This was a mix work and fun trip. I always love going to Japan and Korea, especially for the wonderful food delicacies.

This is a well known Korean bbq chain in Seoul. You can get different quality grades of meat. Not the best I’ve had but solid all around.

This was a fun trip to see the DMZ which has become very touristy.

The tunnel was a long walk down. It was relatively crowded so we had to stay in a queue. It got quite tight in certain spots. Would not recommend for those slightly claustrophobic!

I loved seeing this station as it felt a little surreal. A nice western looking train station linked to a crazy repressive country that is North Korea.
