We rushed over early in the morning to grab a bite, even passing up some delicious bread, only to find that the restaurant we planned to visit wasn't open yet. A wave of disappointment washed over me, but seeing the utterly dejected faces of my travel companions, I knew I had to find somewhere else fast. Otherwise, I was going to hear every possible variation of "I'm hungry." So we hastily searched and ended up at Anggre Guksu, which turned out to be an absolute hit.

After happily finishing a bowl of gogi-guksu (pork noodle soup), we took a walk around the Jeju World Cup Stadium right next door. I had never actually been inside a soccer stadium in my life, but looking in from afar, it seemed like watching a game in person would be way more fun than on TV. A lot of soccer players and students were doing physical training, and the sight blended in perfectly with the stadium.

Wide green grass field and spectator seats spread out behind a seating area guide sign. — I should really watch a soccer game sometime.

You can see inside the soccer field, and the surrounding area is beautifully landscaped with trees, making it a great place for a post-meal stroll. Plus, there's a track laid out around it so it's easy on the knees; you can even spot people who don't usually run happily jogging along.
