"Island of the Gods"

One moment which marked a great point in my life was Jeju island Trip, when I was 12 years old. It was a very special trip because it was the first time of my life to take a flight. Also, my parents are two-career couple, we didn't have many opportunity to take a long trip.
Jeju island was much more amazing than I ever had imagined. Its’ oranges were so great. Coming to think of it, I had eatten about 50 oranges during the 7 days. I was like an orange-holic at that time.
In contrast to the rainy sky in Daegu(my hometown), it was freshing clear in Jeju island's. Jeju has many tourists's destinations. Expecially I remember Mt. Halla , Seogwipo, Yeomiji botanical gardens and Cheonjeyeon waterfall. Mt. Halla is the highest mountain in my country(South Korea). It is visible everywhere in Jeju. The weather was warm and there were lots of beautiful flowers even though it was still Winter. Especially, Seong-San Sunrise peak was so fantastic. This is also the place where photography of my favorite TV drama "My name is Sam Sun Kim" was taken.
Everything was perfect for us.
