The two faces of Seoul. We explore the capital of South Korea and discover its ancient roots while experiencing a modern metropolis pulsating with energy and creativity. It’s a city of contradictions. Crazy traffic but no road rage. We learn about herbal remedies, oriental medicine and acupuncture treatments at a University hospital. We visit night markets and tea houses, taste spicy foods and local delicacies, take in traditional dance and folk music, see an inventive modern show, cruise the Han River and tour the Imperial Palace of Gyeongbokgung, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
