Before I went to South Korea, I had incredible questions.. I spent months researching South Korea. I have read hundreds of pages by scrutinizing both Turkish blogs and foreign sources.. I followed the routes of Seoul (Seoul Travel Guide), Gyeongju (Gyeonju Travel Guide) and Busan (Busan Travel Guide) during my 10-day South Korea tour. I was very happy to see how much South Koreans love us, how respectful and warm-blooded people they are.. That’s why, according to my own experiences and my eyes, I start to tell what I know about South Korea…
With its society and the country’s unique characteristics, South Korea is much more than expected as our stop before Japan. gave more.
