Namsan Park is a major landmark of Seoul, but having visiting a month or two after arriving in Korea back in 1994, I never came back… until we visited with the family a couple weeks ago. The old castle wall of Seoul crossed over this mountain, and just about anything...
I'm not a big fan of this boiled ground fish snack, but the rest of the family enjoys it. We were headed into Seoul to visit Namsan Tower on Sunday.
Just down the road from our pension was this park of dolmen stones, which were an ancient burial method in Korea. Great place for a picnic! Suncheon Dolmen Park [EXPIRED LINK REMOVED: https://www.dolmenpark.com/main/index] (Visit in Google Maps.)
Just driving down a country road looking for a place to stay, we came across this place, which may be the nicest inn we’ve ever stayed at in Korea.

To and from Mokpo, the fast boat takes one hour and ten minutes; the slow boat (that also carries cars) takes over two and a half hours because it stops at various other islands on the way. We took the fast boat to get there and the slow boat to...
Haeui Island is a beautiful place. From coastline to mountains to rice paddies to mud flats, there's a little of everything. I think I could definitely enjoy living in a place like this as long as I can get an Internet connection. (Visit in Google Maps.)
Last year, we visited the birthplaces of former Korean presidents Kim-Young Sam and Roh Moo-Hyun. Those were easy to get to; to reach President Kim Dae-Jung's birthplace, we had to take a boat from Mokpo in the afternoon to the remote island of Haeui and return the next day on...
