(Jeju travel Mr.Dee) Three musketeers from Singapore


Her name is Mary Rachel who is from Singapore. As long as I remember she was one of my clients 4 years ago. And then few months ago I got a mail from her. U
pon getting a mail from her I was little surprised  because I could hardly remember who she is. Well, Then recalling all the clients I had then, I can vaguely remember them because they were quite loud women group. Anyway I was glad to hear from her. Thanks for remembering me. 

​The mail says that she wants to visit to Jeju island with her friends because she missed spring in Jeju that was so beautiful that time. Well...Spring of Jeju island? Yes, Cherry blossoms and yellow flowers are harmonized in spring time in Jeju island, I prefer fall though. Anyway blossoming of all kind of flowers is one of the quality for visitors at Jeju. 

They finally arrived in Jeju and started a tour. Upon arriving of them, I hunched that they are crazy about taking photos. Meeting diverse people from all over the world makes me good opportunities to exchange the knowledge of each countries. According to their saying Singapore was parted from Malaysia in 1965 and started from a poor fishery village and has become a well off metropolitan country. I had talked a lot about politics, economy, and cultures. We had very interesting conversation while North and South Koreas are trying to reconcile. 

During a conversation one thins I got impressed that they don't mind even though their country is a dictatorship. Well, as long as they have enough freedom, they seem not care about their politics much. I don't know if it's a good sign or not. However, there are different things between Korea and Singapore. In Korea General Park had led the country with a gun meanwhile Lee Quan Yu a leader of Singapore had led the country with a broom. Both countries have achieved economical development but the evaluation of each leaders are different from their own people. 

Anyway, my clients love flowers in Jeju island. I didn't realized flowers in Jeju are that much beautiful, so pretty even to me. There was a photographer named Keo Mason who is an excellent photo maker. Later she sent me some photos which are like magic work. During 4 days we had visited most of good places as well as my hidden places. They endlessly pressed a camera shutter such as they likely to put all scenery of Jeju island in their camera.

As I am very interested in South Asian culture these day I learn lot of things from my clients. That is one of the merits in my job as a tour guide. And I like to have a tour with people who love taking pictures because they seem to know how to see beauty of things.
