These are some of the islands on the southern end of S. Korea.

Interesting combination of clustered, high-rise housing & farmland.

This is Myeongdong Kyoja Main Restaurant. Nothing fancy!

Flight back to Seoul; Seoul nightlife

Travel day: time to return to Seoul.
It's only a 50 min flight, & you can start seeing the southern coast of South Korea after ~20 miles of air travel. The coast has a number of waterways & islands.
When we arrived, we had lunch at Myeongdong Kyoja Main Restaurant. It's a Michelin restaurant known for their homemade noodles (in a chicken-ish broth) and their dumplings.
