We finally got back to Seoul from Jeju and landed at Gimpo Airport which is the best way to get there from here on a domestic flight as Jeju Island is a part of South Korea, the nation state. Overcast more or less in Seoul with cooler weather because we are now one hour by jet north of Jeju Island.
We returned our rental car to the Jeju Airport Rental Car agency and hopped on board our place back to Seoul, South Korea.
Also, I had soup called (If you speak Korean please bear with me) Sam get Tang which is a traditional whole chicken in a bowl of soup stuffed with Ginseng, rice and fruit. You eat this with metal chopsticks here and with a stainless steel large spoon. You sort of use the chopsticks like knives pulling the whole stuffed chicken apart. So the whole chicken is sitting in soup with Onions, ginseng and other vegetables stuffed with rice and fruit like raisins and stuff like that. IT is probably my favorite Korean dish I have eaten so far. You sit down on the floor on a pad with either your legs under the table on a pad or cross legged (as you prefer according to your health and age). I found at age 66 putting my legs straight out under the table with my back to the wall was the most comfortable to eat this way. 20 years ago I would have been happy to sit cross legged but not as much at age 66.
