korea Free and easy (Jeju) : Haeyon, Sea woman

Performance

Cute little boy while we watching performance

getting ready and setting off

haenyo, literally meaning "sea women", are female divers in the Korean province of Jeju.

We managed to catch them in action after conquering sunrise peak. 

This was just at the foot of sunrise peak.

Is quite sad to see eldery dive into the water in this cold weather, around 12 degree.

They did a performance including some singing and dancing. 

Then they went into water and one of them managed to catch an octopus.

She offered it the audience but all of us were too scared to hold it.

korea Free and easy (Jeju) : Jeju Wet market

We wanted to visit a wet market.
At first, we wanted to visit Jeju Dongmun Traditional Market which was at the other end of Jeju as we were staying at Tae Gong Gak.
We consulted slyvia and she recommended this wet market 10 minutes away.
Interesting sights of the locals. and the food.

korea Free and easy (Jeju) : Dongmum traditional market, Jungang underground shopping, Iho beach, dragon head rock

We stay at Yeha on the first night. 

We tried a barbecued pork restaurant on the first night .

Before check out, we went to do some sightseeing via taxi.

Dragon head rock

Not really worth a visit because the only thing to see is the dragon head rock.

Comparing the different colour of the sand

Iho beach. We took a cab in but could not find any cab to bring us out.

We walked half an hour and some kind hearted koreans help us to call a cab.

We walked from Jeju Dongmun Traditional Market and Jeju Jungang Underground Shopping Center to the beach .

Jeju Dongmun Traditional Market.

We visited Jeju Jungang Underground Shopping Cente but we did not get anything.

The third party in a beary relationship. :(

I won't really recommend this place unless you really love bears.

I am not really into bears.

To me, some of the bears do look a bit dressing up in all kind of costumes

There are more interesting places in Jeju.
