I highly recommend that couple should take a time off and spend quality time once in a while. I've read somewhere that Seoul is like Paris in Asia. Never been to Europe myself but I will have to agree that it is a romantic city. Cheesy isn't it? If you are looking for a travel destination that will offer both rich culture and modern city life then South Korea could just be the place for you...
If there are three things that I remember South Korea for it will be:
1. Kimchi & Kimbap (Korean Sushi Rolls). You wouldn't have to worry where to eat your breakfast. Coffee shops are all over the place. It was perfect for winter. And oh boy I just love the street foods and Korean barbeque!!!
2. Korean fashion & Korean Cosmetics. A trip to Korea wouldn't be complete without Korean cosmetics. You can find them in every corner... Of course who would not be astounded by Korean fashion? If you want to experience insane shopping experience, check out Myeongdong.
3. Rich culture and heritage. Seeing the palaces myself was like a dream come true. I admire how they manage to preserve this. DMZ (Korean Demilitarized Zone) something not to be missed.
One downside is that English conversations could be difficult at times especially when you need directions. But overall, it was a great experience. A taste of different culture.
So here are some of the photos.
MYEONGDONG
This is shopper's paradise. Literally shop 'til you drop!!! Take a walk and enjoy the sight of busy shoppers!
Chicken to die for. Must try!!!
LOTTE WORLD
Korea may not have Disneyland but they have their own theme park that is world class. This is an indoor and outdoor theme park both for the young and old. Aside from the rides, you can just sit back and enjoy the Live Show featuring K Pop entertainment.

N SEOUL TOWER
Communication & Observation Tower located in Namsam wherein you can see the rest of Seoul from the top. Cable car ride is available here. You can check out the Bear Museum which is part of the attraction... Hang named padlocks to make your visit a memorable one. You can purchase padlocks from the stalls around the area but it's going to be pricey. So... You can bring your own! :)

CHANGDEOKGUNG PALACE & GYEONGBOKGUNG PALACE
Your trip to Seoul will never be complete without paying a visit to these palaces. This tells so much about their history. The façade is truly amazing. Ensure not miss the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony at the Gyeongbokgung Palace. If you have the spare time, you can borrow their cultural costume for a worth taking picture. Last time we went it was free of charge! How cool is that?
Inside the Gyeongbokgung Palace, you can find the National Folk Museum.
