"Korea: Land of the Morning Calm" South Korea by D_Shannon
South Korea Travel Guide: 6,380 reviews and 17,032 photos
Moving to Korea was the hardest, most challenging, and scariest thing I've ever done. It's also been the most rewarding.
"I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world"
- Mary Ann Radmacker-Hershey
Koreans are kind people and are fascinated by "waygooks" (foreigners). Seoul is as cosmopolitan a city as you'll find anywhere, with McDonald's and Pizza Hut on every other corner, but parts less travelled in Korea offer travellers the best glimpse into this fascinating country.
To keep things manageable, I've had to do some splitting. For general information on traveling in Korea, like cities to go to, festivals not to miss, and cultural dos and don'ts, this is the page to be on. For specific information about my travels throughout the country, please see my Seoul, Daejeon, Daegu, Soraksan, Kwangju, Cheju, Hongdo and Mokpo pages.
