SEOUL,
SOUTH KOREA
MARCH/APRIL, 2017
Having a few extra days off from school we headed north east to the dynamic city of Seoul.
A mix of ultra modern and historic, green parks and walking paths, trendy shopping centres and ancient temples, always something to see and do, the city has a very livable feel. Despite the ever present threat from the North the South Koreans are very friendly and welcoming. The local cuisine is varied and delicious. Definite destination for further adventures.
