Planning for our next overseas holiday in Seoul.

(Above) The two faces of South Korea - Classic and modernity

It's been a while since our last trip to Japan and hopefully, we can find time during this coming June to splurge on a trip to South Korea. Initially, we were thinking about going to Europe but since we are more keen on Asian food and of course shopping, we decided to opt for South Korea first. We have to admit our current addiction to Korean cable TV and dramas has played an influential role in our travel plans.

Hope that our bosses will release us for this June so we are keeping our fingers crossed. Right now, we are researching on our itinerary for our 9 day stay in Seoul.Would love to stay longer but work beckons so may not have that long a leave approved.

We will focus our travel on Seoul since given the limited 9days, we felt we should just focus on our interests instead of diluting our experience and trying to cover everything but achieving nothing and tire ourselves out. So we are skipping the usual places of Busan and Jeju Island.

A good site to read up about travelling in South Korea is the Korea Sparkling website :
