jeju

An island of nature,
Where strong winds blow away all sorrow,
Where huge lumps of rock tell its history.

An island full of women,
Who suffered as many husbands died while fishing in the stormy seas,
Proving themselves to be the stronger sex as sole breadwinners.

A dead island used to imprison exiles,
But now a major tourist site
Thanks to the lovely Korean dramas which brought it to life.
