I got this freebie from flying home last week and my wife mentioned that we could cash in a free trip to Jeju do. I think January would be a terrible time to visit Jejudo. Wouldn't Malaysia or the Fiji Islands or the French Samoa be so much better?

Anyone know what Jeju is like in the winter?

friends of mine went to jeju for new years. said it was beautiful.

rural korea in the winter is beautiful regardless. do it.

Though you won't be swimming, not battling Korean tourists make the scenery wonderful.

I mean if it's free and the other choice is sitting at home watching re-runs of oprah, it might be ok.

But... GOD, go to SE Asia!!!

Jeju in the winter sucks. Its windy, cold, boring, and life-less. You can't even get near the beach due to the cold, humid wind. I can't think of anything you can do on Jeju in January you couldnt do in any other place in Korea.

It'd a bit cool... but you could try for a Hallasan snow hike. Other than that ummm you could go to the lava tube cave- boring but I thought the Kentucky Cave was boring too. But, yeah I'd choose a warm tropical island for the beach swim times as Jeju would be a tad cold to swim at.

[just because]

yeah...it is cold.

You go for the scenery but in winter it just isn't enjoyable...it is pretty windy and that wind isn't the warmest...

[whatever]

I was bored as hell living there last winter.

However, they still sell alcohol and operate casinos...so, party!

yeah jeju would be sweet in january if you enjoy sitting in hotel rooms and getting your frozen balls wind whipped
