snapshots of korea- suwon


the Seoul metro is amazing. it goes out more than 40 kilometres in various directions. so, for just over one GBP, i was able to take the metro out to Suwon, a city of over 1 million people about 30 kilometres from the capital. It is traditionally known as "The City of Filial Piety". the cool thing is that it is a totally walled city, the last remaining one of its kind in South Korea. you can spend the whole day wandering the palaces and the exterior wall. If friends hadnt pointed me to it, i never would have known of Suwon's existence, reminding me how lucky i am to have local guides. without them i think it would be easy to miss alot in this country.
