For our last pre-Baby Selfish trip Mrs. Selfish and I decided to give South Korea one more go. Having visited Seoul during our Selfish Year abroad, we decided to visit two more locations: the old Silla Empire Capital of Gyeongju, and the beautiful beach city of Busan.
South Korea gets a very luke warm reception Stateside for some reason. My guess would be that it is overshadowed by Japan and China, much like Taiwan.
While it is a shame for South Korean tourism, it’s pretty sweet if you’re looking to get away from fellow Northern Americans.
Especially with awesome sites like the Beomusa Temple.
