At first I was curious in South Korea because of its history. I fell in love with most of their historical dramas because of how they carefully included even small details of customs and gestures to portray their country’s culture. That’s why during our visit in the country, the theme became like historical tour with a twist of theme parks. I plan to come back in this country to experience the beauty of remote sites which usually showcases their mountains and national parks. My family and I visited this country last June 2014.
