10 PLACE TOP TO KOREA

South Korea’s capital city Seoul is a sprawling metropolis of 20 million people and with one of the most massive subway systems in the world. It’s a fascinating mix of old and new, with ultra-modern apartment complexes mixed in with 1000 year old temples and palaces. Koreans love to eat and drink, and tucked away in every corner are delicious, cheap restaurants and Hofs (beer and chicken pubs) that stay open to the wee hours of the morning. People here love to sing and to finish a night, they’ll often head to a Norae-bang (singing room). After a few nights out in Korea, you’ll understand why it’s called the “Land of the Morning Calm” because the streets will be eerily silent until mid-morning.
