Jeju

While I was in Korea I went to Jeju. Jeju is the only subtropical island in Korea. There are nice beaches and beautiful mountain Halla san. The beaches were crowded in the way only Asian beaches are, there seems to be  just a huge area of nothing but umbrellas and people watching then the water is crowded like a wave pool at a water park. Still its been a while since I went to the beach so it was nice. Jeju is famouse for its grandfather statues and they are everywhere.

We went to a famous waterfall but in reality it was kind of lame. You couldn't swim so it was kind of just not worth paying to see.
The best part for me was climbing mount Halla. It was a really pretty climb to the top. Also, Halla is the tallest mountain in South Korea.
