Destination 》Asia 》East Asia 》South Korea
Year Visited: 2014 – May-June
I visited South Korea while living and working in Shanghai. It was a short five days trip, so we made Seoul our base and travelled around the country.
South Korea, an East Asian nation on the southern half of the Korean Peninsula, shares one of the world’s most heavily militarized borders with North Korea. It’s equally known for its green, hilly countryside dotted with cherry trees and centuries-old Buddhist temples, plus its coastal fishing villages, sub-tropical islands and high-tech cities such as Seoul, the capital.
South Korea is incredibly easy to get around, buses always leave on time, the trains are really cheap and metros are super clean, most signs in are in English as well as Korean, you can do entire trip using nothing but its immaculate, efficient public transport. One advise to my friends from USA, like in Japan, tipping is not practiced in South Korea. In fact, it can cause discomfort and confusion if you tip.
South Korea offers lot to explore and experience, I do hope to return back and explore more places in South Korea. Click on any cities below to view my travel photos and stories.
After five days of exploring South Korea, it was time to go back to Shanghai, my home at the time.
