Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

This week I traveled 40 minutes away from my university. It was really nice to see new places and experience a different setting.

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

So far, I have traveled one hour away from my university, which was to Gangnam. Gangnam is the city from the song Gangnam-Style by PSY. Fun Fact: they have a statue of hands dedicated to the song Gangnam-style by the Coex Mall in Gangnam.

How did I get around this week?:

I used the subway most of the time this week because it is the cheapest and fastest way to get around the city. If my destination is less than an hour away, I usually walk there.

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

The most interesting place that I visited this week was Seoul Forest Park because there were statues and different parks that were connected. I found this place interesting because Korea's definition of a park is somewhat different to that used in the U.S.A. where there is, very often, a playground in the main area. 

Other Travel News from this week:

I also went to see the Bukchon Hanok Village which was really pretty because they had preserved traditional houses. The houses have been preserved for around 600 years!!
