We arrive at Incheon International Airport, next day is around 07:35 am (Korean time) or 06:35 am (Malaysia time). The different time between Korea and Malaysia is only 1 hour. I’m so excited when arrive at Seoul, Korea. I feel super duper happy. (^_^)

We meet our Korean’s tour guide, after we take our luggage. The day that we arrive at Incheon International Airport is raining and the temperature is so cold, almost around 6-8’C. That my first time feels the natural cold, normally feel cold because of air condition. She told us that our flight to Jeju Island on 14:15 (Korea time) so we have time to visit some place in Seoul, Korea before we flight to Jeju Island.

The first place of tour in Seoul, Korea is Sarangcahe Presidential Museum. This museum is all about Korea’s cultural and president of South Korea. To informs visitors about Korea’s past, present and future. In this museum, show us about famous Korean drama and K-Pop. It’s so nice. I love it that part. Hahaha

Near by of Sarangcahe Presidential Museum is Gyeongbok Palace in Seoul – the main palace during Joseon Dynasty (1392 – 1910). This palace is the most comprehensive and grandest of the five palaces of the Joseon Dynasty. This place is the great place to learn about Korea’s history of palace’s life. This palace so big and it have so much building that has the different name and function. I feel so cold and tired because of raining and I have to take long walk to visit other building in that palace, but still nice. In my opinion, people in Joseon Dynasty like to take long walk to go visit their place.

After that we straight go to Iteawon to lunch at Indian Food Shop. What can I said, Iteawon almost as like Bukit Bintang in Malaysia. These places have the most foreigners in Korea and this place too is the easy way to Muslim tourist to find halal foods – it’s because this place have International Mosque Itaewon. It’s easy to go Iteawon by use subway – just exit to Iteawon station.

P/S: Please beware your beg when you at Itaewon.

After lunch and pray at International Mosque Itaewon, we straight go to Gimpo Domestic Airport. Actually, the weather is still raining and our flight to Jeju International Airport was delay almost 3 hours but our tour guide always keep checked our flight. After 3 hours waiting, finally Korean Airlines decide to take our group to the fast flight to Jeju International Airport. Our flight from Gimpo Domestic Airport was 15:55 (Korean time) or 03:55 pm. 

We only have 30 minutes before our flight time to Jeju International Airport. The Korea Airlines was open the fast link for check-in luggage. After that, they escort us to our airplanes before our flight time. Actually, I quite nervous and worried, if our luggage not at Jeju International Airport because the period so short but they do their jobs so well. I respect their work so well. All getting smooth, we arrive safe at Jeju – around 18:00 (Korea time) or 06:00 pm. International Airport. The weather at Jeju Island also same like in Seoul, Korea is still raining and strong winds.

Then, our tour guide asks our driver bus to bring us to Mystery Road for our first tour in Jeju Island before our dinner. Actually when we look at Mystery Road just the normal road like as road in Malaysia too but the mystery of this road are the engine of vehicle will automatic turn off and at the same times, the vehicle will going up like climb the mountain. This road is only around 500 metes and it has road mark from start point and end point. This road was found by one of Jeju’s driver taxi and he feels something happen on his taxi. These roads make me deny Newton’s theory on gravity and until now nobody know how it happens.

After we visit Mystery Road, we straight go to Seafood shop for dinner. We not go to Sea Lady Museum because of too late and the museum already close by 18:00 pm (Korea time). Here, all fish are fresh and sweet include cabbage kimchi. It’s so different at Malaysia. I already fall in love with Korean foods.

Then, we proceed to go our hotel. The journey from Seafood shop to our hotel makes it almost 1 hour. So I and my friends was sleep in the bus because we so sleeping and tired. We take two flight in one day, that is international flight and domestic flight.

Our hotel at Jeju Island, it is so nice and big. I love it so much. 

Second day journey at Jeju Island is already the end... Stay Tune~ My story of third day at Jeju Island...

The most countries that I love to visit are the South Korea. I never feel boring to visit South Korea again, if I have chance to do that again in future. Last spring, I was goes to South Korea for vacation with my high school’s friends. This vacation is my plan during me still in high school. I want to go South Korea, when I got work after my study at university. Actually, I plan to go South Korea after 5 years saving money from my own salary but I can manage only 1 year 6 months only. 

I decide to go South Korea include Jeju Island that near by at Busan, South Korea. I know if I got chance to go South Korea, I will go Jeju Island too in my first vacation at South Korea. I was deal this vacation with travel agency because I still don’t know the interesting place in South Korea, transportation, hotel and the most important thing are halal foods in South Korea – because I'm Muslim so it’s will be difficult to me and my friends to find halal foods at South Korea by our self. That why, we decide to use travel agency for first time go South Korea.

I was deal with travel agency – Holiday Tours & Travel Sdn Bhd but I was go travel with other travel agency that is Malaysian Harmony Tour & Travel Sdn Bhd. We choose Muslim travel package to go South Korea include Jeju Island for 8 Days 6 Nights. This Muslim travel package’s price are around RM 4,500.00 (all in) include ticket flight by Korean Airlines return way (economy class), hotel 3 or 4 stars, halal foods, travel insurance, tipping, and others. I will tell all you guys, the advantage and disadvantage using travel agent that not take our voice.

I am using two flights in this travel. First, I use the international flight from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to Incheon International Airport on 5th April 2013 . I depart from Kuala Lumpur are around 23:25 (Malaysia time) or 11:25 pm. I also need to stand by at KLIA, 2 hours before flights time. It’s because I need to do check-in luggage and take the seating numbers from tour leader from Malaysian Harmony Tour & Travel Sdn Bhd but it’s quite shock, our tour leader was late arrive at KLIA and also she can’t manage our group so well.

When, I take seating in Korea Airlines airplane, I was pretty shock because their stewardess or cabin crews are specking with 3 languages – English, Korean and Malay. It’s because Korea Airlines was join venture with Malaysia Airlines and some of cabin crews in Korea Airlines are from Malaysia Airlines too. Their also take attention with Muslim customers in airplane when their passing the meal to Muslim customers. Their separate meal on broad (MOB) between halal meals and non-halal meals so for Muslim tourist, so you guys don’t so worries about halal meals on broad by Korea Airlines. Travels by flight to Incheon International Airport from Kuala Lumpur International are 6 hours 35 minutes.
