Wow. Very beautiful island. Who knew there was a "Hawaii of South Korea"?

I'm so excited you got there! Do the bus drivers still have assistants with white gloves? And at the stops, vendors come onboard selling various items. Happy memories!

What year would this be? I think that’d make sense for the vendors at the smaller bus routes though! (maybe not coming on board as everyone’s gotten in a big hurry these days). I need to explore more of the island - what spots would you recommend? I’m really liking Seogwipo. A real hidden gem! 🤫

Oh, I didn't want to give the impression I've been to Cheju do personally, just alot on the Korean rural bus system as it existed forty years ago! I had a monk friend who was born and bred on Cheju do and he talked about Halla-san, but outside of my own research, that's all I know!
