South Korea 2023

I visited South Korea (Seoul) for the first time last September. I mostly enjoyed my stay and plan to visit again this year.

Things that I liked there:

  • friendly people
  • metro
  • a lot of cultural sights
  • warm weather with a pleasant humid continental climate
  • people are not afraid to protest for their rights
  • minimal police presence on the streets (although we did see some helicopters)
  • not super expensive

However, I also encountered some issues:

  • not so easy to find western food
  • Google Maps didn’t function properly
  • unpleasant smells in some streets
  • navigation wasn’t always the best

Below are some photos that I took during my visit.
