Cheetos in Korea vs. Cheetos in USA

Cheetos! I like this snack.

However!! When I came to the USA and bought and ate Cheetos, I was quite disappointed. It was too salty!!! WHY are all the US snack so so so SALTY??

But, now I think I got used to the saltiness of Cheetos of USA, so I can sometimes eat it and actually quite enjoy it.

1. USA Cheetos

My favorite one is  Cheetos Puffs. It is quite soft, and it is not that salty as other kinds.



There are several kinds.

Jalapeno! Sounds hot!

A basic one, I guess. 

Twisted one. I have never seen this before.

It looks too red. I don't like snacks with too much artifical colors.

It looks like a limited version. I have never seen it.



I bought this yesterday, and I am writing this post eating this. The red bag.

I have never seen this before, either. I wonder how giant the balls are. lol.

I have never seen it.



XXTRA Flaming hot? I don't want it. 


How come I have never seen this Asterolds version? Do they sell now?


Let's check out Korean Cheetos.

2. Korean Cheetos

The main two popular Cheetos are these two kinds.


 The red bag is Barbecue Flavor, and the black bag is hot Flavor. I like both, and hot flavor is not that hot, just to let you know. :) They are not salty like American ones.

I think this kind is fairly new because I have never had it. It is Grilled Onions flavor.

This seems very new, too. I have never had it. It is Sweet Chili flavor. 

There are Mini Cheetos. It is a small amount, and the purple bag is Hot Sauce Flavor, and blue bag is Bulgogi Flavor.
Hot Sauce Flavor

Bulgogi Flavor


If I have to choose one over the other, I will choose Korean Cheetos. They are less salty and yummy! :)

I hope you enjoyed this post. Thank you!

Jeju Island Trip 3 (Dragon Head Rock, U-do) - Places to visit in Jeju Island, South Korea

The next day,  we decided to go to U-do which is a very pretty small island right next to Jeju Island. You need to get on a big boat to go there.

On the way to the port to go to U-do, we stopped by Dragon Head Rock.

Does it look like a dragon head?


Dol-harubang is a symbol of Jeju Island.


Hi!!!






We were almost near the port, but we saw one guy with two horses, and we had to rid the horse before we went to U-do. It was extremely beautiful right next to Sungsan Sunrise Peak.


The flat peak behind us is famous Sunrise peak. People go there to see the sun rise.


We will never forget this moment.


We got on a boat and went to U-do. Your car can get on a boat, too. You just drive to the boat and then when you get to U-do, you just drive out of the boat!

U-do!!!! Look at the beach and the sky!

Just amazing!!!

Yuri imitating Mommy!



One!

Ah!!!




We had lunch right next to the beach.

Grandma and Yuri love each other so much!

We went to U-do peak.


The place was just breath-taking.
Really Be-autiful!!!!!

We went to a smaller island called Biyangdo right next to U-do. It is connected by a bridge, so we could just drive there.

A cute little beach at Biyangdo.





There was a chair called Sunrise Wish Achievement Chair, so we sat there and put some little pebbles on top of the chair. (Korean people pile pebbles on a sacred place when they make wishes.) Look at Yuri praying!

We came back to U-do and met another beach.





Sea-woman Statue.


Touching Mermaid's breast. ;)



We came back to Jeju-Island and went to Black Sand beach at night. Obviously, it was hard to tell if the sand was black or not. :)



It was a short trip, but my mom, Yuri, and I all had a very good time together. We will never be able to forget these precious moments. I love my mom and my baby so much! (Of course, I love my dad! I am sorry that he could be with us. I hope he gets well so that we all can travel again!)




I love my country!!!
