Videos have been popping up online recently of a viral trend where schoolchildren in South Korea are singing along to iKON's hit single "Love Scenario".The song itself has been a sensation in South Korea, breaking records and remaining in the streaming charts since release.

Starting our 2nd Tour with a Breakfast at Ramada Hamdeok Jeju Hotel.First stop, Korean Ginseng Museum! No taking of photos and video recording inside. You got to learn the history, different kinds, uses and all about Korean Ginseng was there. Its proven that Korean people has strong beliefs by the power of ginseng. It heals, re-energize, very helpful, they really give importance to it. From medicine, drinks to cosmetics ginseng can be used. They gave us a ginseng tea and ginseng candy with honey which is really sweet that you wouldn't taste the ginseng on it. Its tasty and healthy too.Next, we visited the "World Automobile Museum" perfect for car/auto lovers lots of vintage cars. You can see many different models from late 50's up to the present #rollsroyce #ferrari #bmw #lamborghini and many more loving the #sportscar. You can ride on some cars and take photos, they also have themed cafe inside and a souvenir shop. By the entrance of the museum they have deers that you can feed also.Moments in Canola Field! Jeju is the first part in Korea to experience Spring so early of March these canola flowers were already in full bloom. This was taken in front of ICC Jeju.  Beautiful isn't it? Next stop is one of my favorite and really a-must-to-go when visiting Jeju Island. "Oedeolgae" I have seen at "Daejangguem" or Jewel in the palace (korean drama). I also saw photos of it on the web and it was just "Oh okay! that's it! I wanna go there If I would be given an opportunity" but seriously when I got there and see it in front of my two eyes "DAEBAK!!!" awesome!!! It was really a great beauty! The rock formation, the color of the ocean water, waves, the island on the background, and the surprising History or specifically love story of a couple behind those rock formations was really touching!!! I wanna bring my family, friends there when I have the chance to visit Jeju again. I am so lucky that I was able to visit Oedeolgae!Next is one of the famous waterfalls in Jeju, "CheonJiYeon" means "sky connected with land,"...A 10 to 15 minutes walk before reaching the Cheonjiyeon Waterfalls.. A nice path towards it where you can see souvenir shops, pretty flowers and trees, you'll hear a water falling from afar. A very refreshing ambience. From the parking lot, you'll see street food shops, also cosmetics shop and many more.Got to watch a non-verbal korean show. A Taekwondo Performance, they're really good! It was a great experience rather, despite of thinking it would be boring but NO! I really enjoyed the show, didn't get sleepy watching but laughing, clapping, cheering most of the time and when it ended I really wanted more! They have amazing taekwondo skills, also in dancing and acting, even the ladies. My reaction was like watching a K-pop idols performing I was really amazed by them. No photo taking and video recording allowed while the show is running, I was so happy when at the near end when they will say goodbyes and bowing they gave us a chance for us to take photos. Glad I have remembrance.Ending the day with having a Mackerel Soup & Fried Mackerel for Dinner before we go back to our Hotel.Summary of our 2nd day itinerary in Jeju:Breakfast at Ramada Hamdeok Jeju Hotel Korean Ginseng Museum World Automobile Museum Canola Flowers Lunch Buffet at ICC Jeju Oedeolgae Cheonjiyeon Waterfalls Lotte Hotel Jeju Duty Free Taekwondo Performance Dinner Mackerel Soup & Fried Back to Hotel
