Submerged in the lively mayhem of Seoul's Myeongdong area, enjoying road food like spilling over tteokbokki (hot rice cakes) and firm kimbap (kelp rice rolls).
Meandering through the tranquil Bukchon Hanok Town, conventional wooden houses with many-sided subtleties transport me back in time.

Dusks, and the cityscape changes into a stunning presentation of lights. On N Seoul Pinnacle, the all encompassing perspective blows my mind.
Getting away from the city, a shot train whisks me to Busan, the energetic seaside city. The invigorating ocean breeze and the sound of crashing waves revive me.

Investigating Manjanggul Magma Cylinder, the world's longest magma tube, is a dreamlike encounter. Tapered rocks and stalagmites trickle from the enormous roof, a characteristic miracle.
Loosening up on the dark sand sea shores of Jeju, the waves calms me into peacefulness. Tasting on a reviving coconut drink and absorbing the sun.

With a heart brimming with recollections and a bag spilling over with keepsakes, I load onto the plane back home. Korea, you've caught my heart, and I realize I'll be back some time or another to investigate more!
