laughter] – What’s wrong? I didn’t even try to film
while doing this. This is the Beagle Scout Camp area,
which is quite adventurous. And now that we’ve gotten to the garden section, it’s quite lovely, even
on this chilly day. The little doghouse cabins have a Charlie
Brown sweater on them. I do love a good theme. It’s A Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. It has made it here, complete
with foggers. It’s very atmospheric. Look at these guys. Do I look crabby enough? [I can’t stand it.] You did a fine job. You’re a natural. Thanks. We mentioned that we have a special
connection to the Peanuts gang, and that connection is that Charles M. Schultz
is actually from where we’re from. He grew up about 10 minutes from where we live now and 10 minutes from
where we grew up. And the Peanuts gang is sort of
meaningful, I guess you could say, to the people of Minnesota
and the Twin Cities. So to come all the way to Jeju
and find an entire garden and indoor museum-type thing dedicated
to him and his works. It’s a lot of fun. It’s kind of nuts. It seems a long way from home, but the
Koreans absolutely love the work. So do we. Where are we? Oh gosh, we
wandered out of the park. Oh no, the kite-eating tree! Oh, we’ve stumbled upon an outdoor
version of the kite-eating tree. And more cherry blossoms. The garden is really nice. I love all the little Snoopy statues and
everything. It’s pretty cool. Yeah! All the way! Home run!
Keep going! Keep going! Yeah! You’re safe! Yes! – Yes! In classic Tales From Our Pocket fashion,
we are running late today. We’re headed to the east
coast of Jeju now. And what’s at the east coast
that we’re gonna go do? This is the part of the trip to Jeju Island
that I had input into, and so I’m super excited about the other things that
we’re still doing today. Despite the fact that we’re running a little bit late because the
Snoopy is so cute! It took so much longer here than we
expected. The gardens were huge. The gardens were huge. There was all kinds
of themed gardens and Snoopys just popping up everywhere, which
is tons of fun. How long were we here? Probably three hours.
Oh gosh, we were here a long time. Including lunch. And now
there’s four tour buses here. We’re leaving
at the right time. – Yes. We’re at our next stop, which is
the Jeju Haenyeo Museum. You could say that there is
a book that’s maybe more than 50% of the reason why
we are visiting Jeju. It’s called The Island of Sea Women, and
I’m gonna link it down below. And we are here at this museum to learn more
about this matriarchal society where the women supply the money for
their family through freediving for seafood without
any equipment whatsoever. They are strong, they are tough,
they’re pretty badass, and we’re here to learn
more about them. We know museums are not the sexiest
thing to be filming on YouTube, but to be here in a museum that talks so much
about a culture that I’ve read about, to be able to connect to it here in person,
exactly where the book took place, and see the things that the women wore and
the things that they touched. Being able to bridge the gap between
things that you read about in real life is one of the
reasons that we travel. And that makes this museum particularly
memorable for me personally. The Haenyeo Museum is divided into three sections.
In one section, we learned what it was like for the women to
dive, we saw the equipment they used, and saw
some of their clothing. In another section, we learned
what their home life was like, and saw examples from their
homes in the 1960s and 70s. Perhaps the most impactful part of the visit
was the third section, where we heard directly from the divers what
it was like to be Haenyeo. We stayed for a long time listening
to their incredible stories. Well, I obviously thought that was super cool,
fantastic. I can’t come up with the right word. I loved learning
more about their lives. Bill has not read the book that I read,
so what did you think about it? It was a ton of fun learning about this
completely different culture that’s not only different within Korea,
but different really in the rest of the world that the matriarchal
society and all that. These are hard, hard women
that lead a hard life. It’s hard work. It’s
really impressive. They’re badass. I still think they’re
badass. That was fascinating. I love that the culture still exists today,
although there aren’t as many girls taking it up, so it might not
be here much longer. So if you come to Jeju, make sure that you
learn more about the Haenyeo, so you can appreciate them while they’re still here. And we get to check off one more UNESCO
World Heritage thing. I guess it’s not really a site, but it’s a
thing. It’s a thing. We’re counting it. It’s an intangible cultural asset
or some such thing. Yes, that was good. Good memory.
That was it. All right, we have worked up an appetite,
and so I think we’re going to find something special for dinner, and we
might just take you along with us. Something we really enjoyed when we were
in Korea last time was having a bit of barbecue, and we are really excited
to be having this again. And we hear that the pork in
Jeju is a little bit extra special, so I guess we’re
about to find out. [sizzling sounds] We’re going to give a piece of try. We’re not going to leave ourselves
in suspense here. I’m going to do just a little bit of salt and pepper or whatever this
is. I don’t know. It looks like salt. That’s really good. A little of
that salt goes a long way. That’s honestly better than I remember.
It’s delicious. Melt in your mouth. Juicy. Delicious. It tastes like sesame and spice.
Definitely some spice. I put a little bit of everything in my little
bundle, my little bundle of pork joy. Maybe a little bit of sauce. We
don’t really know what we’re doing. We try to watch other
people and do what they do. And it looked like they bundled
up their lettuce things like a gift. And they ate
it in more than one bite. Maybe that’s wrong, but
that’s what I saw. So I’m not going to feel pressured
to eat this in one bite because I’m afraid
to do that on camera. Two bites. All right, I got this. Damn, that’s delicious. All
the sides in my little lettuce bundle. Something is spicy.
It’s okay. I’ve got this. I’m trying to do better with spice. So about the bonchon or the side dishes.
I don’t normally like much more than kimchi, and it is exceptionally good. But everything I’ve tried so far
is exceptionally good. I normally don’t like that.
I love the side dishes. And something is spicy. Something
that’s really spicy, which I love. And Heather is warming up because
of the spice. I sure am. She’s not warming up to it. Everything here is really good.
It’s delicious. It’s really good. What day is it? This is our third day. You were correct. Welcome back, friends. It
is day three and we have made our way to the
Jeju Folk Village. If you’ve been watching our videos
for a while, you know that we cannot resist the
lure of a folk village. We love how things are preserved and learning
more about the history of the places that we go to. And finding one here
on Jeju is unexpected. It’s just a great way to experience
the culture in a very condensed way and in just a couple
hours to get a nice taste of it. So that is our plan for this morning. We have
some food things in store today. We have another lovely area that we’re
going to be going to. It’s a little bit chilly, but
it’s sunny. It helps take the edge off the chill because
it really is chilly. If you think that we’re tired of wearing our
puffer jackets, you’re right. You’re probably tired of looking at them.
Sorry. That’s all we’ve got. All right. Let’s go explore
this folk village. There was a sign on the way in that described this as the “Most Jeju
place in all of Jeju.” It kind of sets high expectations,
don’t you think? There’s a little piggy here.
I’m feeling the tiniest bit guilty about my
dinner last night. Hi, piggy. Hi. He’s so cute. I’m
sorry we ate your cousin. The folk village has a prescribed route
that you take. And our first stop is a mountain village. And there
were and maybe still are hundreds of these villages as
you approach Mount Halla. Which I don’t think we have
time to climb this time, but Bill is certainly tempted. Bill’s now going to tell you about his favorite things about the mountain village. Well, there’s two things really. The thatching on the roofs is really unique. I’ve seen thatching on many roofs
in many parts of the world, even in Korea and some of the other folk
villages we’ve been to. But I guess I don’t fully understand
it yet. Why are there these ropes across? Is
it super windy here? It is super windy here. Well,
is that what the rope is there for? To prevent the thatch
from lifting off? It’s almost like you’re an engineer. Guilty as charged. Anyway, I find that really interesting. And we also learned how they
gather water because water is really scarce in Jeju because of the porous
rock and soil from volcanoes. It’s hard to collect the water. Pretty
cool. Also, I just want to note that everything so far is really well signed in
English, which we definitely appreciate. Yeah. My map says that this is supposed
to be a buckwheat field. I don’t think it’s buckwheat, but it’s these
beautiful yellow flowers. I think our canola, no buckwheat to be found. I guess we
better head back to the beginning where we came in where there’s a buckwheat center
that happens to have a restaurant. And as usual, we’re hungry. It’s a theme.
