If there’s anyone of you wanting to book some cheap flights from Seoul to Jeju Island, you can do so on:

1. Jeju Air - www.jejuair.net
2. Hansung Airlines - www.gohansung.com

Note that both websites are in Korean and I am unable to find any English translations. Also note that both airlines flies from Gimpo Airport to Jeju International. Only Hansung flies from Cheongju Airport to Jeju International.

To get from Incheon Airport to Gimpo Airport, you have a choice of bus or train.  Both takes about the same time (40 mins) unless the traffic slows the bus down.

Good luck in your quest. I’m taking out my Korean dictionary

If you have not already known, Greek’s Rhodes is an island with a very rich history.  It’s old city of Rhodes is today’s World Heritage Site; you don’t get a lot of cities being declared heritage sites.  Today, Rhodes is bustling with international tourists, who is enjoying her offerings; sunny gravel beaches for a sun tan, Filerimos Hills for medieval chapel/monastery, Kamiros for ancient ruins, Valley of the Butterflies for moth viewing and many other attractions.  Travelling to and hotels in Rhodes are relatively cheap (according to WikiTravel) which may be the reason for flocking tourists.

In the past, the Colossus of Rhodes stood at a towering 30 meters, making it the tallest statue in the world at that time. The statue was built after the Greek god Helios by the Rhodians to celebrate their victory over a city siege.  The Colossus of Rhodes was made of marble, iron and bronze.  It stood tall for 54 years until it was destroyed by an earthquake in 226BC.

Just like the artist impression above, the Statue of Liberty is based roughly on what engineers imagined the Colossus of Rhodes to be.  It was also thought that the great statue was placed at the breakwater.  If the statue stood where it was today, I really wouldn’t mind taking a short break to fly in, check into one of the Rhodes hotels, take a boat, row right under the statue and look up.

Today, the Colossus of Rhodes is regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and an engineering marvel.  What’s left of the ancient Rhodian world is awaiting your visit to the Greek island.  To experience the Rhodian hospitality, fly to Greece and check yourself into a Rhodes accomodation either through a homestay programme or a simple bed & breakfast.

The infamous ladyboys of Bangkok; I got to meet them in one of my trips to Thailand. A few acquaintances told me to give them a skip and so did a couple of my relatives as there is nothing to see except men in girls clothes. But, I’ve been also told about their beauty which some girls would kill to have. My mind was made up, I’m going to meet them.

So, I booked a seat for a night’s performance at Calypso Cabaret through a local travel agent in Bangkok. It costs only 850 Baht which included an international buffet dinner. Calypso performs twice daily (8:15pm and 9:45pm) at Asia Hotel. To be frank, I enjoyed the show and the ladyboys performed very well indeed although they lip-synced to the songs and tunes.

The ladyboys are very pretty indeed and their bodies are something that most men would desire. At the end of the show, you will get a chance to meet them up close and even have a photo or two with your favourite performers. I have having a time of my life and enjoying the opportunity to have my picture taken; it was all rosy until she spoke.
