South Korea
Often referred to as the "Land of the Morning Calm", Korea is located at a major crossroads of Northeast Asia. That's what makes South Korea so exciting is it has become a country of endless possibilities. Seoul is where this is felt most keenly. There's an infectious energy here and it's easy to get caught up in the Korean joie de vivre, as well as the city's non-stop attractions. Less modern but no less appealing is the ancient city of Gyeongju, where temples, pagodas and royal tombs are a source of much fascination. Further south, the bustling port town of Busan is a little rough around the edges but rewards those travellers willing to pursue a more traditional city.
