Seoul Motels - Reviews and Rates

Seoul (서울)- A commercial, thriving, fast-paced megalopolis that many might argue lacks a 'soul' of it's own. It's not one of those 'love at first sight' places- hell, it's not even a love at third or tenth sight place. But, nonetheless, over the course of the past 14th months, this massive 'city that could' found a way to steal my ...

So the rumors are true, I did form a rock band in Korea.
Here is the cover to our first album.







It all started as I was wandering around Seoul waiting for the English tour of one of the palaces (I eventually went, it looks like this).








As I was walking I saw a guy in a park nea...

My homestay mom told me that I was the talk of the apartment village when I left for Wonju. Now, she told me in Korean, so I'm not exactly sure all she was trying to tell me.

But I can just imagine their gossip. "Did you see that big-nosed foreigner?" (Americans are known for their big noses here in Korea. That even used to be our monike...

Hello all!
Today was our first long day, and it was really amazing!
Last night I slept like a baby- it was wonderful- my jet lag is almost gone!
In the morning I went for a run with my friend, Danielle, who is from Maine.  It was really great, because it both involved me getting to know her and Seoul better.  Tomorrow we have two others...

May 2, 2008 lasted longer than any other day for us, ever. We left Phuket, Thailand on May 2nd at 1:55am. Of course we got to the airport around 5pm b/c we had to take a ferry from Phi Phi Island and didn't have anywhere else to go. So we sat on the floor of the airport until 11pm, when the Korean Airline ticket counter finally opened and we cou...

we arrived to korea unscathed, though smelling of smoke. ben, a friend from grammar and high school in san francisco has been living over here for over a decade and we have kept in touch. he and jeong hwa met us at the ferry terminal. we rode the train back to the house and then got lunch. later we went out around town together. first stop: toks...

Wow! I love Seoul! I am surprised that I like it so much better than Japan. Maybe things are a bit more westernized here. James booked a trip to the DMZ for Sunday for me & we have lots of walking to do today. First things first, a shower & to Krispy Kreme for breakfast. Even though I'm having a great time with someone I used to refer to...

Just back from climbing a mountain there. Tiring stuff and i was pretty wrecked going up the trail. The trek was about 3 km to the summit, basically i just followed the trail. The koreans love hiking which was evident from the 60 or so people i saw either going up or coming down the hill on a cold wet february day. Mostly old people seem to do t...

Today is our last day in Seoul, we went for a quick lunch before heading to the airport... Kamsa-hamnida! Annyonghi gaseyo!

08h00 Visited my second DMZ (first was Vietnam). We went on the "Fence Tour" to the 4km wide DMZ separating the two halves of Korea. Visiting there is not that easy, technically the two sides are still at war since the South never signed the 60's armistice. Korean nationals need special permission to go there; you go through a military checkpoin...
