Jeju, Memories Fragrant With Fresh Orange

Jeju Airport on the first day of the week smelled of orange. Fresh, yellow, orange boxes follow hundreds of tourists to leave the island one by one. It is not difficult to explain the passion for oranges in this volcanic land, if you have ever stood in the middle of an orange garden soaked in the morning sun, or took a bite of a sweet orange and heard the whole sky rise up a delightful joy. As for a traveler who is on a long journey like me, bringing back memories of fresh orange scent is a blessing. >> Guide to applying for a visa to Korea >> Neighborhoods eat the busiest night in Seoul >> Incheon weekend afternoon stalls selling oranges at DongmunJeju market pick me up on a light snowy morning

. As I pushed the wooden gate into my friend's old Korean house, I almost cried out in delight to see two fruitful oranges right next to the aisle. Under the gray early winter sky, fragile snowflakes perched on golden orange peels, falling into the beds of white radish, sound asleep on the ground. At that time, I don't know, the memories of Jeju will remain forever in me like the delicious oranges just picked down from the trees My friend said, the largest island in Korea is really the paradise of succulent orange trees.



Oranges are right under the eaves in the middle of the courtyard with brick walls, oranges swaying in the sun on the banks of a stone, oranges piled up on the stalls in Dongmun market are nearly 70 years old ... Past farms or when walking across an orange orchard that smells fresh is hard to put into words. Jeju's stone walls have no effect in preventing theft, but the oranges are still falling under no one to take. The author is buying oranges. In the midst of a warm temperate, volcanic soil rich in nutrients and the wind blowing in from the ocean are the two most precious things that nourish and crystallize Jeju's plump oranges: the sweetness, the gentle aroma wrapped inside the plump crust I have never been able to refuse invitations to buy oranges from women and sisters with a basket of bright yellow oranges.



The first night on the island, I went home when it was already low. The scent of the kitchen radiates before I can push the plywood door to see my two friends, two real Korean men busy by the pot of hot soup but always smiling when they see my sister. return. Sang Min held the pan in one hand, quickly stirred the Tteokbokki in one hand and said, "Come in quickly, it's cold, we're cooking dinner for you." I met these two brothers less than 12 hours earlier, through a free homestay. During the cozy winter dinner, Moon Ho - the other brother - asked where did I go today? I laughed and said I did not go anywhere, because on the way to the bus stop, I was engrossed in watching ...



some orange gardens are immersed in the afternoon. The two Korean boys laughed, "Yes, relax, and then I'll miss Jeju." Jeju's sweetness is still that: for a long time, this island has been considered as a couple's paradise. But for a solo backpacker girl in the middle of winter like me, the joy is when sitting in the sea breeze and tasting the fresh taste of the sea cucumber just caught, sipping a cup of hot tea at the top of Seongsan Ilchulbong, or sit by the black sand on Udo Island… and peel off a Jeju orange, hearing the fragrant scent rising in the scent of the early sun. These sounds and colors are like a translucent prism through which Jeju appears like a very tender dream. The canola flowers bloom at the foot of Sanbangsan Mountain. Now I forgot to pack a few or three chocolate oranges in my pocket, a chocolate that if you go to Jeju without eating it, you will lose half of the sweet feeling of the trip. Peaceful Jeju with clear beaches sparkling with the sun.



Leaning back on a white sand or sparkling black beach, gazing up at the lush blue sky and then taking a bite of sweet orange chocolate, there is no more joy. In this little corner of the globe, in the midst of this sudden moment, the ticking of the clock becomes meaningless. There will not be any oranges that give a sweet aftertaste like the oranges I have tasted. in Jeju. In the middle of the tea table at two o'clock in the morning of the last night on the island, the fresh oranges suddenly became special. My friend asked if it was sad to walk in the middle of Jeju alone, in the middle of this harsh and windy winter? I smiled and said no, because Jeju has become my little lover. A certain small piece of my soul has linger here, because every time I remember that "love", the smell of bright orange rises somewhere in the midst of sweet, fragrant memories. *** A bright sunny morning between In Saigon, I typed on the computer screen with just a simple sentence "Sang Min, I miss it!".



The Korean guy from the other side replied, "Yes, because it's Jeju." To Jeju Island: From Seoul, you can choose flights of airlines such as: Korean Air, Asiana Airlines ... or airlines. cheap price like Jeju Air, JinAir, Eastar Jet ...
