New7Wonders! Jeju Island

Wow! New7Wonders made an announcement and Jeju Island was selected as the one of the new 7 wonders!!! I mean really WOW. I knew visiting Jeju Island was one of the most memorable trip, but I didn't expect them to win the new 7 wonders. Note, Jeju Island being the most memorable trip means a lot because my dad always wants to travel somewhere; he can't stay home. So out of numerous places, being the most memorable place means a lot. Even still, winning the new 7 wonders means a LOT.

Jeju Island has a very nice sea view
Jeju Island probably is not famous for beaches. Malaysia, India and etc has better ones, I bet. However, I did find the sea view of Jeju Island really beautiful. Its not a beach, but composed of rocky surfaces. The water is clean, but very very dark blue. When you look at the waves, it makes you feel empty. Somewhat peaceful, despite the loud wave constantly throwing themselves to the rock cliff.

Jeju Island has one of the freshest sea food
I'm sure few of you know that fish taste better in cold water. Well, at least I believe cold water makes fish taste better. Jeju has a cold water current going through it, so Jeju island offers amazing fish cuisine. If your visiting Jeju-do, you should try eating hae(aka sashimi).

Its not just fish that taste good. Jeju island also offer a variety of treasures of the sea. Clams, crabs, octopus and etc. Jeju is a home of the hae nyos "해녀" which means sea women. They dive the sea and find fresh sea goodies. They slice it and the fish goodies are eaten raw. May sound disgusting, but what nature offers us, is purely delicious.

Jeju Island has a lot of horses 
I can't really comment about this. I lack knowledge. But I do know that Jeju has a lot of horses. And they have famous horse meat, which I have not tried. It is pretty common to see horses on the field.

Jeju Island has a mountain 
This mountain is actually a volcano. Thats why we see a lot of dark stones in Jeju. (I kind of like the dark stones, I find them pretty). The main mountain in Jeju is called Halla mountain. Apparently, it has all 4 seasons. But, I can't confirm this because I went during the winter. I honestly think its a lie..... But, for now, it is said to have all 4 seasons. Well, plants from all 4 seasons can be found. Its pretty amazing.


Jeju Island has a lot of history and culture
I assume this is the main reason that made Jeju island distinguishable to other places. I mean with just natural beauty Jeju isn't as appealing compared to other candidates, but truly how Jeju is merges humanity with nature is beautiful. I feels like your living in a very fresh environment. Moreover, Korean residents produce art, agricultural product and etc. Going to Jeju can bring a lot of learning experience of the history of the people of Jeju residents.

I love Jeju do. I probably am bias, because I love 회 hae. Able to eat good hae probably made me love Jeju do. I can't wait to eat hae there again.

Again, congrats!
