Visiting Korea was never on my mind. But my good friend Muni whom I first met in 1981 when I joined the civil service suggested we should. Muni is hooked on Korean dramas so she said we must see Korea at least once in a lifetime. So we did with Reliance Travel from the 12th till the 18th of September.
It was a full 7 days of touring that started with landing in Seoul and seeing some sights before we hopped on another plane to Jeju Island. Jeju is a must when visiting Korea as its picturesque with sights of beautiful beaches to mountains. The seafood is great and you can visit the seas where women dive to harvest abalones and oysters. The various galleries and aquaria adds a beautiful touch to Jeju.
From Jeju we went on to visit Pyeonchang , Nami Island home of Winter Sonata, Mt Sorak and we did various activities from making kimchi to cottage cheese to trying out the hanbok. Seoul is a huge vibrant city and very clean and organised. They are famous for their street food and skin products.
It is said that its easy to be a Korean wife and mum as you make kimchi and preserve it and it is served as a dish alongside every meal as a vege with soups and barbequed meats. Well the Korean Barbeque is a must and is a really awesome experience.
