#1  Me: So it has tomato and.... Jasmine: OMG! say it again! toh-MAH-to ! You're hilarious! Erik : Do you say po-tah-to too? Me: No. #2 "So what do you speak at home?" "English" "So everyone in Malaysia speaks English?" "Uhm not really...it depends" "Oh, so English is like your first language?" "Yea!" "Oh that makes sense. You use a lot of elaborate words" "Uhm thanks" #3 "I need to get some prawns" "What is that?" "Prrr--awwwns" "Never heard of them" "Shrimp?" "OH!! What did you call it again?" "Prawns" "Prawns! That's funny!" #4 "So where did you live before you moved here?" "Malaysia. I just got here in January" "Oh that's cool. So where did you live before you got to Chicago?" "Malaysia" "So you never lived in the States before?!" This was a very Regina George-Cad

Udo is a quaint island that's a short ferry-ride away from Jeju.  Is it worth the trip? Yes. And here's why. #1 It's really pretty!  And I know I've said this like 20 times when I talk about Jeju - because it's true! I love looking at blue waters, especially in nice breezy weather. I could really stare at it all day :) It's not just the water or the sky. It's the nice contrast of rocks and this serenity that follows.  Having another K-drama moment. #2 It isn't as small as you might think! You would need a day here! Although it is an island and you'd probably just expect to see water, there are also different parts of the island which have different very different charms. Some parts are hilly, some parts are rocky, some parts are grassy and of course, there are beaches!   P.s. buses are available on the island, so it's convenient to get around! #3 Food! We had Hallasan fried rice!  Which is something you have to try. It's not just fried rice,
