Destination: Jeju, part 2 (South Korea)
Continuing the Jeju Christmas Adventure Korea trip – presenting the 2nd day of the trip (12/26). Part 1 can be found here. Waking up off the coast of Jeju – while it’s cold, it’s still a great way to wake up. After some breakfast, the...
Destination: Jeju, part 1 (South Korea)
After a very nice Christmas vacation, it’s taking some time to get back into the swing of things. Let’s rewind back to Christmas Day, where after signing up for an Adventure Korea trip this adventuring traveler and his fearless girlfriend met our guide at...
Destination: Hi Seoul Festival, Winter 2009 edition (South Korea)
This season’s Hi Seoul Festival welcomes you some citizen art and a scaled back, toned-down attitude. Gone is the multi-story information booth with computers and internet ostensibly to tell you about the festival, as well as the scattered locations across the...
Destination: The Story of Sejong – South Korea’s most famous king (Seoul, South Korea)
Admiral Yi Sun-Shin overlooking Gwanghwamun Plaza and an impressive light / water show. Not to be confused with the King Sejong Memorial Hall, the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts, Sejong’s statue in Yeouido Park, or anything else featuring Korea’s...

The Seoul Patch beat me to the Seoul Lantern Festival by a day, but there’s still a few great opportunities to check out the Lantern Festival, sponsored by the rather silly-named ‘Visit Korea Year’. That endeavor was not worthwhile, but these...
Destination: Bugaksan (Seoul, South Korea)
Whether you spell it Bugaksan or Bukaksan, 북악산 rests north of the Blue House (the residence of the Korean president), and south of the more well-known Bukhansan. At 342 meters high, it’s far from the the tallest mountain in the area, but it’s certainly one...
Destination: Dream Forest – a dreamy sort of park (Seoul, South Korea)
The recently-opened Dream Forest has been on my list since it first opened, although it wasn’t until even more recently that the construction crews finished. Once the site of a theme park named ‘Dream Park’, 북서울꿈의숲 (buk-Seo-ul-ggum-ui-sup) has an...
