It's 설� Seonnal, the Lunar New Year (uh, in the US it's "Chinese New Year"), which means three days off work (except two of those happen to be over the weekend, so I only get Monday off). To celebrate, I booked a flight to � �주도 Jejudo (or just "Jeju" to us non-Koreans). Thankfully, I booked months in advance as the flights were full.

Once in Jeju, I got a rental car and drove to the southern side of the island, to the city of 서귀포 Seogwipo. In Masan, there had been no snow all winter and so I was surprised to see snow in Jeju, though it was actually only on the northern half of the island, north of 한라산 Hallasan, the central mountain of Jeju.

I actually had a difficult time finding my hotel in Seogwipo. Expedia gave me the wrong address and Google also put the hotel name in the wrong place. I wandered the city center looking for it, but finally just hired a taxi to get me there in the end. Perhaps booking a hotel online on my own in Korea was not the smartest move...
