Landed in Korea - South Korea (called as Hanguk by locals and also as Hankook by some) on 2nd April 2013 at 13:35 local time
At a time when a maniac was making threats of a nuclear war and this warmonger from North is threatening to turn Seoul in to a Sea of fire.
Seoul is only 50 km from North Korean border.
This young guy in his late 20's who inherited the job from his father has world's fifth largest army at his disposal, basic, crude and small but nuclear arsenals and missiles.
Anyway, we found people in South were not panic and it was business as usual and normal life in South Korea.
Places visited:
Incheon - 3rd largest City in South Korea
Seoul - largest City and Capital
Daegu - Fourth largest City
Gumi - Industrial City
Jeonju - Cultural City and regarded as Food capital of Korea
Hapcheon Dam
Hanok Village
Maisan
and Suburbs of Seoul - Suwon, Anyang, Gyeonggi, Gangnam (Gangnam style)
Found this cat caged in our hotel lobby in Daegu
Hotel Inter Burgo where we stayed for 4 days.
This one was attracting a lot of people.
Took a Korean Air flight from Mumbai (Mumbai - Incheon (Seoul) direct in 7 hrs and 30 min actual travel time). During onward journey, we loose the time difference of 3 hrs and 30 min which is counted in addition to the actual travel time to arrive at the local time.
