Recently I  started watching  a new Korean drama called “ 이몽 ” (Imong)- English title “Different Dreams”, a story based on the independence movement of Korea during the 1930s'.

My Tour Experience in K-Travel Bus K-Travel Bus for foreigners is a novel idea launched to facilitate the foreigners who wish to travel in South Korea within their short vacation period. All of the K-Travel tours are 2 days and 1 night trips departing from the capital Seoul to various parts of the country. If you wish to see the beauty of the South Korea within a short period of time, joining a K-travel tour is a hassle-free way to get it arranged.

We departed on our travel from Seoul Gwanghamun Square on 25th March 2016 at 9.00 am. Our lovely tour guide explained