It’s just a whole thing. Not that we’re complaining about the beautiful
yellow flowers because they’re gorgeous. I’d rather look at
them than buckwheat anyhow. It’s the Buckwheat Cultural Center. Do I mix it up? Do I cut the
noodles first? I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
here. It looks so good. We ordered a buckwheat noodle dish and also
some buckwheat mandu, which are some kind of dumpling. And we’re both going to
sort of dig in here. They look amazing. I’m not really sure how to eat mine though.
I’m not sure whether I should mix it up first. Like most things in Korea, I feel
like you’re supposed to mix it. And there’s scissors. So I’m just going to go
for it. I’m sure you’ll tell me if I’m wrong. I’m sure I’m wrong. This is
not going to go well for me. Oh God, these are the flat kind
of chopsticks I can’t hold. Why can’t I hold these? I have
good chopstick skills. They’re really good. They’re sort of like
a thin soba noodle, but also completely different than a soba noodle.
They’re really good. So these are massive. I’m sure I’m not going
to get one in a single bite. So here I’m going to try the mandu. Looks like a
handmade dumpling. I’ve been given some kind of sauce here, which I assume
is something like soy. I’m probably wrong. Correct me in the comments.
Alright, here we go. Mandu. Mmm. There’s meat and vegetable fillings, some
onion in there probably. It’s really tasty. These are going to be really
filling dumplings too. That was a pretty tasty lunch. It was like
lunch number one because we are planning to eat again in a few hours. So
we ate a little bit light. We did learn a bit about buckwheat while
we were there and we possibly even had some buckwheat tea. We learned that over 70%
of all of Korea’s buckwheat production comes right here from Jeju. So it’s a pretty
important crop for the island. When we came here earlier, we followed the
prescribed route and we entered and we turned right. Since we just ate our early
lunch, we are going to come back in and this time we’re going to go left. Just in case you’re confused and try
to follow along. Another really important agricultural product
on the island of Jeju is their oranges and their mandarins.
We keep seeing these products everywhere. We’ve sampled
them a few times. The juice is really good. If you
come here, try the juice. We are planning to learn more about it in
a day or two, but in the meantime, Jeju Folk Village does have sort of a
mini grove of something. – Orange trees.
Those aren’t mandarins, are they? Because they’re huge. See, they’re
the size of my fist. I don’t know if I can tell
the difference. I thought they were smaller. I guess we’ve really got to find
somewhere to learn more about the mandarins on Jeju. We don’t even
know whether these are mandarins. Follow us for more tips. I’ve spotted something curious. And
it’s not Bill, it’s over there. Let’s go see what those are.
Come on, Bill. Hurry up. I’m finishing. That’s not helpful. Not helpful. This is the face of a very helpful wife. Still not helpful. Not helpful. There’s a field of something over here,
and I don’t know what it is. What are these? Is it a grass? Are these real? Are
they fake? I think they’re fake. Oh, what a disappointment. There’s
a whole field of fake light up stuff. They’re light-up
flowers, but they’re really pretty from afar. Again,
follow us for the tips. Look, aren’t the fake flowers
pretty, you guys? They’ve got some kind of light show, and I bet that these are super cool lit up at
night. We’re not coming back for that. So we’ll just enjoy them during the day. I love how the thatched roofs smell. They have a smell? Oh, yeah. Thy’ve got a
straw, earthy kind of smell. The village behind me here
is where apparently a bunch of K-dramas are filmed, or Korean dramas, if you’re not from
Korea. It’s kind of amazing. The buildings are all
just really neat and old. It’s perfect, I guess, for film. We admittedly have not watched a lot of K-dramas. We have watched a few episodes of Mr. Sunshine, which is available
on one of our streaming services, and
we really liked it. If you have one that you really love, that
you recommend, especially if you know it was filmed here, can you drop it into the comments so that we can add
it to our watch list? Because we love watching shows that take place
in other places, just like we like reading about places that
we can travel to. That would be a lot of fun. Thank you. I feel like it’s so Korean to pose with a
prop in a beautiful place like this. But I might need to take some
lessons at posing. I can’t lie, this field is gorgeous. Seeing
it up close and being among the flowers is so cool. There’s a field like this not far
from our hotel. We just haven’t had a chance to stop at it yet. Now I’m not
sure we need to. This is so pretty. If we don’t film the lanterns, are
we even YouTubers? I’m not sure it gets better than being
able to write a wish and hang it with everybody else’s. So I think we’re done here.
It’s time to move on to the next thing. We are on to our next activity today, which
is a short walk. We are actually taking part of the Olle Trail System, which
is a huge series of trails here on Jeju that are set up to be about
the journey, not the destination. They sort of meander and encourage you to rest. Honestly, walking
keeps us warm. We also learned that the Olle system is
modeled after the Camino de Santiago in Spain as a way to promote, I guess, people
being active and walking around and seeing what the area is about
at a slower pace. This section looks really nice.
It’s along the coastline. We really get to see the rugged terrain leading
out to the water. People call Jeju the Hawaii of Korea, and I hadn’t really felt
that until we got to see some of this scenery. The weather certainly
doesn’t reflect it. At least not in the spring
when we’re here. I really feel like we have talked
about how chilly it is. And it is. We’re from Minnesota.
We are not wimps. But it’s like 42 degrees Fahrenheit out.
That’s this in Celsius. And it’s windy. And it’s dry. So it’s sort of this perfect
storm of chilliness that gets you to your core. And we don’t quite have the
right clothes with for that. We’re planning on a bit warmer weather,
looking at the weather forecast and history (before we had left) it was
very warm here a week ago. And it’s very warm next week.
Right after we leave. But it’s a cold spell while we’re here. So
that’s why we keep mentioning it. It’s the middle of March. So you kind of have
to expect the weather to be changeable like this. It’s just our tiny bit of bad luck
that it’s cool. But it’s not raining and it’s not snowing. So it’s
still good weather. And we still had extremely good luck with
the cherry blossoms, which is really why we’re here at this time of year. It really
is just our fault for not having the right clothing with us. That’s a long way
of saying that it’s our fault. We are pretty sure that that is one of the
Haenyeo changing spaces. It’s not allowed to go down in this area. This
is used locally for fishing. And we see the little net things, the bobbers that mark where somebody’s
diving underneath them. So I’m pretty sure that’s one of the
changing places. That’s so cool. Every older Korean lady that goes by, Heather
wonders, is she Haenyeo? Maybe she’s Haenyeo. Maybe she’s taking her
catch back to the restaurants around here. The truth hurts. So true. It looks like there’s a little mini
lighthouse here that we can go up. And I know somebody who loves lighthouses. Bill is so excited right now. Boy, these are a lot more craggy when you
get close to them. It really does look like the lava fields in
Hawaii, especially on the Big Island. Just like
that. Just wow. We’ve been constantly looking for the
Haenyeo baskets indicating that they’re diving. We’re always looking offshore.
