Jeju Island is abundant with women and other beauty...read more...

The place I have visited that I particularly like is Jeju. It is a small Island located to the south of Korea.

Jeju Island is famous about three things – wind, rocks and the considerable number of women. It is windy because of its geography and rocky because it used to be an active volcano. The reason why there are plenty of women is that the men who lived on this island were called up to enlist as soldiers in wars. As a result, the people remained on the island have mainly been women.

I like Jeju due to the simple life and nice weather there. I visited Jeju with a friend a year ago. The guesthouse we stayed at is very close to the coast. There are lots of residents living in that area. They live in tiny little houses and have their own farm. There pace of life of those people is slower, too. Furthermore, the weather in Jeju is typically tropical. Usually, it is breezy, sunny and warm. It will be much more suitable for people who are not fond of the freezing cold, like me.
