Seoul may be one of the most underrated cities in Asia. The city is very modern, with a highly developed transportation system and international cuisine and shopping. Seoul has also done a good job preserving it's culture heritage, with several of the old city gates and places well preserved and blending in nicely with the surrounding city. There is a well developed nightlife as well, although Seoul is beginning to struggle with a 'national alchoholism' that has it's root in mandatory social drinking related to business.

Seoul covers both sides of the Han river, and there are great places to visit on both sides of the river. On the north side of the river is Namsan Mountain with the Seoul Tower as well as Itaewon and "downtown" Seoul with it's many palaces and markets. South of the river are Apujeung, Jamsil and Gangnam; up and coming areas with great shopping and nightlife.

The metro system in Seoul is very easy to use and is a great option for travelling all over the city. Traffic can be very bad, especially dueing rush hours, so driving and taxis can be a hassle.

From Seoul, tours can easily be arranged to many of Korea's natural beauty and more traditional countryside. The De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) marking the current border with North Korea is a common tourist destination as well.

Seoul is a great jumping off point for travels around North East Asia. International flights all over the world leave from Seouls Incheon airport.

I have accomplished everything I wanted to have accomplished, and yet I still feel unready and unsteady. If you'd have asked me two weeks ago even, I probably would have said, "Yes, I'm ready.

People i met here, who contributed to and improved my trip: Engin (Turkey), Joon (South Korea) Unfortunately my flight from Jeju-do arrived into Incheon airport, so i was still left with a fair distance to reach Insadong. I checked with the airport information desk about the new subway line that i heard had been built and was pleased to hear that i could catch this to Gimpo Airport and from here take the normal metro all the way to the station nearest to Beewon Guesthouse. What surprised me ...

A unique dining experience in the backways of Seoul

I arrived at Incheon around 7pm and took one of those organized buses into the city. I had just spent the last two weeks traveling through China and I was a little burnt by this point, so I hadn't done any homework beforehand. I realized I had no clue where I was being taken. I randomly picked a youth hostel from my rough guide and showed the driver. Just to illustrate how courteous the Korean people are, the driver, who didn't know where my hostel was, pulled the bus over to take a better lo...

DMZ tour to check out the infamous area between Noth and South Korea. Checked out the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel dug by N. Korea into Seoul about... errr ..15 or so years ago. I hiked down and up the 30 degree 3rd Infiltration Tunnel in my 3-inch heels. I was one of the first 5 who came up first and my heels were intact! Ha! Beat that!