Is that a diver? Is that a diver? It’s a rock. It’s
a fisherman. It’s a bird. I don’t know they can be like
just out of sight on the other side of the craggy lava stuff. Or it could be a little spot that
I see off in the distance. It would be so cool to see them doing their
thing. I don’t want to bother them, but it would be super cool to see
them. We’re still looking. Oh my God. Are you okay? Are you okay? I’m fine. Thanks. Sometimes the world is just not made for six foot tall men. 185 centimeters,
that’s me. Come on, Bill. Pull yourself away
from the lighthouse. Really? Well, we’re not just doing this section of
walk for no reason. We’re hoping that a Haenyeo restaurant is still open
where they serve the things that have been gathered
by the Haenyeo. And yesterday we went to the museum and
this could be the perfect follow up to that. So fingers crossed
they’re still open. I think this is great. Are you my lunch? They’re still open. We decided to try this sea urchin bibimbap
because we’ve never had sea urchin before and we have not had
bibimbap yet in Korea. And we’re splitting it because this
is lunch number two for us. So this is a case of we’re not entirely
sure what we ordered. [Laughter] We think this is a seaweed soup. I’m not sure what else is in
it. It smells very fresh. Mmm. It’s got a nice saltiness
to it. I’m not sure it’s ever been dried out, which I assume
is how it’s normally done. And then there’s little
bits of meat here. Maybe that’s a sea urchin. That might be the sea urchin.
It’s really actually really tasty. You’ll like it.
It’s really good. Well, we definitely didn’t
get what we expected. [Laughter] And we certainly got something
that was unusual. You know, it’s commonly thought that
the Haenyeo only get seafood. But actually they get a lot of
greens and seaweeds as well. They harvest it. The younger
divers start out with that. And I think even the older ones
help gather the seaweed as well. So it’s kind of fun that that’s
what we ended up with. And I think we had bits of sea
urchin in there as well. They were bits of something.
We’re not entirely sure what. I mean, if we got what we ordered, we’re not
positive. That was a fun experience. We recommended it if you’re in this area
looking for a Haenyeo experience. And they were so kind. They
give some, what I think is probably frozen orange
juice from Jeju. I’m excited to have that as a snack
on the way back or later on. What a fun treat. Okay, so we think we figured
it out. Based on what Bill paid and where I
put it on the menu, the item above what I pointed to was
sea urchin seaweed soup. So I think that’s what we
had. It was warm so we’re not complaining, but
it’s pretty funny. I’m glad we got to try the seaweed. We still need to try some bibimbap. And manage to eat without hair
being in my face. It looks like there’s a pier near here
that we can go out on. So I think we’ll peer out to it
and see what we can find. That joke only works if
you speak English. Yep. [Laughter] Look at the color of this water.
Oh my gosh. It’s so aqua. Did you see the color of the water, Bill? It’s starting to look a little
more like Hawaii now. Turquoise blue, iridescent,
it’s beautiful. This is a lovely stop. This
is really nice. I can see why people would
walk along here. I think we’re actually going to turn around
about now. Sound about right? Yeah, sure. So that means we’re going
to head on to our next thing because we are
not done yet today. We’re probably done eating. But we’re
not done sightseeing yet. We have another thing coming up.
We’ll pick you up there. We are at the Jeju Herb Gardens. With so
many things in bloom in spring, this seems like the perfect spot to come. And they’re having a promotion where we
get a free foot bath with entrance. And we’re here late enough
in the day that we’re going to be able to see
some lights come on in a little while for the evening. Our
timing on this couldn’t be better. Bill’s pretty excited about
the foot bath. No. What are you trying to do to me? Well, the foot bath was pretty relaxing
and also a sales pitch. But since we don’t understand Korean, we
were immune to the sales pitch and we walked out without
buying anything. But our feet feel fantastic. They feel super
smooth. They’re cool, which is weird. And I’m all relaxed. That was great. Yeah. I’m glad that we spent the time
doing that. That was really cool. Now we’re going to take a look
at the gardens outside. The best part was it was included
in the price of entry. At least for us. They seem to be running
some kind of special or stale. Is it a stale sale? They seem to be running some kind
of special or sale today. So if you come here, your price might be
a little bit different. We’re not sure. We’re just happy it happened. Even though we’re just starting
to look around, I suspect there’s going to be a lot
of great selfie places. Like this one. And this one. And
this one. And this one. Definitely this one. And this one. Right
at the end of all the snowflowers. This one is more of a video selfie. What did you find, Bill? A UK-style phone booth. It seems a bit out of place
here, but why not? Why do you like UK phone booths, Bill? I don’t know. Is it like a lighthouse? Stop. Remember earlier how I got all excited
about the flower field that wasn’t actually a flower field? I was bamboozled by the plastic flowers. These are all real beautiful red
tulips planted in mass. Oh my gosh, it looks like snow.
How pretty is this? Oh, yep, that’s a butt. I really should have done this in
the opposite direction. Sorry, people. Yeah, these white flowers make
a lot more sense if you walk the proper direction
through them. You don’t have to see the animal butts
and the human statue butts. It’s too much fun to photograph
and film places like this. Oh, I found him. I think he’s
headed to the chapel. What are you doing? I guess I’m headed to the chapel. There’s a cat. That cat is going to the chapel. Hi, kitty. Oh, you are friendly. I warmed up the cat for you. Yeah. Can you not decide where you want to be? It just keeps walking. – I know. Which side is better? Well, you are super friendly. Yes, we have been here for a while
petting this stupid cat. Kitty, what’s your name? Would you like to be interviewed? No, he’s not. What would you like to say? Here’s my microphone. All right, we’ll leave you alone. The cat has followed us. Hi, sweetie. This video has gone off the
rails due to a cat. There are all sorts of nooks and crannies
that you can get stuck in here. It’s kind of fun to wander around and
see what you’re going to find. And I’m in a little pine grove. I’m stuck. I’m so glad that the foot bath was free
because it really warmed us up. I still am warm from it. It’s not wearing off yet. Quite happy. I’m quite happy with our free foot bath that
we resisted buying anything from. Quack, quack, quack, quack. Well, we are just about out of batteries,
which is a good thing because we have to be up super early tomorrow morning
for a hike that we’ve been saving and tomorrow’s
weather looks perfect. See you in the morning. Good morning. Good morning. As you can see, it is completely
dark outside. We have been staying next to Seongsan
Ilchulbong, which maybe I said right. And it is 5:30 in the morning
and we are joining many other people to hike up to the top
to try to see the sunrise. The name of the Ilchulbong actually means
sunrise peak or something like that. So it seems to be the thing to do. And here we are. We have put on all of our clothes
to prepare for this. Because it’s a little bit chilly because
the sun hasn’t even come up yet. But we’re ready and crossing our fingers the
sun actually rises because sometimes when you hike up for a sunrise
view, there’s nothing. You get nothing. Hopefully that’s not today. Let’s hit it. Thank you.
-Thank you. Oh, that’s very bright. It’s looking like there’s a lot of
clouds off in the distance. My fingers remain crossed and
clost and not awake yet. Well, it’s another hike to the summit of something to see a sunrise that
more or less peters out. No, no, no. I disagree. So we haven’t actually talked because
I was busy shooting something. I think it’s great because of
the nice clouds coming across, the view and the colors
that those set off. Yeah, we didn’t see the actual sun. Again. Technically, we didn’t see the sunrise,
but I thought it was beautiful. We tried to see the sunrise in Alishan
and it was way more cloudy than this. So I will say this was better than Alishan,
but it’s not like the picture-perfect sunrise that you want where
you can see the sun coming up over the horizon
in the distance. And that’s kind of what I was hoping for. It was still nice. My glass is half full. Was it worth getting up at 5 a.m. though? I think it was nice. I loved how people kept coming up. There were an impressive amount of people here with us and I thought that
was a lot of fun. Everybody was attempting to see
the sunrise together. That was cool. There might have been 100 people there we
didn’t count, but yeah, a lot of people. That was neat.
