#Route4 #Haenyeo #GeeseInFormation #CuteCafesHouse


This 19Km route has path built next to the Haenyeo workplace. You can literately see them in action.

The trail itself may not be that scenic but the actions along the path are really unique. But do bear in mind, you may or may not see it. These actions are not tailored for you, like a show. Celebrate and be thankful if you managed to see them in full action, let it go if you miss it. The schedules are built around their daily life, please respect that. 

#HaenyeoInAction #Amazing

We are fortunate to see them in action and captured that in video. It is something that deeply inked into my memory and will not be forgotten in my life time.  Click and watch the whole video. Is definitely something that worth your time. Due to size restriction, resolution has to be reduced but you still get to see the actions.


#GeesesInFormation #SeeItLive

I read and watch in documentary on geese V formation and how they create an aero-dynamic advantage, reducing resistance and allowing them to fly longer distance with less energy.

So blessed to see them in action. First to see them landed, rest and take a break by the coast. Took off shortly after and form a V formation and proceed onwards. Amazing!



#Coastal #StreetArt 

Beautiful coastal view continued, coupled with streets art and pretty stones houses.





#MoreCafes

For someone that love cafes, Jeju is a heaven to us. Everywhere we chanced upon instagram worthy cafes. Really spoiled for choice and a feast to the eyes.




#MoreTangerines #TanginerinesFarm #SuperFriendlyGrower

After the mid point station, as we trek on, more tangerine plantations greeted us. Bought a bag of fruits from a self service kiosk based on honest system. Was invited to the farm with many fruit trees and get the best pictures captured. Special thanks to the friendly host. Once again we run into wonderful people.




#MoreCafes #FoodTime #LetsTakeABreak #BestSaltedBread

We decided to take a break at a beautiful cafe along the coast. As usual, simply love it. The salted bread is so so good.

Spotted more cute cafes along the way but we just admired with our eyes as we are still full for more food. The bears cafe are just too cute to ignore though.



#HaenyeoSellingTheirCatch #MarketByTheCoast

Trek along and we chanced upon an open air, by the coast, seafood market. Do not understand a single word but from their actions, it was definitely buying and selling of the catch of the day in action. Someone will point to some seafood, they were weighed, packed and be gone after. This site was just beside a Haenyeo house.




#MoreFood #ColdNoodle

Nothing beats having a bowl of cold noodle in a hot day. Took another break and enjoyed our cold noodle in a cosy kiosk. 



This place was unplanned. We just saw a signage and decided to detour a bit and give it a try. Great find. The cha soba was spot on. Turned out the owner was trained in Japan on soba making and can speak a bit of English. We had such a great time chatting and was even given a bag of Tangerines to take away! Great people once again. 

Shortly after, we came to end of the route. Here came the familiar ganse. The pony-shaped blue sculpture. Chopping time. We started to enjoy this process.


#RouteInfo

Attached the pin for route 4 course, the start and end point (CW) on kakao map that we used. We find them essential for managing the trek, hence attached here. Use at own risk. Please do your own study before the trek.

#WrappedUp #TimeToFeast

Our accommodation is just walking distance from the ganse for route 4. As usual, is time to feast again.  This evening, we decided to try local Sashimi fish just 3 mins walk from our hotel. Walked into an all Koreans eatery once again and be surprised.

How do we ordered the food? Just point to the next table and take some risk.




Our verdict. The fish/cut was not as refined as the classic Japanese sashimi that we are familiar with. But the sauce, the rice and the side dishes to go with the wrap was so good. Something uniquely Korean.  Glad we have decided to try it.

Our Eco Lodge

By urban farmer -

The Rational #whydothis The first step towards sustainability is really about acquiring less.  We seek to reuse as much as we can, whatever that is already onsite. Recycle and reuse required lots of planning and coordination on the planner/builder part. The person needs to really think out of the box too. It is always easier and less work to just outsource, pay someone to just bulldoze the whole place, throw away all the old,  acquire new and restart. But let’s walk the talk. Being eco friendly starts from OWN. Do the little thing right. This lodge that we have built uses at least 80% of recycled materials. Things that are brand new are mostly for structural building, due to safety concerns.  Sharing Our Thoughts These are some  up-cycling  little tricks we did. We will expand and add the details for each item Monthly.  Stay tune! #Infrastructure #lookgoodpart  #Plantingessentials #usuallyneglectedpart Tricks #1: Recycled bottles as support for gutter...

We came, however with 3 objectives in mind, to explore the Nunobiki herbs garden, explore the Kobe city on foot and finally to have a taste of the kobe beef.  This article focus mainly on the edibles. From Osaka, take a train to Sannomiya Station in Kobe. The journey is about 1hr. There are clear signages leading to the garden. Take the rope ride all the way up to the top station, No. 5 on map, explore and trek downwards is what typically recommended to visitors. #HerbsKiosk #AtTheTop #PrettyView Upon alighting, you will be greeted with beautiful garden of herbs kiosks as well as stunning view of the surrounding.

Japan Kansai & Kanto Regions Note: The views in this blog is purely the impression and views of the author, Wan Ying. Others views may varies. No part of the write-ups from this site can be reused in any way without written permission from the blog writer. The first trip to be documented for this travelblog series is for Japan! This is the itinerary.  15 days total. We did more R&R at the start due to some last min planning challenges. This typically will be after all the heavy lifting. Conclusion, we still prefer R&R at the end. Next round, we will stick to that. These are the areas we visited this round. We landed in Tokyo Narita airport. Visited Chiba prefecture for the eco run & cultural exchange ( part 1). Next, travel by bullet train to Osaka. Be a tourist at Osaka and kobe (Part 2) went on to trek in Nara prefecture (Part 3). Finished off our tour in Kyoto then back home through Narita airport. **beautiful japan region picture from https://www.kyuhoshi.c...
