Seoul


I finally got around to visiting Seoul last weekend. It was a good trip, although very busy. I took the KTX high speed train, which gets you across Korea in under 3 hours (normally a 6 hour drive).


Almost nothing historic in the city is an original. Most palaces, gates, and temples have been destroyed and rebuilt at least once by various Japanese invasions or the Korean War. My favorite parts of the trip were the palaces and Seoul Tower. I also went to a few cool markets. Definitely will go back at some point.
