Seoul Travel Guide: 2,998 reviews and 7,303 photos
Seoul is the capital of Korea with over 600 years of history. It is the heart of Korea’s culture and education as well as politics and economics. We have seen a group of people demostrating in downtown Seoul even at night.
Seoul is unique in that historical sites such as Gyeongbokgung Palace and Folk Museum which has modern cultural facilities coexist in harmony.
I followed some of the Korean Dramas and love them alot.
Winter Sonata, My Sassy Girl, Full House, Jewel in the Palace are some of the popular ones.

Great tips Jen. I am thinking of making Seoul my next destination.
Great tips and nice pics. And that chicken soup looks delicious! Thanks for sharing. Tips will come in handy for planned Seoul trip. Greetings from Sweden!
Ginseng Chicken soup !! Must be delicious - greetz
Ni Yin Gai Qu Beijing Lu Xing: Yi Ge Hen You Yi Se De Di Fang. Thank you for visiting my Beijing page. I had a great time there. I would move there in a snap: there are many quiet areas for such a large city.
Thanks for dropping by my Taipei pages, a bit different, but I like to suprise with different tips. Nice picture of you on the Seoul intro page...I hope to complete my Seoul pages too one day. Let me know when u update or build new pages. Take care.Tim
Glad you enjoyed Seoul! But you look so cold in the outdoor pictures!
Great tips Jen... unusual to you with so much clothing... that doen't sound right does it? I meant extra warm clothing ;~)
I loved kimchi & Korean Seaweed is the best, but the rest of the food was so-so. :)
Now this is what i call a virtually mouth-watering page! Dimitri.../
Very comprehensive page Jen. I must visit Asia any time!
