ONE OF THE LATE 20th century miracle economies, in a generation, South Korea went from the rubble of war, to a manufacturing powerhouse.
I only popped over from Japan once, for a 3 day trip. People were helpful and friendly, food was superb. Yet it took me over a decade to get back.
South Korea didn’t blow us away, but we didn’t expect it to. It’s castles, temples and old cities were quiet interesting, worth a look, but kind of underwhelming. The hiking and mountains were excellent. Transport a breeze.
