Ed and Soraya explain how Hallasan, the tallest mountain in South Korea, shapes everything from road networks to weather patterns (pro tip: if it&#8217;s raining on one side of the island, drive to the other). They also cover the best seasons to visit, why cherry blossom chasers should start in Jeju and head north, and what visitors remember most: the calming natural beauty, the resilience of the haenyeo divers, and yes, the tangerines.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a422cbc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a422cbc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1996e49 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1996e49\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Jeju was once an independent kingdom called Tamna (\ud0d0\ub77c)\u2014that&#8217;s why its dialect, culture, and traditions differ significantly from mainland Korea<\/li><li>Hallasan (1,947m) dominates the island: it affects road routes, creates different weather on the north vs. south sides, and holds deep cultural significance<\/li><li>Best seasons: Spring (late March\u2013May) for cherry blossoms and mild weather;

So nowadays, South Korea become kind of popular, right? Because of like K-pop, K-drama, K-pop Demon Hunters. So South Korea is a beautiful country located in East Asia, near Japan, China. And the size is roughly similar to Portugal in Europe. So it&#8217;s quite a small the population here is 52 million in a very small country. So now&#8230; I can talk about Jeju a little bit. So for Jeju, it&#8217;s the largest island of South Korea. The size is similar to like the Maui in Hawaii. From east to west, it&#8217;s around 73 kilometer. And from the north to south, it&#8217;s around 31 kilometer. So it sounds quite small, right? we have a big mountain in the center, the highest, tallest mountain in Korea. And then you might think, then why Jeju is so special? Why is it so unique compared to like mainland South Korea? First of all, in Jeju, we have different historical backgrounds. maybe have you heard of Joseon dynasty, Korea dynasty, like three kingdoms period?<\/span><\/p><p><b>Ed (02:38)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, anyone who has, Netflix probably knows about the Joseon dynasty.

So Korea dynasty, yes, correct. So from Korea dynasty, we start doing trade with Arabia and then they start calling Goryeo as Korea because they could not pronounce Goryeo anyway. So that&#8217;s why we become Korea until now. So before Goryeo dynasty, Jeju was an independent kingdom called Tamna So we had our own culture, different kind of language, different stuff compared to the mainland. So we still have these kind of like unique culture in Jeju. And also the other thing, as I mentioned, the language is quite different. So actually I moved to Jeju like three years ago. Still, I&#8217;m learning the Jeju dialect. But when I go to the market, talk to the grandma, grandpa, sometimes they talk to me in Jeju dialect. And it&#8217;s kind of hard to understand because the grammar and many vocabularies are different. Also in Jeju we have different culture like the haenyeo, woman diver. If you had watched it, When Life Gives You Tangerines, maybe you might have seen those kind of woman So that&#8217;s the unique culture of Jeju. And also we have like very strong shamanism We also have different kind of like economic activity in Jeju. Of course now Jeju is known for beautiful nature. So now we have lots of tourism in Jeju Island and also lots of tangerine.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Soraya (05:01)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And of course, the natural landscape because Jeju was formated by the volcanic eruption.

And it&#8217;s like. One of the many reasons why I love Jeju is like it really reminds me of Hawaii where I spent a lot of time as a younger person and so yeah, you talked about the volcanic rocks and the mountains and the hills it&#8217;s like it there are some parts of Jeju that really really looks like Hawaii and so it&#8217;s like if I&#8217;m not paying attention sometimes I can I forget that oh, this is not Hawaii. This is Jeju. I think we should really talk about the biggest and most impressive one, the most dominant feature of Jeju. The one feature that if you&#8217;re on a ferry on the sea, you can see Jeju long before you arrive in Jeju. that&#8217;s Hallasan, which sits right in the middle of the island. Let&#8217;s go ahead and talk about Hallasan a bit more.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Soraya (06:21)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, so Hallasan is the tallest mountain in South Korea. It&#8217;s 1,947 meters above the sea. It doesn&#8217;t sound very tall, but when you try to climbing up to the top, it is. You&#8217;ve done that. You know how hard it was. The volcano, it&#8217;s not active now. Good, luckily. So it&#8217;s a dormant volcano. And the last eruption was like 1,000 years<\/span><\/p><p><b>Ed (06:51)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yep. it also dominates Jeju culture and history. and even down to like, I was looking at a map of, Jeju and like,<\/span><\/p><p><b>Ed (07:08)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the roads networks, like nothing cuts right through the middle. Well, for obvious reasons, there&#8217;s a big old mountain right in the middle.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Ed (07:15)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">yeah, and so not only is Hallasan influences the way the roads work and the history and the creation myths, it also affects the weather on the island. as a person who lives on Jeju, can you tell us a little bit more about that?<\/span><\/p><p><b>Soraya (07:33)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You&#8217;ve heard that the weather in Jeju changes every second. I&#8217;m living in the northern part of the island. And sometimes in the north, it&#8217;s raining, cloudy. But when I go through the road from the north to the south, Like middle parts of the mountain. Then you&#8217;re see actually the weather, the clouds is moving and then the weather changing. So even if it&#8217;s raining in the north, south can be very sunny.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Soraya (08:03)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the winter still, like in Seogwipo it&#8217;s a lot milder weather. It&#8217;s not too cold. We never get minus something in Celsius. but the wind, because this is the island of the wind, so it can get really, really cold.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Ed (08:23)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that&#8217;s Hallasan. It&#8217;s a big old mountain that helped create the island and it still dominates everything about the island. The weather, it dominates the history, the stories that people still tell, it dominates the road network. And so coming to Jeju, you got to really think about Hallasan for practical things like how to drive from one place to another. And it also dictates just because one place is raining, you could actually go to another part of island and you&#8217;ll be just fine. The weather changes very quickly, like you said. So all these are very valuable ideas to hold in your head, and to be flexible when you plan your travel. So that&#8217;s Hallasan.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-9493\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"4\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-9493\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Healing Nature, Haenyeo &amp; Tangerines <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-9493\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1e2a7b3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1e2a7b3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e557169 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e557169\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Ed (09:08)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So Sora, can you tell us about what is it about Jeju that your visitors remember long after they&#8217;ve gone home?<\/span><\/p><p><b>Soraya (09:18)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think the first thing is the beautiful scenery and in some way, I&#8217;m not sure why, but some people I see they got healed by the nature.

