Jeju Island to Tokyo

We spent our last morning in Korea touring Jeju Island.  Unfortunately, it was a miserable day; cloudy and rain with virtually no visibility. The island is dotted with small to medium sized volcanic mountains, but we couldn't see them very clearly.

Due to the significant tourism to the island, it is full of "museums" of various sorts. They range from the Chocolate Museum to the Museum of Health and Sex. You can speculate on which one we visited! None of them reaches the standards of the world's great, but they get a lot of traffic.

The island also has a number of Buddhist Temples which are very pretty.

Look carefully at Buddha's faces; they're all the same!

There are a number of different Buddha statues in the temple. They are dressed differently which is to differentiate what issue they deal with. One is for health, one for finding a wife/husband, etc. Although each statue looks very different, the Buddha's all have the same face!

After visiting the temple, Art and I said our goodbye's to John. It has been a great trip, but I think we're all ready to head home.

While there was much, wide-ranging conversation during the trip, you'll be surprised to learn that the subject that drew the most attention wasn't golf. The subject that my colleagues were most fascinated by was........

A TOILET!!!

This baby, which was in EVERY hotel we stayed at, not only has a heated seat. It fires water at you from the front and the rear (no pun intended) and one of them even had a fan to dry you!!! This is real proof that the human species is evolving.

Thus ends our 2014 World 100 Asia Golf Trip.

It was fantastic fun with great companions.  98 pegs are in my Top 100 Board with only Ballyneal and Sand Hills to go!

Sayonara from Tokyo!
