Seoul

Dear Friends
the time quickly passed and was already time to leave the enchanting Jeju. Still few minutes for saying goodby to its beauties from the air and Seoul already announced through the clouds. Similar to Pusan at first glance (see the images), but certaily different in many aspects, this drived the discovery.

Goindol

Dear Friends
what a relaxing way to deep Ethnology (not to be confused with Ethology and Oenology) knowledge was  Jeju Folk Village. Many production devices, visions and music pieces (see the images) of rural and maritime old Korea displayed themselves. But, strangely, for unknown reasons, I was brought in front of one of the about 40,000 Korean Goindols (Dolmens). This for remainding that Korea hosts the larger number of dolmens in the world and that the dolmen culture and the associated Mother Goddess religion probably born there.

Manjanggul

Dear Friends
continuing with the Jeju wonders, Manjanggul, one of the most important Lava tube in the world opened its doors, letting itself be known. Kilometers long, it attracted me by its giant and micro incredible structures rich in shape and colours (see the images)

Swastika

Dear Friends
time to leave Deung Gyeong but a real, clockwise Swastika, not to be confused with the real, counterclockwise Sauwastika on a side of a small temple suggested me to spend there still few minutes. Not  associated at all with Nazism and Antisemitism but rather with prosperity, prolificity and good luck, it was associated with the prosperous Chinese monk Budai  not to be confused with Buddha (see the images). Comments are welcomed.
