The perfect mix between tradition and modernity: Asian far East called me again after years of restrictions for covid. And a person obsessed by borders like me, couldn’t miss THAT BORDER.
Seoul streets looked strangely familiar, maybe for the TV series, and korean movies we’ve often seen at home. And you can always eat street food at any market around the city.
Seoul palaces show the ancient soul of the city
Korean traditional houses are called “Hanok”. There are some Hanok villages in the capital, where you can find restaurants, guest houses, and little shops, with the typical traditional architecture.
Korean Demilitarized Zone
Not everybody knows it, but North Korea and South Korea are technically still at war. The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a neutral 4 km wide area across the korean border. This zone talks about war, separated families, spy stories. My friends know I hate organized tours, but independent travellers weren’t allowed to enter inside DMZ; military police controlled our passports, and some pictures were forbidden. It was a strong and emotional experience.
