Let's go to the 'Seoul' of Korea!

Bad puns aside, I still can't believe this is happening. I'm very excited about seeing the sights of the mega city Seoul and then travelling out to the quaint Yangdongmaeul Village. I'm looking forward to learning more about South Korea's history and the different social and economic initiatives, especially the People for Successful Reunification (PSCORE) and educational programmes, that they've put in place. Two more sleeps!

Seoul power


Jakub from Auckland here. Can't believe that the craziness of Term 3 is over and we are only 4 days away from a brand new full on adventure. Hard to pick one thing that I'm really excited about - to be honest just being in South Korea which is full of so much history will be exciting...I think Seoul in general will be a highlight...I love busy, global cities which are full of life and many hidden gems...the Seoul olympics of 1988 are one of my first sporting memories that I remember watching as a 6 year old, so being there is person will be awesome...the food...the cultural experience and of course the historical links to the Korean War will all be amazing...

See you all on Sunday...
