SeaBong Restaurant

After a long day travailing the Olle Trail of Seogwipo, Jeju – we decided it was time for a great meal! We earned those calories! 🤣 We were checking out restaurants in the vicinity and came across a well-recommended SeaBong Restaurant.

G2 Hotel Myeongdong 🛏

When the university warned us all returning faculty to China would have to undergo 14 days of isolation with out the chance to go get food (‘vegetables will be provided’) — our ‘vacation’ in Korea was promptly extended 😂

We already posted our less than lovely abode in Myeongdong at the Merlin Hotel, so pretty clear we wanted to find a new, slightly MORE lovely abode if we were gonna be staying another month. Not living with permanent back pain from torture was our ambitious, but hopeful quest. 😎

While looking for our next erm. . . economy? 🤔 dirt cheap? . . . destination, we stopped by the G2 Hotel Myeongdong for a night out. We were filtering results by ‘bed review’ and these popped up:

‘The bed was great’ . . . We were hooked! 😍🥰🥳

What We Were Looking For: Good Value for the Money, Short Stay, Nice Bed! We really wanted something in the area with a decent bed, good breakfast, and potential laundry options.

Conclusion: 😊 (4 out of 5 stars)

Stumbled on this neat little second-story coffee shop by the folk village stop. Directions ⛱️ You can take several buses from Jeju International Airport (I recommend using KakaoMap in English). Bus 121 is … Continue reading Kkatte Coffee – Jeju Island

Myeongdong Merlin Hotel 🛏

When planning our upcoming trip to Seoul, we recently decided to stay at the Myeongdong Merlin Hotel near Chungmuro Station.

What We Were Looking For: Low Cost, Good Value, Suitable for 2 weeks. We really wanted a washer for laundry and a kitchenette so we could stay healthy and save money on meals.

Conclusion: ☹ (2 out of 5 stars)
