I was on Jeju Island for a week about a week ago. Jeju is a volcanic island and official province of Korea which resides off of the southern coast. Because of its natural geology, most stone used on the island is volcanic rock. You dont notice it at first but when you do it's literally everywhere. Every building with exposed rock, the curbs, you name it. I like the black porous stone, it adds a dark exotic shadow that tells you that you are absolutely not in continental Korea.
In Jeju the air is crisp and with an undeniable bouquet courtesy of the sea. It has green palm trees, black and white sand beaches, and a skyline in technicolour.
Obsidian ridges leave soft gouges around Jeju.