– Yeah. For sunrise peak. Oh, it was neat also, you could see out over the crater because
this is once a volcano. And you can see some of the fishing boats out
doing their thing. Now that it’s light out,
we can see the undulations of the land and the city
that we’re staying in. And it’s a beautiful view back to Jeju. It’s super pretty. It’s curious how there’s all
these mini mountains. I guess that’s part of the original
volcano that formed this area. There’s probably two dozen or more that
you can see from this point. I didn’t realize there were so many. I think it’s a pretty clear day. You can probably see 10 miles, 16
kilometers, something like that. It’s very clear. – Yeah. It’s a great view from up here. I would say the view is worth the hundreds
of stairs that we climbed. I’m not 100% positive that the
sunrise was worth. Not having coffee yet. That’s quite a lot of praise from Heather
who really dislikes climbing stairs. I mean, she really dislikes
climbing stairs. I think this has been well documented. And the fact that I did it without
any coffee yet. Yeah, we’re going to go back down. We’re going to fix that. You might have noticed that I’ve
picked up a fine new hat. He even has eyeballs. This was a gift. We actually bought a new backpack
here in Korea. Which we can show right here. It is an awesome backpack. It’s something we’ve been looking for for a
while and just stumbled onto it. A long time. We have certain features
we were looking for and we found them all here in Korea
by a French company that is based out of Annecy, France. So that was very unexpected. Anyhow, we bought this backpack and the kind
shop owner gave me this orange hat, which I was very happy to
make use of on this chilly morning because my headband
was not enough. Not only does it have eyeballs, but
it has a leaf right here. It’s cute. It’s perfect for Jeju. I’m glad that I have it. It kept me warm this morning. And that is the story of my orange hat. It’s a lot easier to go downstairs
than come up them, isn’t it? I will say, though, going upstairs
this morning kept us so warm. That’s how we should be staying warm. We should just be climbing everything
these few very cold days. Going down is easier on
the knees, though. This is our lives, pretty much. Our hotel is not too far from here. It’s super close, actually. Not that we were willing to walk the extra
11 minutes at 5.30 this morning. We definitely drove to the parking lot
because parking here is free. We had nothing to lose and seven
minutes of sleep to gain. We were going to bicycle
on Udo island yesterday, but we decided it was way
too windy and chilly for a bicycling adventure so that I’ll
have to wait for a different trip. At the base of the Ilchulbong is
a cove where every day the Haenyeo will go out and
they will catch things. It’s sort of like a performance except it’s
just them doing their daily routine. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out with our schedule to be able to go to one of them. Maybe that’s okay because I’m
kind of conflicted about it. Because on the one hand, I love
that it helps educate people and inform them about
the Haenyeo way of life. I think that gets a thumbs up for me. But they happen to go out every
day at the same time and they catch things
as a performance. I don’t know. I’m kind of
conflicted about it. I feel like it would be so much
more special to see them just sort of naturally
around the island even though we haven’t seen them yet. I think that if we do, it’ll be amazing
because we haven’t seen them. So again, I’m kind of torn. I’m disappointed that we missed it, but okay because it feels
a little bit contrived. I’m still hoping we’ll run into them
natively somewhere on the island. In the meantime, this cove where
their performance exhibition, whatever you call it, takes
place is absolutely beautiful. It’s stunning down here. The cutouts of the mountain like
it’s just stupendous. This view, it’s just magnificent. I’m bringing out all the big words
for how great it is. We’ve had requests to see the
places that we’re staying at and we’re really
happy with this one. So we thought we would show it to you. It is not far from the Ilchulbong where
we hiked this morning. It’s just outside of town. It’s quiet. It’s clean and it’s somewhere
we’d recommend. It has everything you need. Obviously a bed and a dresser. What are you doing? A table, which is something
that we miss when traveling, a table with chairs
is super helpful. This one is sort of like a little studio
because it also has a kitchenette. We have a refrigerator, a cooktop, a kettle,
a microwave, and the sink over here. Bill, this way. We’re going to do this in one shot. So follow me to the bathroom. We’ll show you that real quick. And then we’re saving the
best part for last. The best part for last is not the
bathroom, which is functional. Totally fine. The best part, they don’t care
about the shower, Bill. Come on. The best part is actually the view. This probably isn’t going to work, but
let’s do the dramatic drape reveal. Are you ready? Oh, that looks very white. The view is actually of the ocean and
Ilchulbong off in the distance. It is beautiful. It’s eastward facing. It is a spectacular view. So I’m going to link this down below. So if you want to stay here too,
you can hit up our link. Allright. We’ve got to get going. Come on, Bill. What are you doing? Wasting time
filming this? Let’s go! That never gets old. You forgot me. You forgot me. He never forgets me. It’s a joke. One of the people at the hotel legitimately thought that Bill drove away without me when I ran after him. She was concerned. Oh, it’s so cute. No, it’s okay. It’s just a gag. Did she get it once she saw the camera? I don’t think so. Hey, Bill. Hey, what? We just passed a sign for the
World Liquor Museum. Why aren’t we going there? Who planned this itinerary? There are so many places
you can go in Jeju, and many of them are museums
with dubious setups, I guess. It’s not like a traditional
museum how we know it, but why are we not going to the
World Liquor Museum, Bill? I don’t know. It didn’t make the cut. Well, we are at what technically
is our second stop today. Today we are exploring a little bit
more about citrus on Jeju, starting with a visit to
a tangerine farm, something I think I could safely say
we’ve never done before. There are a ton of citrus
trees in this area. You can see it just driving in, and it must
just must be the epicenter of it. Jeju’s famous for citrus. All right, let’s go check out
his tangerine farm. Hi. Hello. This is Bong Bong. Yeah, Bong B ong. hI Bong Bong. I’m ready. Let’s go pick some oranges or tangerines
actually, I think. Well we paid and we were
assigned our section. It was KR ₩10,000 per person for the
time that we’re here. It changes throughout the year depending
on what’s available. I think we’re here doing a really good
tangerine time, so I’m excited. What’s really cool is we have like
our own little area. Look at this. We’ve got two chairs and a table, and we could sit here and pick tangerines
for as long as we want. There’s no time limit, and anything that you eat is included in the
cost of admission. Anything you want to take with you,
you pay to take with you. We’re only here for like two
and a half more days, so I’m not sure how many
we’ll take with us, but we’re going to eat like
as many as we can. Probably an embarrassing amount of tangerines
are about to be consumed. This is so cool. I feel like we have our own
private little picnic. I’m super excited. Hi. Are you ready to eat some tangerines
and pick some? Let’s do this. All right. So your first cut’s an inch high, and then the second cut is
to make it smooth. Good job. Should we eat it? Let’s try it. I can’t really remember what a
tangerine tastes like, so let’s find out what we
got ourselves into. All you can eat tangerines, and I can’t remember what
they taste like. You’re going to love this. We have a peel bucket. It s mells really good. Peel faster! You missed the bucket. That’s okay. I miss the toilet sometimes too. These are all the things that you’re
cutting from the audio section that don’t need to go in bloopers. Oh, come on. All right. Are you ready to try
your first tangerine, Bill? I’ve been waiting while you’ve been
getting the camera ready. Yes, I’m ready. I had to wait forever while you peeled
it and cleaned the pith. All right, ready? Oh, yeah. It’s really soft and very, very sweet. It’s sort of like an orange meets
a mandarin a little bit. Is that what tangerine is? Is it like
an orange, orange-aline. What are you talking about? Here’s another one. No. It is so juicy. It is super, super juicy. That is really good. I could probably eat a lot of those. It’s sort of like having candy. Really good. Bill’s just standing behind me
eating the whole time. [unintelligible] Seems unfair. Let me have some. He didn’t have one ready. That would have been really
good timing if he had. That proves how much we don’t
plan these things. This is raw, baby. We should have brought some napkins. Yep. I didn’t think of that. All right. That’s a nice one with the little leaf. Don’t you think? Nice. Good job, Farmer Bill.
