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.

Discovering the country's gastronomy

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 city of Gangneung doesn't hold any particular interest in itself, other than its beaches. On the other hand, it's easy to get around to explore the surrounding areas, and the food is very good and rather good value for money, as with everywhere in Korea. In the surrounding areas, I found the natural landscapes very beautiful, in particular the pine forests down the length of the coast.
The annual Danoje Festival is one of the biggest festivals in the country, and it's on the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list. During this period, you can go to folk shows and take part in traditional activities, such as making masks and Korean wrestling... It's also a good opportunity to discover local specialities, spicy, of course.
