"Land of the Morning Calm..." South Korea by nepalgoods

South Korea Travel Guide: 7,677 reviews and 15,917 photos

.. and of nice people

I have been backpacking in South Korea almost two months in summer 1991. Seems to be, that I am always travelling during rainy season (see my Madagaskar travelogue).

South-Korea is a wonderful country. Easy to travel as it has a good bussystem and small pensions and hotels everywhere. But in the small villages nobody will speak English.

Last visit to South Korea: Dec 1990

I think you will find South Korea and especially Seoul different than you were last there. Didn't know about Unjusa but now I do! Nice opening photo.

Very interesting page! I liked the bit about the primitive guest houses being rented by the locals by the hour. This is a country I have never been to and I know little about so it was nice to find out more!

You've got Korea nailed! It's wonderful to revisit a tourist's perspective of the country - mine is now of a resident, and is on occasion jaded. Thanks for the refreshment!