So I think&#8230;<\/span><\/p><p><b>Ed (10:04)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I don&#8217;t want to give up on my macho-ness, but I&#8217;ve definitely teared up a few times. Well, hiking, hiking, hik&#8230; Well, the first one was the first time I climbed up Songsan Ilchubong. And then another one was at Hallasan.

But when you, I don&#8217;t know, it&#8217;s very hard to explain. You have to come and see and then feel those like calming energy that Jeju gives to you. think the second&#8230; So after I do the inbound tour, sometimes we do like interview for everyone like what was the most memorable memory for you during Jeju and many of them told me that the resilience of the woman diver, Haenyeo. So they got&#8230; inspired a lot from the woman, like for the hard working, for the resilience of their, lifestyle. And the other thing people remember is I think tangerine. Because like especially if you come to Jeju during November, December, you&#8217;re to see beautiful like tangerine farms everywhere. And it&#8217;s really delicious.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Ed (12:23)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I can just imagine people in the US or in Western, in Canada, or even Mexico going like, well, we&#8217;ve got Mandarin oranges here.

But if you come for just for the nature, then the best season, I would say it&#8217;s spring and fall, autumn. So when I say spring, it&#8217;s from.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Soraya (14:06)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at the end of March until May. Because you know the cherry blossom, it&#8217;s going to start from at the end of March until like at beginning of April. So that&#8217;s the best season to enjoy the cherry blossom and the good weather. Not too cold, not too hot. And for the autumn, from like at the end of September until November. And you can also see the autumn leaves fall everywhere in Hallasan, Jeju Island. So for summer and winter, winter, think also it has the charm for the tangerine and then like snowy mountain. It&#8217;s beautiful, but it&#8217;s cold as we say that this is the island of the wind. So sometimes the wind&#8230;<\/span><\/p><p><b>Soraya (15:04)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wind can get like 30 km per hour so it can blow everything away so and for summer it&#8217;s still good to go for swimming but it can get really really hot and humid right<\/span><\/p><p><b>Ed (15:12)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right.

I have not actually been there in the summer and I left before the real winter arrived, but definitely I&#8217;ve hit it up in the spring and the fall and both were beautiful seasons. One thing that was a little bit annoying was that when I got to Jeju in the spring, I was like, oh,<\/span><\/p><p><b>Ed (15:54)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okay, let&#8217;s get me some cherry blossoms and it was already done.

Because southern part is more warm. So we got spring first. So usually the cherry blossoms started from Chechu at the end of the March.

So if you want to follow the cherry blossom you should start from the Jeju and Busan and then Seoul at the end.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Ed (17:01)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So start from the south and head north, not start from the north and head south like I did. Okay. Right. And these cherry blossoms, like they stay on for like a few days only, right? Like, like five, six days a week. Okay. Okay. Gotcha. Gotcha.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Soraya (17:11)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a week. Yeah, a week. But the thing is, if it&#8217;s raining, bye-bye. raining, also the wind, right? Wind and raining, yes.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Ed (17:31)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oh, wind. A win. Yes, the wind. Yes, and Jeju is the island of wind, so&#8230; Yeah. Gotcha, gotcha.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Soraya (17:40)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ween. Yeah and actually we have another kind of cherry blossom, double cherry blossom. Have you heard that? Because there&#8217;s like similar flower, it blooms after the cherry blossom and we call it double cherry blossom. if you could, I mean, if you didn&#8217;t see the cherry blossom and wait for a little bit, then you&#8217;re to see like different kind of flower blooms.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Ed (18:17)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that was a look at Jeju for the next episode, we&#8217;re going to talk about touristy places that we think everybody should go.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Soraya (18:22)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mm-hmm.

We call it Handy Korean with Sora Ssaem (\uc324)!<\/span><\/p><p><b>Ed (19:13)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And there she is again clapping for herself. so Sora, what are we going to share with our audience today?<\/span><\/p><p><b>Soraya (19:21)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So today is the most useful phrase that you can use during trip in Korea which is \uc8fc\uc138\uc694 meaning please give me so you can just put the thing you want and then \uc8fc\uc138\uc694 so it&#8217;s like please or por favor so if you want if you want an americano coffee then you just say americano \uc8fc\uc138\uc694 or latte \uc8fc\uc138\uc694<\/span><\/p><p><b>Ed (19:52)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ice cream, please.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Soraya (19:54)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right, right. Just put the thing you want and then choose.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Ed (19:58)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gotcha. That sounds easy. So it is not exactly like please, right? Like in English, can just add please to something, but in this context, the ju part actually means give. So it&#8217;s like, then it&#8217;s like, please give.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Ed (20:16)<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And so again, the examples that we talked about today were Americano, please. Latte, please. Ice cream, please.
