Final Words From Seoul
As the program comes to an end I’ve compiled a series of advice and tips to spending the month in Seoul. Upon arriving at Seoul, it’s really easy to get to Hanyang from the airport. Instead of paying 80,000+ won on a taxi, you can take the subway for about 2,000-3,000 won. The only time ...
