After an amazing year working & meeting new friends in New Zealand, it was time to start travelling this amazing country. The plan was to start in the South Island, head North & to make my way back home to the UK through Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, South Korea, China & unplanned Taiwan.

South Korea in the autumm is colorful and inspiring for the soul, especially admiring the mountains, gardens, temples and palaces. The capital city Seoul seems to be proud of its achivements, good transportation network, tall buildings and interesting attractions. However, the most memorable moments are the peaceful buddhist temples, the National Parks, spicy food (kimchi) and historical monuments in Chengju. A must visit destination in Asia.
