Jeju: A Dream Comes True

If you ever read my previous posting last year. My wish had been granted. I went to Jeju less than a year I dreamed of it. I used to dream with a friend about Jeju but I think she didn't dare to take a risk going with me. Ha3x. I know sometimes i have to dream alone follow my heart and take whatever opportunity comes to me. I maybe very lucky when my brother are so supportive about it. He used to say do it now because you are not going to do it when you are getting older. When the opportunity came, I just said yes without too much thinking. Jeju is splendidly and mesmerizingly beautiful. I don't think words and pictures can fully describe it. We explore using rental car by ourselves.

 I couldn't find a mosque however i managed to go to small Islamic center in Jeju city. I t was a blessed to meet, chat and having dinner cooked by Prof K - a Korean Muslim. Listening to his story made me insaf how lucky I am.

 The most unbelievable thing I did in Jeju is hiking the famous Mount Halla. Never I dream to do it for all my life  (panjat bukit pun tak pernah). For those who used to mountain hiking it maybe easy but as for me there are many times while hiking I regret for doing it and just want to turn back. I didn't do any research about it. If I knew it takes about 4-5 hours to the peak i'll definitely won't do it from the start. Thank goodness I didn't do the research so i didn't know the situation and I did it thinking it was a really easy hiking. For a person like it wasn't easy at all. The Koreans were really helpful throughout the hiking, they gave me mineral water and words of support. At least doing something i never did I can tell others i  already hiked the mount halla  and got a certificate and medal. The rest of the story let me keep it to myself.

Here are some of the pictures of jeju
