The Korean Way of Life

Culture and history form a large part of the Korean way of life. It is no surprise, therefore, that there are a lot of historical sites outside the capital city of Seoul. Two cities in particular, Pusan and Gyeongju, have to be in any tourist's itinerary because the richness of the Korean culture and history can be experienced in these places. If time and money permit it, tourists should also go to Daegue, Gwangu and Mokpo.

If transportation is a concern, Korean public transport will put to shame other public transportation services. There are high speed trains that bring people between and across cities. An extensive bus network also guarantees an efficient and safe way to move around the county.
For those seafood lovers, the city of Pusan which is a harbor city provides the freshest seafood. The city also offers a lot of wonderful sites. For short but satisfying trips, the islands of Manono and Apolima are a must-see for any tourist.
