Korea wasn’t on our list of must-visit destinations. But when we lived in Vietnam, we discovered many flights to South Korea. They departed from several cities and arrived in different Korean destinations.
Competition kept prices very attractive. We decided: why not explore a new country? Plus, we didn’t need a visa. Travelers apply for entry authorization online.
We bought tickets from Nha Trang to Busan for $200 for two people, including baggage! We spent a few days in Busan. Then we took a high-speed train to Seoul. We stayed there for several days in a cool apartment with rooftop access.
South Korea amazed us deeply. Now it remains one of my favorite countries!
