Our Experiences: We were very impressed with this country. Seoul is a bustling modern capital with the best traffic infrastructure ever. After the recent FIFA World Cup and Olympic games, the city has upgraded all transports means including a new airport ( One of the world´s best). Not to mention the Korea super-fast developing companies are now surpassing the Americans in many consumer´s electronic technology. Amazing! We have visited many nice temples and archeological sites around Seoul. We also went to the Imjingal Park, from where we could look at North Korea and get to know better about their recent history. We hope these people, separated by an endless political and ideological fight, can get together again soon.
Hotels we love and recommend: Marriott ( Seoul)
