Musings

We visited Nami Island in 2006 during our honeymoon. As we were not consumers of K-dramas at all then, we couldn’t quite appreciate the significance of the island, particularly that it was the filming location of the hugely popular Korean

We had our first of four day trips out of Seoul on Day 10, and this trip today included three places in Gangwon Province. That we were on the road for almost six hours in all is an illustration of

We’ve enjoyed pretty good weather in the first six days of our vacation in South Korea, the cold weather notwithstanding: it’s been reasonably sunny throughout and we’ve gotten very usable pictures in such good lighting. Day 07 today finally saw

For most tourists with just a couple of days to spend in the town, the key places to visit would be the Suncheon Bay National Garden, the Wetland Reserve, and the Nagan Eupseong Folk Village. There are about a dozen

We’d spent five nights in Busan and relocated to our next city, Suncheon, on Day 06 morning. In retrospect, we could have allocated a few more days in Busan to explore other places in this very modern city, but five
