5 Reasons to try a holiday in South Korea
There are so many destinations all around the world to choose from when deciding where to go on your holiday. Some people choose to always stick with conventional beach holidays, whereas for others there is the desire to experience new cultures and ways of life. For those who fit into this category and are deciding where to go next, here are 5 reasons to choose South Korea.
Korean Culture
The culture in South Korea is so very different from cultures such as one might find in Europe or in North America. There is a lot of benefit to be taken from visiting different cultures and we can learn so much about the rest of the world. In Korea expect a very different way of doing things in a country where things are very done at the last minute. Even buildings seem to be thrown up at the last moment and constructed suddenly within days.
Korean History
South Korea has a rich history, both good and bad, which can be explored during a visit to the country. There are a number of grand museums covering a range of interests as well as a number of historic buildings and sites of interest.
Food in South Korea
As is evident from the popularity in the UK and around the world of food from the Far East, the food is high quality and there is plenty to experience.
Weather
The weather in Korea is consistently hotter than that here in the UK, and for much of the year it is considerably hotter. There are plenty of outdoor activities for the visitor including a selection of beaches. In the summer time there can be torrential downpours with monsoon like rains sometimes, whilst the winters can often be more bitter than an average British style winter. Be prepared for real cold in winter and muggy heat in the summer.
To Feel Like a Giant
On average the size of people in South Korea is much smaller than in the UK. So if you are fed up of just being one of the crowd, head to South Korea and stand head and shoulders above the rest. Stood in a lift (elevator in American English) you might become very conscious of your height when stood there surrounded by the locals.
