Trip to South Korea! (2023)

 

So yes, this is the second time within a year that I have been to South Korea. I must let you know that I am not a Korea fan boy, so I am not there because of anything Kpop related. I’ve also been to Gyeongbokgung the last time I visited in 2022, so I believe the very essence of pre-colonial Korea has already been seen. I visited South Korea this time purely for the people here. Kihyun, my Uncle John, and Soo A, who all graciously spent a full day with me! I still got to go to interesting places though, as I will list below.
