On Monday night we enjoyed visiting the sights of South Korea – without the cost of an airfare!! Thanks to Jaye for sharing her travel experiences and photos taken while travelling through South Korea. South Korea is about the same size as our North Island but has a population of 51million. Jaye commenced her journey from the capital city Seoul. The first stop was the ‘Demilitarised Zone’ on the edge of the Han River. It is an area set up specifically for tourists and many of the visitors were using long-focus lenses to gain a glimpse of the other side – ‘North Korea’. We also saw the ‘Reunification Tower’ – the South Koreans would like to find a way of merging with North Korea, however that is not a sentiment shared by the North. Another highlight of Seoul was the ‘Lotte World Tower’ – the 5th highest building in the world is a 123 story, 555m skyscraper. You travel very quickly to the top in a whisper quiet lift at 10m/sec. The views over the city and surrounding areas are stunning.
