Tour de Korea

One of the perks of living abroad with a growing network and international friends and former colleagues is the ability to easily jet off to another new locale and have "experts" on the ground, ready to show you around.  Long Weekend in South Korea it is!

Starting off with a quick visit to Jeju and capping it off with a whirlwind tour of Seoul, made for a packed and entertaining few days!

Jeju: location of easily one of the spiciest bowls of noodles I've ever eaten.
NOTE: The proprietor of this establishment creeping in the background over
my left shoulder, likely judging us for a) wanting vegetarian fare and
b) requesting a low spice level. She delivered on one of these two things.

Samseonghyeol
A small green park in the center of the city of Jeju, site of three holes in the
ground where, according to local folklore, three demigods emerged as the
founding fathers of the island.

Gyeongbokgung Palace
Personal Opinion: I think all historic sites should have the option
to dress up in period costumes to walk around. 

Top of the World
Looking out over Seoul from the observation desk of the Lotte World Tower,
the 6th tallest building in the world at 555.7 meters in height.
