What you did in Jeju Island?

Jeju Island has been designated by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organizations as a world natural heritage site. Every year, about 130 million tourists visited Jeju Island. Last week, I also traveled to Jeju Island for three days and was surprised because the island looked very similar with my expectation. Jeju Island has a beautiful natural landscape, provides various and exciting activities – taking a submarine and riding a horse. After this journey, I totally understand why millions of people visit Jeju Island as a vacation.

Jeju Island is the largest island near the coast of the Korean peninsula. The island contains the natural world heritage site Jeju volcanic island and lava tubes.

I also visited and experienced various programs. Among my experiences, taking a submarine was the most impressive. At the second day of my trip, I took a submarine for the first time. My family reserved the submarine program and wrote the consent forms for our safety. After few minute, following the crew, we got on a big ferry not a submarine. I was surprised that I thought I took the wrong one because, before boarding, I did not know that passengers transfer to submarine from ferry on the ocean. I transferred to submarine successfully at near the little uninhabited island. The submarine submerged slowly under the water until depth of water reached 40 meters. It was darker under the water than the outside of ocean. Because of the darkness I was scared, but the beautiful site which consists of small fish and coral reef relieve my mind. The most beautiful site was wrecked ship. Although it completely rust, looked gloomy even looked like a house for ghosts, it became house for tens of fish and other ocean lives perfectly. Because I am afraid of ocean, I had no chance to see sea lives closely under the water. Thus, this submarine experience at Jeju Island becomes so precious, wonderful and unforgettable memory to …show more content…
However, there are few exercises – expensive, rare and difficult - which I really want to experiences. One of them is riding a horse. To ride a horse is too expensive and rare to do it in everyday life. Before the trip, riding a horse in Jeju Island is the priority plan during the trip. At the first day of the trip, my family visited the largest horse farm in Korea to participate in horse riding course. This farm has over 30 million square meters. My family and I applied 30 minutes course which people can look around the Hallasan Mountain and beaches. At first, I was scared because the seat was moving. But after 5 minutes I gained confidence, rode the horse and run without manager. Thought the weather was cloudy and the view was not clear, riding a horse was wonderful experience. If I have a chance to learn riding a horse, I would learn it diligently. The only one flaw was back pain which often arise to beginners. The experience of riding horse, the feeling of horse’s hair and the view of the farm will not be forgotten

    These Hawaiian Islands have been inhabited for centuries before the first ships sailed across the Pacific. Hawaiian Islands have been shrouded in mystery since their history had been passed along vocally for centuries. Hawaiian culture hasn’t changed drastically ever since they inhabited the islands, until European and American explorers discovered the islands. This pair interested me the most because both nations have two completely different identities, but the Hawaiian Islands later become part of the United States. These nations have completely different history, religion, clothing, culture, and many more.…

    I’ve realized in my lifetime that saddling a horse that you are going to ride is not as natural of an act to other people as it is to me. Since the moment I had both the strength and height to lift my own tiny saddle up to the back of my animal, I was saddling by myself. These days in the time that I set aside to ride, I don’t even think about the act of saddling, I could almost finish the act blindfolded. In my realization that not all people know how to saddle a horse and if they have an idea it may not be the proper way, I decided to share my knowledge in this area with others.…
