One of the best island in the world can not only be found here in the Philippines but also in Korea. Since I am a fan of some Korean celebrities, I also love Koreanovelas especially the romance/comedy genre. If these celebrities wants to get away from it all, from the everyday stress of work, the pressure of upcoming movies or they just want to simply take a rest and breath a little bit of fresh air, Jeju Island is the best place to relax and unwind. Jeju island is located in the southwest of the Korean Peninsula and it is also a volcanic island that is oval shape-like that measures 73km from west to east, and 31 km from north to south. It's not only the celebrities who loves to get away in Jeju Island but also business tycoons and and even just the normal people who wants to experience the allure of Jeju.
Jejudo Island is sometimes called as "Samdado Island" it means the "three many" because of the rocks, women and wind that they are abundant with. Being surrounded with the ocean means having a wind that blows steadily and the past volcanic activities brought and scattered an assortment of beautiful and unusually-shaped black rocks. I once saw in one of the TV shows in Korea stating why they have so many women in the Island. The main character was asked on how is she gonna present or describe Jeju Island to the whole world in one word. Without hesitations she answered that Jejudo Island can be compared to a "Mother". She explained that when most men were lost at sea, the women became responsible for their own families and diving became the primary means of income for the village. Women would go diving to collect shellfish, and edible seaweeds so that by the end of the day, they could provide food for their children. I was really moved by her answer, because it also shows how important women were and it's not only the men who are capable to bring a large part of the family's income.
If given the opportunity to visit Korea, I would definitely stop by the Jejudo island to experience everything that the island has to offer. I would never miss the chance on checking the modern cocoon house, which is a luxurious condominium that has an outdoor pool overlooking the sea, kitchen and living areas, a conference zone, a small library and a rooftop garden that has customized outdoor fabricated trees. The most unique feature is the "cocoon" structure in the middle of the house which is a great space for a living room.