– Yep. Note that Farmer Bill is
wearing short sleeves. We are in a greenhouse structure. And it’s quite nice in here. It is very nice. They did specifically warn
us about the thorns. And I need to wear this shirt for
another week and a half. So I don’t want to wreck the shirt in
order to get a free orange. Tangerine. Sorry. Time to eat some more. This is kind of fun. This is kind of fun, huh? I’m actually getting full. Which I didn’t think was possible from
just consuming tangerines. And this is a really nice treat for us. We can’t get these at home from Korea. They’re just not sold in the stores. And it tastes better because
we picked it anyway. I forgot my basket. Such a newbie. This is a good tree. This may not look like much, but
we’re both pretty full. It’s surprising how filling
tangerines are. Time to put the jackets back on. We’re definitely putting jackets back on. Well, we only picked like
five to bring with us because we’re only here
for a few more days. And we’re not sure how many
we’re able to eat. But it was still a fun experience. We’re actually going to check
out their cafe. It’s ard to believe that you might have room
in our bellies still to eat anything. Maybe they have some tangerine-
themed pastries. That would be awesome. I love how Korea does themes really well. Yes. And also Heather wants to pet the dog
one last time before we go. I mean, maybe twice more. Bong Bong. Hi, buddy. You’re very sweet. I smell like all the other dogs that
I’ve petted on this trip. Is it time to go? We enjoyed a little visit with the dog at the
cafe while we had an exquisite scone. It had perfect crumb, perfect dryness. That was really good. The tangerine Jam Bill wants me to
tell you about as well. Very important. And much like I had trouble tearing Bill
away from the cat in Taiwan, he’s having trouble tearing me away from
the dog here, who is amazing. It’s a really sweet dog. Oh, the sweetest. Yeah. And a great name for the orchard. Bong Bong. All right. [checks again for the dog] Oh, yes, there is an orange behind me. We are at our third stop for the day,
the Jeju Citrus Museum. We are hoping to learn a little bit
more about the history of citrus here on Jeju. Now that we have partaken? Partook? Had
eaten a bunch of the tangerines. So that is why we are here and there is like
an orange or tangerine grove outside. And I’m pretty curious to learn more about
citrus tradition here in Jeju. I guess that’s where the slice
fell out from. Well, for some reason, admission was free
to the Citrus Museum today. It says free admission. – Oh, wow. I have no idea why. Maybe it’s a holiday. I have no idea, but there was a sign up
saying it was free admission. So here we are. Yay, us! We saved a little
bit of money. Jeju really is the Hawaii of Korea. It was pretty unexpected to
walk upstairs and find two Hawaiian-looking shirts in
a display about Jeju. Which one do you want, Bill? That one looks pretty amazing. We just walked outside. It turns out that there is like this greenhouse area that you can also
go to that has lots of citrus trees on display, which
is Bill’s lucky day. And mine too, I guess. One of my favorite scents in the entire
world is orange blossoms. And there’s a couple trees here
that are just about open. And it’s so sweet smelling. It’s amazing. If we could share the wonderful
floral scent with you of these orange
blossoms, you would understand why it’s Bill’s favorite
scent in the world. It is fantastic. We love the scent of jasmine, but orange blossoms are like just a bit next level. Is Google working on smell tube yet? These are amazing. You need to smell this. Look, they’re not even fully
blooming yet. There’s a couple of flowers here
that are in full bloom. But the rest are just on the… They’re going to bloom tomorrow
or something. They’re right on the edge. They’re on the cusp. And it smells incredible. Wow. I can’t believe we just went on for 1:18 about how much
we love the smell of orange blossoms. That’s how much we love the smell. We honestly were just going
to walk through this area because we just
went to a tangerine farm, but it turns out with the orange blossoms smell, it’s completely
different and just as amazing because of the smells. So good. I’ve never heard of some of these. Yeah, they’re not quite open yet. They don’t quite smell yet. At least not on this tree. What are these little orange guys. I don’t know what these are. Are they’re little baby oranges? They are tiny. They’re hard. They’re like the tiniest oranges ever. There’s a breeze coming toward me and
it’s just like the scent. Capital T, capital S, The Scent. Well, I’ve really learned a lot about the
history of the tangerine here in Jeju. I might be turning into one. How about you, Bill? I think I ate too many earlier today. Oh, look, there’s one growing
out of my head. Its’ orange ink seems appropriate. Come on, be good, be good. Ah, it’s good. Nice. Oh, I smell coffee. Am I imagining it? Am I having a stroke? No. I smelled something like that too. That’s also a really good smell. We’re really into the smells today. Well, the museum is normally
KR ₩1,500 to get into. Again, I have no idea why
it was free today. I think it was a fun little stop. I appreciate more the history of the tangerine, specifically here on
Jeju, and how it rose. It was super important to royalty,
I guess you could say. And then it fell due to necessity. And then it has risen back again and is super popular and is now
world-renowned for so many things, the taste and healing properties
and so many things. I’ll admit I was skeptical
as to whether we should go to this because we were
just at the orchard. This is not to be missed. And I think the best part is honestly the greenhouse where you get to smell
all the blossoms. You’re saying don’t miss this because of the
smells, not all the important history and stuff, but don’t miss it because
it smells that good. That’s what Bill says. Take in the history if you like a museum. To us, we enjoyed that. But definitely don’t forget, go out in
the greenhouse, smell the smells. And we are in… Seogwipo. What he said. That’s where we are. I don’t know if I’m saying it correctly. Probably not. We checked into our hotel
and we had grand plans of going and seeing
a nearby waterfall. But it turns out that when you get
up at 5 a.m. to hike to the top of an old volcano, you get
hungry at weird times. So we are headed to a nearby market to see
if we can find some Korean street food, which I feel like we haven’t
had enough of. So that’s where we’re headed now. Taking a look at Seogwipo on the way. All right, our first glimpse of the market
tells us that this is busy and covered. So it’s pretty dark, but busy. All I see are people at the entrance. Oh my gosh. It looks pretty big too. It’s going to take a while. It looks like maybe we’re entering at the
seafood section, if there are sections. We found our first victim and the first
thing gave us gloves to eat with. So I don’t know. This might
be a little bit messy. So now I’m glove hands. That’s impressive. They had many flavors available. We clearly went with cheese. I don’t know how to eat this neatly. All right, I’m going to scrunch
it up into a little ball. Now we understand why they
gave us the gloves. – Yeah. There’s some sweet chili sauce that came
with it, which I’m diving into. It’s warm. That’s almost like a
garlic cheese bread. What we know back home at least. I swear I taste a little bit of
garlic underneath there. The cheese is obviously super gooey. And the sweet chili, I never would have
thought to put that with a cheese bread, but it’s delicious! It’s so good. You’re really going to like it. This does look like my
kind of thing. It does.
You better get in here! Oh yeah, there it is. All right, try it, Bill. I think Heather’s description
is right on. It was a lot like garlic cheese bread
that we would have at home, but with a chili twist. And it’s just got a little
bit of citrus flavor. It’s delicious. I never would have thought of putting these
things together, but it’s really good. And now that we’ve had sweet chili
sauce with our cheese bread, I’m not sure we can eat it any other way. This is going to be good. Thank you.
Thank you. Oh yes! Don’t spill it. No pressure. Nobody’s watching. This is really tricky to do while
standing, I have to say. Oh dear God, that looks spicy. Oh Nellie. Oh my God. Oh, my stomach turned inside out. I don’t honestly know how
the locals do this. They stand and eat. So this is a black pork pancake. And she said to mix all the onions and
the sauce together, very yummy. It’s black pork, very thinly sliced. And then on either side, it’s
basically scrambled egg. Awesome! You’re going to love this actually. How spicy is it? So the spice, it’s really strong, but it
hits you hard and then it goes away. Except for my tongue is still tingling. That does not sound like it hits
you hard and goes away. That is so good. I’m just going to do a light dredge through
the spice because I’m not Bill. Okay, wait.
