I haven't bought any tangerines since I came here in Jeju but we always have at home. We received them as presents that sometimes you can even received from someone that you've just met for the first time. I think most Jeju residents have tangerines at home. These tangerines are sweet and juicy.



Tangerines that have just picked from the tree. I picked them in the school where we always go to play badminton. They are just cute and big so I picked them. They are stolen tangerines. Psssttt...
