Jeju Island:The wonder of nature (Part-1)

Travelling is the best way of learning and knowing anything, it presents the traveler practical experience as well as refreshment to them. We have visited so many places in our country for these purposes. From our university we have got a great opportunity to visit the Jeju island the world famous tourist places all over the world because of its beauty gifted by the nature and for other reasons.
Beginning of the journey:
We all gathered together in front of the graduation office before 5:30 am on 24th June. We were around 40 travelers. We started at 6 am to cheonju International Airport. At 7:30 am we reached the Airport and completed all the formalities before entering the plane. At 8:30am the plane flew to Jeju international Airport. After 45 minutes we reached the Jeju International Airport. At the airport our tourist Guide was waiting for us. She took us in the bus and we went to a restaurant at first.

Finishing the breakfast our bus started again. We were surprised to see the natural scenery of this island. Within few minutes we reached a sea shore. We got down from the bus and visited that place for around 1 hour. We enjoyed the sea standing by the sea.  From there we went to Jeju National Museum. After visiting the museum we went to visit the International Peace Centre. We were surprised to see the various Statues of various world famous and honorable persons most of whom have sacrificed their valuable time to establish the peace for the world. There are also some statues of the most honorable persons of the Korea and other person who have done something for the development of this Nation.

We ate very delicious food at our lunch after leaving the IPC. Finishing lunch we went to sea beach. Here we were surprised to see an ancient Ship Hamel. This is the name of a brave sailor who had landed Jeju Island before going to India. He had loved this island and stayed here for thirteen years. During that time, this Dutch sailor wrote many things about this island and published his writing after going back his country. The most cryptic thing is the architectural construction of his ship. That has also made me surprise that the organization of Korea has preserved this in such a way that there is no damage of this ship still present. From this ship we have come to know the life style of the sailors who were in this ship during that time. Though the ship is very cryptic to us the natural site of the sea was not bearing less importance. Nature has given a lot to this island. So this Island is the gift of nature and has bloomed as a famous natural place all over the world.

We have forgotten to mention one place before going to jeju National museum. We can’t remember the name of the place but it has its own specialty. We know that anything can move from upper level to lower level without exerting any force. But here it is totally opposite. Here the vesicles move from lower level to higher level without exerting any force. Yet the scientists of physics have not got any explanation of this reason.


What ever it is, at 7PM we went to our hotel. There we took our dinner and finishing dinner we went to room for taking rest.

First event for WSK 4th batch

The boy is the champion blogger of WSK-3 and the girl is the member of WSK-4
The date was marked on the calender just after getting invitation from the organizer. Even though it is really tough to manage time for me like a PhD research student in a week days but I was trying to manage all to attend on the 1st event.

After 2 weeks the date came, I just slept earlier than usual to catch the earliest bus for Seoul from Chungju city bus terminal. The morning was really cold as like as winter morning but  windy like a rainy season. I drove to Chungju bus terminal from my home which took less than 10 minutes. But the problem has raised due to closed the gate of LOTTE mart, where I planned to park my car. I just stayed there 5 minutes to get any response from any one to open the gate. But unfortunately nothing happened from any one. I just moved to search any place beside rood to park my car. By the mean time one bus has left from the terminal..... Fortunately, I got a place beside a branch road where I found some car parked. I just ran away to get the bus just after parking over there.

I get a bus for Dong Seoul (East Seoul) which took one hour and 50 minutes to arrive there. I ride the sub way from gangbeon to reach our venue. But, unfortunately I arrived there lately just after speech from organizer. I became charmed just after entering into the hall. What a moment was that!!! It just like a globe where the people gathered from whole over the world. I am one of them. I must cordially thanks to the people who assist just like a bossom friends to get the food and beverage and guide to know the exciting and historical information during tour around the museum.


Just before entering into the museum hall, I met with Mr. Mostafa who is a f Bangladesh Civil Service officer, came to Korea for his one year training. He is just a nice man who belongs great capability to make other enjoyable at any moments by his jolly mind.

A lot of snaps were captured from the museum, those are the national treasure of Korea.

I had a seat with the guys who were from Indonesia. They informed me about their couture and believes and life in Korea. 

The kids were looking so happy due to having picture with the famous guys!!
The time has overred very fast and rapidly. We did not get much time to capture some more snaps. I hoped to pass some more moments over there but.........

The time will come to us to meet again soon. We will make a bond with each other to bind the world in a one circle.
