How much do we REALLY actually know about Korea... A trip of 心 and 情.

 Another Winter in Korea 한국 겨울 여행... JUST the TWO of us!

22 Dec 2022 - 10 Jan 2023



... a painting on the wall of our hotel...

I saw this painted on the wall of our hotel on this trip. To me, reading a lot is just as important too. Reading gives us the grounding in knowledge, while travelling gives us practical, localised experiences. But truly it is only when we physically interact with the people can we experience the emotions, the vibes, and the affections that they exude - what we call 人情 .

Thus the question "Do we really know a lot about Korea after all this while?" kept reverberating in my mind.  And this trip gave us new insights into the land, the people, their thinking, and their language.
