Seoul, Soul of Asia

In terms of food, all shall agree that Kimchi makes Seoul go round and round!
Kimchi is a traditional fermented dish. It is popular not just in South Korea but in other parts of the world too!

Kimchi is prepared ahead in autumn for use in winter season where fresh vegetables are not easily available. Kimchi is also used in ceremonial rituals.
However, kimchi can now be found throughout the year and the dishes now can be associated according to seasons (Winter, Autumn,Summer & Spring) using variations of sauces and vegetables with unique and distinct flavours.

Korea is also known for its K-Pop Culture. This particular phenomenon has been elaborated on the previous posts. In short, it is the hippy trend in Korean modern contemporary music scene which is spreading throughout the Asian continent. Not only that, Korean drama series are also getting the outside attention as well.

Visitors also can visit the Seoul Tower. One can experience breathtaking view on top of the 236.7 meter tall tower. The Seoul tower can be found at the summit of Mount Namsan. It was built in 1969. The unique factor of the Seoul tower is that it has a rotating restaurant on the 4th viewing deck which makes one revolution every 48 minutes! One certainly can dine it and enjoy the view at the tower.

Seoul is also home to Korea's National Museum. First opened in october 2005, it showcases Korea's archaeology, histroy and rarest art all in one place. Check out the video below to find out what awaits within the museum!
