About Yeosu Ocean Rail Bike:
Visitors can enjoy a railbike ride along the coastline while enjoying the view of Yeosu's beautiful blue sea.
Reminisce about childhood as you ride along the beautiful ocean road and pass through tunnels. This thrilling rail-bike experience is guaranteed to refresh your mind and body.
The weather was soooo chilly >____<
I teamed up with Suzan, Fye and Kinna in same bike~
Hard to take any appropriate photo, because it's so windy and chilly *___*
Well, it was the best photo that I could took at the moment, LOL
We're entering the tunnels, and you can see those pretty decoration lamps! ^___^
So beautiful, aren't they?
After riding a rail bike, we had sight seeing of Yeosu Ocean scenery and took some photos (definitely, Muahahaha! :P )

6.20 PM - 8.00 PM (GMT +9): Dinner at Yeosu
Location: Yeosu Dolge 여수 돌게
Weather: still chilly... *brrrr
Main dish for tonight:
Ganjang Gejang 간장게장
Cleaned out crab marinated in soy sauce is a Korean style dish. Famous for its Ganjang Gejang try tasting the Yeosu's own Ganjang Gejang callen Bapdoduk (/ "Rice Thief". Bapdoduk refers to side dishes that you must eat lots of rice with for the best taste. By mixing rice with the eggs attached to the lid, you will taste the Bapdoduk's specialty.
Basically, these crabs are uncooked / raw '___'
they're marinated with soy sauce for a while to get the best taste.
This was my first experience to eat uncooked crab... Wonder how its taste...
My tour guides said that these Ganjang Gejang from Yeosu is the best, special dish from Korea.
I love crab, I separated them into pieces with my bare fingers :p
After tasted them.... they're good and delicious, but I'm not a raw-food person >____<
I couldn't finish the crabs and only ate seaweed soup and grilled fish instead.
I passed the crabs to KTO's staffs who are Koreans; and as Korean, they love Ganjang Gejang very much!
Took some photos after dinner, I saw Azalea flowers at random house near the restaurant XD
We also went to mini-market to buy some drinks, and I tried Ice Cream named Maerona 메로나 :p
My korean friends recommended it for me. It tastes so good!
Arrived at MVL Hotel, Yeosu
So tired and really want to sleep..┌("˘o˘)┐
Meeting my another comfy bedroom~ ♥
KTO's staffs were so kind! ^^ But why they prepared double beds instead of single bed? *___* ㅎㅎㅎ
Scenery from my room's window
Nice wide-screen LCD, watching random news channel TV (which I didn't understand LOL) after took a nice bath and ready to sleep! ^^
That's all~ I'm done with Day 3 ^^
Gonna post the rest of my trip later~
Thank you for reading everyone~
Hope you find that this post is informative enough :D
Until next time! Bye bye!
