A close friend recently rented a house on Jeju Island for an extended period and invited the reporter to visit. Upon arrival, a stunning rainbow arced across the island's sky, from the airport to a seaside cafe. The host greeted the visitor with a warm smile, playfully referring to the reporter as "the woman who brought the rainbow."
Driving along the scenic coastal road, the pair stopped at charming beach cafes to savor local delicacies such as wild abalone seaweed soup. Jeju Island is renowned for its "gotjawal," ancient lava forests, and "oreum," picturesque volcanic cones. Just an hour's flight from Seoul, the island exudes a tranquil, tropical ambiance.
The reporter pondered the reason behind the friend's prolonged stay on the island. The answer became clear when she learned that the friend's college-aged son, who had traveled extensively to places like New York, Florida, Hawaii, Tokyo, and Kyoto, required a cultural adjustment. Upon returning, he experienced a profound cultural shock and sought a place where he could breathe freely and immerse himself in beautiful nature. Consequently, the mother opted for Jeju Island, maintaining her base in Seoul.