No, here’s a little piece of onion. Oh, this is perfect. Okay. A little piece of onion with
a little bit of spice that hopefully doesn’t
kill me, Bill. Boy, that’s really unexpected to have the egg around the outside of
the pork like that. Oh God, they’re… Why didn’t it take so long to hit me?
Oh my God! For me, it hit really hard and fast. You need some water? – No. Do you require medical attention. No, it’s not that bad. It took a minute to hit me? I’ll just have another piece
that is naked to clear it up. That is really different. I’ve never had anything like this. That is really fun. Except for the spice, which
nearly killed me. The spice is the spice of life. It’s not variety, it’s just spice. That’s deep. Well, the next thing that
we’re eating was supposed to be mine and it probably
still will be, but she’s already warned us it’s
a little bit spicy. So, we’ll see how this goes. They smell amazing. There’s peanut on the outside,
peanuts dumplings. And I don’t know what’s
on the inside, except that they’re a little bit spicy. They smell like really, really good. Thank you.
– Thank you. They look a little hot. Maybe also spicy, but definitely hot. Bill has water on standby, and I’m not sure
if that’s because these are hot or because we were told they
were a little spicy. And for me, a little spicy might
mean a lot spicy in Korea. So, burnt tongue, burnt throat,
let’s find out. Oh, that is a little spicy. That’s delicious. They sort of
look like peanuts. Oh my God, this place still comes. They sort of look like peanuts in how
they look, which is really fun. I think there’s peanuts involved
in the outside. And it’s like a kimchi, rice, and
pork thing in the middle. It’s sort of like bibimbap in a bun. It is really good. It is a little bit spicy for me. But I think I can manage it. I think I’ve got this. It’s really good. Okay, I can’t lie. The first one was easy to handle. The second one was okay to handle. By the time I got done with the third one,
I handed the fourth one off to Bill. What’s the problem? So much spice. We saw an ice cream place, and we missed
having peanut ice cream on Udo. So, we’re going to go see
if they have peanut ice cream to cool the peanut-
kimchi fireball that’s brewing in my mouth
and my stomach. It’s a lot. Thank you.
– Thank you. Wait, I get to have that.
What are you doing? I must cool the flames with
some peanut ice cream since we didn’t make it to Udo. Oh… Heather really likes peanut
butter normally. Peanut ice cream is amazing. It sort of tastes like peanut butter. Oh man, this is perfect after my
spicy stuff that I had. This is delicious. It’s so good. I’m happy. That is awesome. The rest of this is yours, I promise. Well, I think that about
does it for today. I’m recovering well from the spice thanks to the awesome peanut ice
cream that we had. We still have more adventures to come. It’s hard to believe. Tomorrow we have some hikes planned, some temples, I don’t know, Bill’s in charge. So, we’ll see what he came up with. Alright. See you tomorrow. Good morning. Welcome back to day five of our six-day
road trip around Jeju. We’re starting to realize that maybe wind on
Jeju is just sort of a state of being. Anyhow, day five as windy as the other
days, but sunny and gorgeous. We are starting today at
Yakcheonsa Temple. This is the temple that has the largest
wooden Buddha statue in all of Korea. So, it’s kind of a big start for the day. We’ve been to a number of
Korean temples and I don’t think we’ve ever seen
this many elephants. So, this might be my favorite temple. There are these small blossoming trees, dare I call them bonsai blossoms, that
are leading up to the temple. And this one is, I’ve never
seen anything like it. It’s crimson and white on the same tree. I don’t know how that’s possible. Like it’s some kind of Buddhist magic. I don’t know. It’s beautiful and so pretty. That was a very large Buddha that’s
surprisingly made of wood. And it’s the largest in Korea, the largest
Buddha made of wood in Korea. That did not look like wood at all. I was totally fooled. Then we went upstairs and two levels up was
my favorite thing inside this temple. And that was beautiful paper lanterns, some
style of which we’ve never seen before. They look like they were
maybe hand painted. I don’t know. They were beautiful. That was my favorite thing
inside the temple. Overall, it’s just a beautiful
and very colorful temple. It’s gorgeous. And there’s our fire warning for today. [beeping sound] Korea really wants us to know not to light
any fires anywhere near anything. It’s very dry. Actually, Bill would not even
have the alert about the fire if it wasn’t for our
Ubigi eSIM service. That’s who we’ve been using as our eSIM provider all over the world
when we travel. And definitely here in Korea,
it’s come in handy. Not only is Bill getting his
fire alerts, but we’ve also been using it
to map using Naver, which is something we haven’t
been familiar with. And you can’t download the maps
as near as we can tell. We have to know where we are going and
we have to have data service. Ubigi is reliable and you can save 10% by using the link down in the
description below. If you need to be connected and if you’re
traveling, check it out. Now we’re going to go check
out cherry blossoms because they are blooming here
and they look beautiful. And we haven’t seen them in
at least 10 minutes. At least 10 minutes. They’re everywhere. We found their cherry blossom trees. Wow. Yeah, that is what he’s wowing at. It just doesn’t get old seeing them. We know how special it is. And so we want to really capture every one
that we see and remember the moment. Because they’re beautiful! These ones do smell of something. There’s an alternate parking lot, maybe
just for buses, down at the bottom. And down here is where there’s tons
more cherry blossom trees. But there’s one that’s magnificent that
is at the edge of a bridge. And it’s absolutely massive
and really pretty. Look at this. It might be one of the most majestic cherry
blossom trees that we’ve seen so far. And in fact this one smells. So maybe it’s a little bit different variety
than the other ones that we’ve seen. This is just so picturesque here with the
tree and there’s a bridge and more trees. And there’s even a tiny little river that’s
running underneath the bridge. It’s uper picturesque entry to the temple. It’s the lower entry. We came
used a different parking lot. Cherry blossom to oranges or tangerines? Damn it. Tangerines. Tangerines. They’re bigger than the
size of my fist. What? Oh get out of the street, tourists! Oh my God. Whoa! This is just down the random road that
we’re taking to get to lunch. Holy crap. Wow. Cherry blossoms again. We’re just driving along and boom,
cherry blossoms! Here’s the truth. That was the best meal I think
I’ve had on Jeju so far. That bibimbap was delicious. Yeah it was really good. I had the abalone, abalone, I’m not sure how exactly you say it, Abalone with rice. It was a lot like a mushroom risotto but everything was really flavorful
and delicious. It was super fresh. We’re pretty sure their kimchi was made
right here at the restaurant. It was absolutely delicious. So if you’re in this area, I’m
going to leave a link down in the description to the
name of the restaurant. It’s that building right there. Absolutely delicious. Now we need to do some more sightseeing. It is time to explore a little bit more
of the nature here on Jeju. Ahh! [Laughter] Oh my gosh. Bonkers! It doesn’t end. Oh my gosh! It seriously doesn’t end. It’s endless, this street. Oh golly. We missed our turn because
of cherry blossoms. [Laughter] It doesn’t end. It goes on and on and on, and
oh, it just ended. On this side of the street. Right. It continues over there. How bonkers was the drive here? I think that Bill maybe intentionally
forgot to turn so that we could go by all
of the cherry blossoms. That was, it just kept going and going. We didn’t even hit the end of it like
it’s picked back up again. Ahh! Thank you for giving me the
benefit of the doubt. I just missed the turn. [Laughter] I tried to be nice. We are at our next stop which is a series
of waterfalls and a beautiful bridge and that is actually en route
to a small hike that we’re going to do a little later
on at some cliffs. So this is a beautiful day with beautiful cherry blossoms, a wonderful lunch. Things are going really well today. It’s the warmest day yet. It’s beautiful weather. In case you’re wondering, those
are more cherry blossoms. They’re above me, behind me, and coming up in front of me. [Laughter] At what point do you just start
taking them for granted? I don’t know. Wow. Imagine what this would be like
if it was after a heavy rainfall. This would be very impressive and the
water is just this deep, deep blue. Deep blue. Wow! Is it naturally this bluish green? It’s so dark. It’s really pretty. I wish it was flowing but that would mean
