When I came to South Korea as an exchange student, I pretty much stayed in Seoul the entire five-and-a-half months I was there. Being such a huge and busy city, there was always something to do, something to see, something to eat, someone to meet etc and I never felt like I wanted or needed to go somewhere else. In the years after I went back to Australia though, I always looked back and thought: "Why didn't I go explore the country more? I had so much time! So much energy!" I did visit Jeju Island with my family for three days when they came over to visit but it was raining for 80% of the trip so it wasn't the most ideal experience. But now, since I live in such a small city and there is not much (read: nothing) to do during the weekends, I have no excuse but to go out and see more of this beautiful country!
