Meeting more Mr Kims: CoolstuffKorea on Cheju Island

Jennifer Barclay, LKL contributor and author of Meeting Mr Kim, has landed herself a dream assignment for the Korean Tourism Organisation: tweet about Korea, travel round Korea, write about Korea on Facebook, generally do things we’d all like to be doing, and maybe earn a little bit of pocket money as well. Nice one, Jen. We’re hoping Jennifer will be doing a little piece for LKL about her travels as well.

In the meanwhile, visit her Facebook page, where she’s been uploading photos of her travels. Most recently, she’s been down in Cheju Island, getting to meet some of the famous diving women and walking the scenic coastal paths called “Olle”. While there, she also scored some UNESCO points, visiting the World Heritage accredited lava tubes. I’ve always wondered what these things look like, and now thanks to Jen I have some idea. Dark:
