Seoul Travel News by Rebecca Holmes(TTN Travel Reporter): 2014.07.21 21:28 입력

I heard
about the Seoul Tour through a friend and thought it sounded interesting.  The tour included a trip to the 63 Building
where we could visit the aquarium, wax museum and sky view, as well as a lunch
and cruise on the Han River.  <table id="news_image" class="center" align="center" width="548"><tbody><tr><td><img src="http://themetn.com/PEG/14059456283978.jpg" width="548" align="absmiddle"></td></tr></tbody></table>

On Saturday we met up with the two
men in charge of the trip as well as several other Westerners and proceeded to
head to the 63 Building.  Our group
mainly spent time in the aquarium and sky view where we had a wonderful time
taking photos and seeing the animals. Even though I have visited aquariums
before it was interesting seeing the types of animals from a different country.
 One of the exhibits even had a
prehistoric fish that had been previously thought to be extinct.  However, new ones had been found and South
Korea’s aquarium had some of the only ones in the world.  From there we went to the sky view which
offered a panoramic view of Seoul that allowed me to see the entire city from a
different perspective.  The deck also
contained artwork by various Korean artists and gave me a glimpse of the modern
artistic culture.  <table id="news_image" class="center" align="center" width="700"><tbody><tr><td><img src="http://themetn.com/PEG/14059456221389.jpg" width="700" align="absmiddle"></td></tr></tbody></table>

Next, we went on a cruise on the Han
River.  Like the aerial view of the sky
deck this gave me a different view of Seoul: that of a peaceful city on the
river. Although Seoul is a bustling modern city, it has a historical side as
well, one that is easy to see along the river.

This trip also allowed me to meet
people from all over the world.  My
friends are mainly from America so it was interesting to be able to meet people
from different countries.  In addition,
my friend and I live in a medium sized city in southern Korea but the other
people lived everywhere from rural towns to actually residing in Seoul. Through
them I could further expand <a name="_GoBack"></a>my idea of Korea.  We also all held different jobs, from student
to hagwon and public school teachers to working in a business.  This tour helped me discover more of what it
means to be a foreigner in Korea.     <table id="news_image" class="center" align="center" width="700"><tbody><tr><td><img src="http://themetn.com/PEG/14059456369788.jpg" width="700" align="absmiddle"></td></tr></tbody></table>

Although I want to see as much of the country as I can, I often
either don’t know which places are good to visit or if I do, can’t afford to
visit all of them.  The Seoul Travel Pass
has many amazing discounts and allows me to see sides of Seoul that I would
otherwise be unable to see.
