|
Hi, friends!
I would like to introduce Je-ju Island, where I have stayed last one month, a new seven wonders of nature. The island is home to both polar and tropical animals. It is home to 77 types of mammal, 198 species of bird, 8 kinds each of reptiles and amphibians, 873 types of insect and 74 varieties of spider. The island has recorded a total of 2,001 types of vertically distributed sub-tropical and polar vegetation. The temperatures are rarely drop below zero degrees. It is the Korea's largest volcanic island with more than 90 percent of its total area covered with basalt. The island boasts magnificent views, and is also famous for wind and horses. The local government is doing its best to preserve the nature and limit the development which may harm the eco-system. The Pictures(top to bottom order): 1. View from Sub-ji-ko-ji, UNESCO natural heritage site 2. The roads are well managed, the trees are well groomed and preserved to welcome the drivers. 3. Jeju Island is famous for horses and ranches.(guest appearance, my little sister) 4. Eastern sea shore of Jeju island 5.Hyup-Je Beach 6. Song-Ak mountain and beach. The beach has artificial caves made by Japanese army durint the world war2 to do the suicidal attacks 7. Gum-neong Beach 8.

Hi,friends. It's been a long while. I'm back..
I was away to London, U.K., and Je-ju Island...and also prior to that I have been doing some inner searching myself..
Always hats off to you to your great endeavor for saving earth.
Spending time at Je-ju Island, and reading the new book from Dan Brown got me most thinking.
People know the perils of future by their current doing but most people have no will to control so they just do what they have been doing which will bring eventual disaster to humankind..
One conscious act today will save the future of our mankind..