it had rained recently, so never mind. We’re good with it the way it is. This is waterfall number two and it is not
dependent on rainfall so it is flowing. And the water again at the
basin is very blue. Very dark blue. It’s super pretty. I’m free. I guess it’s warm enough now. I want to go down the stairs quickly
but not this quickly. [caution stairs] We’re going to have to go
back up these later. Something I didn’t realize about Jeju is
that they seem to have at least three, maybe even four seasons because these
trees clearly lost their leaves. Does it snow regularly here
or does it get cold enough that there’s a fourth season? We had no idea if that was the
case but clearly this is spring and the leaves are just starting
to emerge from the trees. It’s about to be us. I love stairs. They’re so fun. Yes! There’s a really steep, beautiful bridge that
we’ve been getting peaks of as we’ve been looking at the different waterfalls. And we’re finally going over it now. It is very steep. It has a super steep arch to the bridge
and I’m hoping that we can see at least one, maybe both the waterfalls
from up here. And the answer on this side, I can see
the start of one of the waterfalls. And on this side, I can’t see
either waterfall. Well, we can see the head of the third waterfall and I feel like I can
hear the second one. Still, the vantage point from up here
is pretty cool. It’s beautiful. You can see the ocean off
in the distance. Naturally, some cherry blossoms. It’s a great view up here. The
bridge is beautiful. Today has been a pretty clear day and you
can see Hallasan off in the distance. We can sort of see it everywhere we’ve been on Jeju, but today is
particularly clear. Possibly I filmed these twice. I can’t help myself. We are on to our next destination. We managed to make it out of the
cherry blossom area. And the next place we’re going to
is super time sensitive. So we actually contacted them to make sure
that we’d be able to visit today. So I’m pretty excited about this stop. I
think it’s going to be gorgeous. Why is it time sensitive? Because the tides matter in Jeju. Also, we just passed a sign for a chocolate
museum and a food museum. More regrets. What’s at the chocolate museum and the
food museum? That sounds amazing. We also passed up on the piano museum and there was the liquor museum
the other day. The World Liquor Museum. The world liquor museum right here
in Jeju and we missed it. All these things. All right. We are at Yongmeori Coast
where it is extremely windy. So I’m trying to cover my mic so we
don’t get too much wind sound. This is super popular. Probably because actually
being able to enter it during the right time is
pretty restricted. As I mentioned, you have to
be here during low tide and low tide happens in
about two hours today. So this is perfect timing. And today it was only open, what
was it 1:30 to 5:00pm? Yeah, 1:30 to 5:00pm. So it’ll change every day. So if you decide to come here,
check the times. Which we were not able to find
anywhere to do it online. Bill messaged them.
-Yeah. That was the only way. We don’t really know what to expect here, only that it was highly
recommended online and some of the photos I
saw were beautiful. It sounds pretty deep back there. It’s a beautiful spot. We don’t really know what to expect here. Is this an out and back? Are we going all the way around the
peak that’s above this? What I do know is that we
have not experienced very much of the water here on Jeju. We’re not really here in the
right month for it. So we’ve planned most of our activities
to be on land rather than water. So I feel like we need to come
back when it’s a lot warmer out in order to check
out all the beaches. Because this one looks really cool. The one that’s adjacent to
where we came in. It does. In this section in particular, you can tell why it would be closed
during high tide. When the waves come up, they
come up pretty high. Not that. That wasn’t a big
one. Just wait. I’m standing here waiting for a
wave to jump in my camera. That got a little close. Oh God. Here comes another one. Maybe don’t say it’s so close
to the water! I like that camera, don’t you? I like you, don’t you? Oh yeah, you said that because
I was recording. That’s close enough for me. I was filming it just in case. Just in case. That’s very considerate of you. The rock that she’s standing
on right now is wet. I was standing like right there. But I’m okay and so is the camera. Three meters from the ocean. That’ll be so I can take my bit. The landscape here is certainly
dramatic and it makes sense because this is
Jeju’s oldest volcano. And it left a little bit of drama
behind. It’s gorgeous. And it has some dramatic waves
today apparently. Action shot. These looks like tiny shells. We have had a lot of people go by us that have not gone back in the
other direction. So I think this is indeed
a circular route. So we get to see it all the way around and
experience 360 degrees of waves almost. Not quite 360. It’s like 270. Ooh! I got a little wet on that one. Not too bad. Did you hear that I was hit, Bill? You were hit by what? The wave. You look dry, surprisingly. It was on my legs and my arms. I guess you’re a bit too close. Thanks for your sympathy. Are you all right? It’s just water.
I can see that you’re all right. Oh God. [Laughter] Yep, that’s what it did when I gasped. [Laughter] So one thing we haven’t talked
about is the rock surfaces here are very
not slippery at all. And it seems like the soft stuff
is all washed away. And what’s left is this really gritty,
spiky, hard rock that’s left. It’s very hard to slip your shoes
on even when it’s wet. If you come here make sure that you’re paying
close attention to where you are because even though it’s
not very slippery, it’s still super easy to turn your ankle. We just saw someone being
carried out on a stretcher and she had clearly
twisted her ankle. So be careful if you come here. Let that
be a warning for all of us. Let’s see how cold the water is. Oh, it’s warm. Oh, I can’t believe that. How is that water so warm? That is so unexpected. Maybe you should go touch the water. It’s
probably super cold coming off the… It’s not very cold at all. Wow. Isn’t it warm? That’s really surprising. I thought so too. Yeah, it’s warmer than I am. Welcome back to day six of our road
trip around Jeju Island. We just came from Taiwan to Korea. When we were there on our last
day, we did possibly the most touristy thing we’ve
ever done in Taiwan. And here on our last day in Jeju,
we are at the tea fields, which look to be the absolute busiest thing that we’ve done in our
six days on Jeju. I cannot believe the number of buses
that are in the parking lot. 11, 12, 13, 14 buses. 14 buses! 14 buses! How are there so many buses here?
There’s 14 buses. Oh my gosh. This is gonna be wild. This is gonna be madness, but we’re still gonna go and see what the tea
museum is all about. Now that we’ve been to a few
museums on Jeju, we have a little bit better idea
of what to expect. Maybe a little bit of education, a lot of
selling, and a lot of photo opportunities that are going to be packed with
the mobs of bus goers. Let’s go see what we find. You guys, I think it’s school groups
that we’re here with. Also, cherry blossoms. Oh wow. It smells little sharply of tangerine. Thank you. They’re sampling peanut black
tea today, so we’re gonna give that a go. It
does smell peanutty. It’s very orange in color and it
does smell really good. That’s black tea? That was green.
It must be green. They said it was black. Wow, that’s smooth! Samples never work. I’m sure we’re not gonna buy the whole store
up. Right? It does taste like peanuts. It
does taste like peanuts. We do not need more tea. Or a do we? Heather loves peanuts, peanut butter,
anything to do with peanuts. We go straight from trying
it into the shops. We did sort of see some fields
on the way in here. That’s about what we expected,
I would say. Well, Bill convinced me to
try a green tea cake and green tea ice cream, so
he’s off getting that. We didn’t really, like we
knew it was loud inside, but then we stepped outside
and it was like… silence. I mean it wasn’t silent, but
boy it sure felt like it. Anyhow, he’s off getting our
cake and our ice cream. This looks amazing. Well, Bill is back with our ice cream and
I’m convinced that this stop that was on the itinerary that he designed was solely so that he could have green
tea ice cream, which is some of his favorite and it’s
very hard to find back home. It’s very hard to find. Bill just said, “So this is mainly me and
you’re going to have a bite, right?” I mean, I like cake. In my defense, you said you
weren’t that hungry and tea-flavored ice cream wasn’t
really your thing. But it seemed like the thing
to get here and they had, you could also get it on
some cakes and things. So that’s what we’ve done here and
Heather’s not waiting. Solidarity.
