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...
This park sports an impressive collection of lotus flowers, and a pond full of turtles. Was supposedly a popular spot for the Baekje kings and their family members 1,500 years or so ago. (Visit in Google Maps.)

I'm afraid I went a little ga-ga over the Korean TV drama Light and Shadow (빛과 그림자) this year and so, on the way home from the Yeosu Expo 2012, we had to visit this place where many of the outdoor scenes were filmed. This show was set in the...
