I went to Kanwon-do or the "East Sea" for the weekend. The buses were fairly cheap but they fill up quickly, so you may want to book ahead. The beach was beautiful and the water is much more clear compared to the west coast of Korea. Finding a place to stay on the weekend is easy as there are a ton ...

Located in northern Seoul, Gyeongbokgung is the main and largest Palace of the Joseon dynasty. Like some of the Korean monuments it was burnt down by the Japanese during one of their invasions in the 16th century and demolished in the 19th century when they came back again.

When you go, be sure to stop by the Tourist Information stand near the Samcheok Express Bus Terminal. Tell the lady you are going to the caves. (Both are near each other and it's the same bus.) She will give you a small sheet of paper with the bus schedule in English. This isn't so important for goi...
