South Korea is fascinating when it comes to cookery: each day after work, Koreans meet up amongst friends in restaurants or street stands to talk and relish low-priced dishes.

Seoul is an ideal place to visit if you want to really get to the heart of Korean culture, in all its strange exoticness! Shops, culture, food, things to see and do: you're bound to find something you'll enjoy during your visit!

The region of Daegu sharply contrasts with the city itself. It is a largely agricultural area where I saw a multitude of rice paddies, but also mountains, waterfalls, rivers, etc. The place is ideal for hiking, Palgongsan Natural Park in particular. During your walks through the heart of the park, you will come across the Buddhist temples and pagodas that are scattered through the forest.
The natural medicine of Yangnyeongsi is highly renowned, and the cultural centre dedicated to this type of care helped me learn more about natural plant-based remedies, but also to test their therapeutic treatments, such as herbal massages. Children, too, will be delighted because a floor is devoted to initiating them to medicinal herbs and their use.
