Trip to South Korea! (2022)
So, this is the first travel blog thing I will ever have. I need to go back to China, and South Korea is like the perfect transfer country for me because it is so much closer to Dalian, my destination. I did not plan where I am going to go, and just winged it. Hey, it worked out!
This is the extra long version of my journey from Los Angeles to Seoul and to Dalian. If you want a short and general guide for flying to China with all the quarantine stuff, click here.
攻略还有简体中文和繁體中文。
I stayed in Seoul for three days, with a total of 5 days before I started quarantine in China. Every day will be linked below so you can see the details if you click on them.
7 Day Quarantine in China is extremely boring, so I will not do extra pages for them. However, I will include quarantine food down below.
Now, without further a due, let’s begin!
