from busan, i got on a ferry with ruadhri and went to the 2nd largest island in korea - geoje island. while we were on this island, we had really good luck.... the island was packed with people coz it is summer vacation season here... so many people go to this island for their vacation....despite how busy it was going to be, we didnt book any accommodation for the 2 nights we were going to be there... and also, i read in the lonely planet that there will be a local bus going around the island to take u to tourist attractions, but it didnt say that the bus only comes once an hour!!! and also there was so much traffic on the island with so many people... the island has one lane roads.... so the bus was like 20~30 minutes late as well....
as soon as we arrived on the island, we were lost at the wharf... we got in a cab to go to the general area that we wanted to.... and we got off at a beach halfway there.... we took some photos, then waited and waited for a bus.... eventually it came, and lucky for us, the bus took us to exactly where we wanted to go...
we wanted to get on a tourist ferry to see this 'cave' on water.... but the ferry was booked out for the day... while we were just about to buy a ticket for the next day, a guy came and cancelled his 2 tickets on the last ferry of the day... so we bought those and got on the last tour ferry....
we found accommodation on the hill looking out to sea, which was pretty awesome....
on the second day, we had to call for a cab to take us to the ship yard... and then we went to a quiet beach for a swim.... after the swim, we wanted to head into the city centre to stay there for the night... while we were waiting for a bus to take us to the city, a kind couple pulled up to me on the roadside and asked if i wanted a lift to the city...this couple had seen me and ruadhri on the tour ferry the day before, and also saw us at the beach.... and while they were driving into the city, they saw us again on the roadside waiting for a bus that even we werent sure when it would come.... so that was awesome~
that evening in the city, ruadhri and i went for a random walk thru the city... we didnt even know where we were walking, but i saw a stadium with a few lights on... so we walked towards there, and when we got in there, we saw a concert stage and people singing karaoke on the stage with tv cameras.... it was 10pm, and the stage was actually set for a korean chick dance group to come and sing at 4pm... but they were 6 hours late!!!
the stadium must have been full at 4pm, but by 10pm, people got sick and tired of waiting so 2/3 of the stadium had left.... ruadhri and i rocked up at 10pm... and the singers came 10.30-ish~ hahahaha.... i mean... they arent good singers or anything... but they are HOT~~~!!!awesome vacation~~ had good weather fortune, and good fortune on the whole~~ sweeeeet~~
