There’s nowhere else in South Korea where you can get so close to North Korea and North Korean soldiers without being arrested or shot, and the tension is palpable. And yet, at the same time, there’s a theatrical aspect here too, with posturing on both si

WorldTravelDB.com — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 09:01:11 +0000

The province of Gyeonggi-do hugs Seoul like a reverse letter ‘C, ’ providing excellent day trips or longer expeditions to some of Korea’s gems. Often overlooked due to its proximity to the Bladerunner-esque cityscape that is Seoul, Gyeonggi-do is a varied
