SOUTH KOREA debrief: Juxtaposition of the old and

SOUTH KOREA debrief: Juxtaposition of the old and the new. Captivatingly charming. Undeniably underrated. Wonderfully welcoming. Marvelously modern. Effortlessly elegant. Really made me miss being an expat. Seoul was even better than I had imagined. I can’t wait to visit again, and hopefully explore the country beyond Seoul! 🇰🇷 My observations about Seoul and Korean culture:

1. The food in Seoul is simply fantastic. From street food to Michelin-starred restaurants, there’s literally something for everyone. I learned that there are more than 200 types of kimchi! The street food was very clean and safe, and we indulged almost daily, from tteokbokki to Korean honey pancakes to fried chicken. In addition, we had a Michelin experience and a traditional multi-course Korean feast — both were excellent. 🥢
2. Transportation around the city is very efficient, civilized, and affordable. Taxis are very inexpensive and ubiquitous. Sometimes it’s faster to take the metro, which is just as great and has WiFi access. Rideshare companies such as Uber haven’t caught on in full force due to regulatory challenges, but you can still use Uber Black and hail regular metered taxis through the app, if you must. 🚕
3. The shopping scene in Seoul is legendary. I had always heard that people go to South Korea to shop, but I didn’t fully understand that until now. 🛍
4. Knowing basic phrases and words goes a long way. We used an-nyeong-ha-se-yo (hello) and gam-sa-ham-ni-da (thank you) in abundance, and were met with looks of delight.
5. Seoul is often ranked as one of the most digitally connected cities. There’s WiFi almost everywhere, including public areas, restaurants, buses, metro, etc. It doesn’t hurt that it’s home to two of the biggest tech companies in the world: Samsung and LG. This also applies to the technological advancements in the country’s medical and cosmetic sector. With the highest rate of cosmetic surgeries per capita in the world and nearly 1 million procedures per year, Seoul is often called the world’s plastic surgery capital. 💄📱

Boston is such a gorgeous city. Charming. Historical. Intellectual. I love this city more and more every time I visit. The weather was mostly good — some heat, some humidity, some rain. But we were heavily rewarded with incredible sunsets. 🌇
