Event Description
Following on from last week's trip to North Korea, in this talk we visit South Korea. A busy, bustling, commercial, fast-paced country - which couldn't be more different from North Korea. And it all felt quite familiar and altogether 'normal' by comparison with the trip to the north. All of a sudden we were 'free' to go where we wanted without a guide at our side! It was very strange being greeted by south Koreans who were in awe of the fact that we had been to the North , when they couldn't. It was an interesting trip, not least because of the contrasts. And perhaps one of the main contrasts is how colourful South Korea is, and how chatty and engaging the people are.
