South Korea - General Info

There's really no reason to go Daejeon EXCEPT the Boryeong Mud Festival that takes place every July. In a major tourist-fest, you can cover yourself with the natural mud from head to toe and take pictures that will impress your friends back home all while exfoliating and soothing your skin.

A trip to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) in Panmunjom is a really interesting addition to any trip to Korea. To see the North and South Korean Soldiers face to face and hear about the psychology of the DMZ is a one-of-a-kind experience. See how both sides pit their tallest, strongest soldiers to face each other across a thin line. A must-see if you can arrange it!

Although you can often find western toilets, you might have to put up with squatties in more out-of-the-way places.  Face the hood when using one.
