I've visited Korea many years back. The country esp Seoul is a mix of old and new but i feel abit discomfort when we were approach by Korean Christian evangelists who pestered us to believe in their God. I also noticed many churches across Seoul at night. So i was not surprised when the tour guide mentioned that some Christians are aggressive against Korea's traditional religion,Buddhism.So my visit is abit affected by this but other than that, the shopping is quite good.

Too bad, I am not so luckly like you guys, have the chances to travel to korea but I have the chances to read all the article you all have after back from korea and it is very nice. Earlier I wish to travel to Japan if I have the chances but then after read you guys article seems korea also is a nice place. Nowadays I used to watch out those drama movies at channel 303, astro. KBS. Their manners are really nice, japanese is famous with their manners but then korea not loss too, their manners are ichiban too. There's a channel where they used to show "Love in asia", but then those ladies are from Combodia, Vietnam or Indonesia only, why malaysian are not choosing korea? Ha....ha

Good day...

I guess Korea was very likely similar to Japan since they're just next to each other. just that you don't get to each sushi or tepanyaki there ;p
but it is a good alternative place to visit and it cost somewhat half the price compared to Japan
