South Korea Lonely Planet Splash Page

The image for this post is one of the Lonely Planet Splash Pages for South Korea. There are several images, each portraying a different side of the country. I don’t have a lot of history with the country of South Korea. My biological father was a serviceman during the Korean War but I have no idea if he was there. I once employed a student from the local university who worked for me and was from South Korea. The one thing I remember about him is that he asked for some time off to go home and get married. I thought that was great. He was a very nice young man. However, I thought it was somewhat strange that he had never met his new bride. It was, apparently, a marriage arranged totally by the parents. That would have never happened in my family. I can assure you. South Korea is significant to me in that I need to go there to get it on my country count and it is one of the Asian locations where I can fly into for fewer air miles than other destinations. Plus, I’d kinda like to see some of it.
