South Korea is much than its big cities –much more than Daegu, Busan or Seoul. And in my humble opinion, you may find the seat of power, the mighty infrastructure and the cogs of industry in the big city, but the soul of the country lies in the mountanous terrain of its much smaller cities, villages and towns. It’s in the celebrations, rice paddies, green tea terraces and traditional hanoks that we are lucky enough to experience firsthand.

The shopping is amazing if you’re a size 6 or smaller, wear less than an 8-8 1/2 shoe, don’t possess hips, thighs, booty or cleavage. But even if it fits, it may not be complementary because black girls (white and latina girls) and Korean girls don’t exactly have the same shapes. They zig where we zag, actually they don’t zig or zag, lol.
