South Korea Travel and Tourism Guide

South Korea, the land of the morning calm... and the mad rush to get to your English class. The land of soju, the noraebang, PC-bang, DVD-bang, and any other bang you can think of.

The modern metropolis of Seoul is reputedly the third most populated city on the planet, and the constant hustle and bustle never gives you respite from a crowd. Neon signs, lunatics on the road, and 24-hour Chinese deliveries via moped along the footpath. Seoul is busy.

But in amongst the craziness of the city is the tranquility of mountains. Easily accessible within the city and even more on the outskirts.

History is everywhere. The structures such as Namdaemun from the 14th Century present a culture that has thrived for an eternity; all nestled amongst the modern.

This is the Republic of Korea... a country of contrast.
