Yellow Sea
Nepal being a landlock country I had never seen sea except in movies and television. The trip to Jaebu and Daebu Islands has been a memorable one. For the first time I saw Yellow sea with my bare eyes.
It takes about 2 hours from Seoul to Jaebu Island. We left Seoul at 3pm and had to wait for an extra hour before reaching the Island. Jaebu Island is connected to the main land with a motorable road that is submereged in water most of the time. The road is clear only at certain intervals. In the picture you can see the submerged road with Jaebu Island in the background.
Thanks to WisEngine for the invitation. We spent the night at Yangji Motel. The Island is filled with motels and seafood restaurants. Naturally we had seafood for dinner. Live shrimps were put in utensils filled with salt and place infront of us. As we waited for the shrips to cook people started drinking and enjoying the evening. The dinner ended with home made noodles with sea shells. That night we watched 2 English movies.
The next day after breakfast we roamed around the Island and headed for a nearby Deabu Island. The place was filled with local tourists enjoying their weekend. Had some korean food at a restaurant and Mr. TG Lik of WisEngine drove us back to Seoul.
Have captured the moments with my Olympus digicam.