– Okay. It’s melting, man. Did you get some of the cake? No, I just got the ice cream. Okay. Oh! This is good, isn’t it? That is really good. It has a very strong tea flavor in both
the ice cream and the cake. The cake is just, it’s very
moist and fluffy. You know, I meant to tell you while you
were gone that I got hungry. Is this better than a donut? – No. It’s pretty good though. There wasn’t a ton of information
inside the museum about Osulloc Tea Farms
or the tea museum. But we did learn that Osulloc
is one of the world’s top three producers of green
tea in all the world. And I wouldn’t have known that
if I hadn’t come here. And so I guess I’m glad that I came despite
the fact that there are mobs of people. And this is clearly more
of a shopping and eating experience than like
a museum, I would say. It’s actually hard to do this because I
don’t want them snagging my pants. Bill said walk normally, this
is not what he had in mind. I can’t, they’re not wide enough.
Don’t make me do this. Abort. Abort! Right next door to the Osulloc Tea Museum
farm thing, is Innisfree. And it might be like the headquarters. It’s called Innisfree Jeju House. Either way, don’t worry, Bill. I’ve got this stop. Do they have any ice cream? Oh, good. Probably. Oh, okay. I’m good. There’s also some cherry blossoms here. Well? We’re not going to talk
about the shopping? Okay. I really like Innisfree products. And to be able to come here and buy some like straight from the store
is pretty cool. I was not upset to see this
stop on our itinerary, but we were here a little bit
longer than normal. It happens a lot. And so we got to go find some lunch now. I think we’re here a little over
what, two, two and a quarter hours with a little snack
and lots of shopping. Arguably, that was like an hour too much. Let’s go see what else the coast brings
us today as we head back to Jeju City. Cherry blossoms! I’m not over them yet. Cherry blossoms! And there, and there, and there,
and there, and there. – And there. Oh, giant windmills. Yeah, they’re off to the right. We should go find them after lunch? – I think so. Oh yeah, it’s this little
place right here. Is it the stone or the yellow? Stone. That was really good. Mine was really unusual. I thought I was getting something
that had green tea on the side, but instead you poured
it over the rice. Again, really, really good. It was really good. And Bill had a curry of some kind. That’s really good.
It’s a Korean curry. We hesitate to call it a Japanese curry,
but it was very similar. We destroyed it. We ate everything. Now we are headed to the west coast because
we want to be able to say that we saw the north, the south, the east,
and the west coast. So that’s where we’re headed now. It’s so amazing! This has been going on for like
five minutes now. It’s just cherry blossom, cherry blossom,
cherry blossom, cherry blossom. In the middle of I don’t even
know where we are and it goes on forever. It’s still going.
It’s still going. More cherry blossoms. Look at it. Oh my God. Look at this road. Look at it. Look at it.
Look at it! Where are we? Oh my gosh, this whole road! Bonkers! This is not marked on anything. We’re headed to some windmills
on the coast and… It’s still going! It’s still going! There’s more. This road just keeps going. It’s still going. Oh my God. I don’t even believe it. We can’t ever try to see cherry
blossoms again. No. Nothing will beat this. There must be millions of the actual flowers, millions that we’ve seen. It’s done. Wow. Oh wait. – That’s what you think. Wait. How many cameras are too many
to be filming with? That’s what I want to know. Bump! This is what the cherry blossoms
have come to you guys. There’s more. It’s still going. Oh my God! I don’t even believe it. I have to say while Bill is driving
and not talking, that the cherry blossoms here on Jeju possibly have wrecked cherry
blossoms forever for us because they are so prolific
that I can’t imagine ever having a better experience
with cherry blossoms than we’ve had here. And it was entirely, accidentally
on purpose. I mean, we could have missed this easily. It just is by like a little
bit of dumb luck and a little bit of planning that everything
came together to have the perfect cherry blossom
experience while we’ve been here. I can’t imagine it being better
anywhere else. It’s just amazing. We’ve seen them before, but
nothing like this. We have many questions about things
that we’ve seen on Jeju. This falls into that category. There’s no signs about it. It’s just right back there. Anybody know what the scoop is? We’ve seen a lot of random
things here on Jeju, but I would say that Jeju saved the most
random thing for the last day. Well, we thought we were done
with our hikes. There’s a walk on the West Coast that
we didn’t know was here. Also, just a little behind-the-
scenes information. If you’re wondering why we’re always running
behind, it’s because we get somewhere and it takes more than the time
we allocated for it. And that’s this stop, which is
a bunch of windmills. You may have noticed us talking about
how windy it is here in Jeju. Well, they’ve capitalized on it by
having windmills everywhere. And there’s a windmill farm
on the West Coast. I haven’t seen many of these up close,
and they’re kind of cool looking. They’re really majestic. Some of them are actually out to
sea several hundred meters, some are here among the volcanic rocks. It looks like we can walk
right up to one. So I’m kind of curious to see how big these
are, like right in front of them. Yeah. I think the answer is enormous. Yeah, I’m sure. Hey, Bill, there’s one behind you. Ahh! There’s stairs. Are we able to go inside? I don’t think so. That would be pretty awesome. The sign says you have to have
hair, shoes and gloves. I have no idea what the sign says. I don’t think you can go in. I’ve never been up close to
one of these before, and so I never realized that they
make a humming sound. Huh. I did not know that. And yes, they are massive. This one says you can only go in if you
have hair, shoes and gloves. So a hat. No, it’s hair. Well, that’s what they call a helmet. Sorry, Bill. I’m an easy target. If you’re wondering how windy it
is up by the windmill, this is the answer. Look at my hair. Is that Heather talking? Oh, she’s in there somewhere. I can’t see anything. The crystal-blue waters here
are just amazing. Pretty much every time you
look at the ocean, it’s, I don’t know, I want
to get in the water, except I don’t because it’s cold. I can’t see anything. [laughter] I’m sure it’s very pretty. Jesus. Here, let me help. Oh, it is really pretty. He’s right. It’s even like a light-aqua
green in some places. It’s super pretty. It’s beautiful. He’s right. All kidding aside, hair problems
aside, it’s beautiful. This is a gorgeous stop
on the west coast. When we arrived on Jeju six days ago, we had three questions that we
were wondering about. Does Jeju, in fact, remind us of Hawaii,
a place we know and love? Are we going to be able to
see cherry blossoms? And will I get to see the Haenyeo
diving in the ocean? And the answer is we don’t think we
got to see the Haenyeo diving. We tried though. And the cherry blossoms,
we hit the jackpot. They’re pretty much everywhere. Nailed it! And it turns out that Jeju does, in
fact, remind us of Hawaii, which surprised us. It’s like Hawaii with four
seasons. It’s great. And now we have three new questions. Is it always this windy here? What’s up with all the museums? And does it snow regularly? But those questions are going
to have to wait. Because we got to go pack,
and it might be a chore to fit all of our things
in our bags. Why won’t you shut? Shut! As we head on to our next adventure. I love you, cherry blossom. Hey Heather, we got to go. I’m not going until they’re done
blooming. You can’t make me go. Hey, we got to go. No. No. Come on. No, you can’t make me. I won’t leave. They’re not done. Thank you so much for watching. See you next time. Bye.

We’re on Jeju Island for 6 days, circling the entire island in one adventurous, epic road trip. We did more than 20 things in 6 days! We nailed cherry blossom season, and we went in search of the Haenyeo, did some hiking, and went to so many museums (are they really museums though?). Plus so much food!
