25 Sep - Day 3: The Mysterious Road - Dakkaebidoro 神秘之路，济州

Here, we experience the phenomenon of going uphill with the vehicle engine turned off! Haha....

In this clip, the bus had stopped its engine... and the bus moved on its own... By the way, notice there were lots of stones on along the rock side? Jeju is famous for its stones that's formed as a result of the volcanic eruption long long ago. Indeed, these stones are not 100% solid.



There, we saw people pouring water and rolling bottles to demonstrate the strange phenomenon. Well, well... scientifically, there isn't any 'strange' phenomenon. In fact, it's a result of "illusion" created by the environment... that a downhill slope seemingly had gone uphill. Well, it's just a road.



According to Annie, the locals indeed added some mysterious elements to this entire phenomenon (ha! so have selling point, you see?) that this part of the road was guarded by some mischievous spirits. There, not far from the road, we can see statues of the spirits! haha...



In fact, another attraction (that was not written in the travel guide) was snacks! hahaha... Bought a bartwheat bun, a comb of corn and a deep fried "hotdog" stick (ie. hotdog coated with flour). Oh yes, had been deprived from fried food for more than 24 hours! Oh yes, the sight excited the mind, but my tastebuds told me, "It's so-so....". Oh! Korean snacks...
