On Monday we woke up around 6:00 found some breakfast than caught a 9:00 flight to Jeju island. It was about a 45 minute flight and routine as flights go. We caught a cab to the Sunshine Hotel where for a extra $20 you could get an ocean view room. It was very gusty when we go there but we didn't know that anything was going on weather wise. The hotel was very nice with amazing views and where glad we spent the extra $20 for the ocean view room. Once we were settled we went shopping in an area recommended by the front desk. And oh my do they ever love their clothes and shoes and stores in general. Shopping as far as the eye could see. It was really stuff meant for the locals none of the real touristy stuff we were looking for so we decided to try the subway to find our way back to the hotel when behold to our surprise it was a whole underground shopping center! It kept going and going, we actually go sick of walking around and found our way out. We caught a cab back to the hotel where the weather was looking worse and worse. We asked the front desk about it and they either played dumb with us or truely didn't understand us. But my mom went for a walk and ran into a guy who worked for the Coast Guard and could speak english and he told her there was a really bad storm coming and it was a typhoon. Needless to say we found a flight out that night at 8:15. It was an hour flight and we slept the entire way. It was a planes trains and automobile day for us! The tourist girl at the airport helped us find a hotel for the night we slept great. More later, Jess
