Exploring Seoul on a Rewarding Business Trip

Our journey to Seoul became an extraordinary business trip as our company generously treated all employees to the vibrant and exciting city. Seoul, known as the cultural heart of South Korea, is a treasure trove of exotic sights. The city boasts amazing teahouses, shops where you can savor authentic Korean cuisine, and some of the most breathtaking museums, showcasing true architectural artistry.

One memorable experience was when my colleague, Sam, played the role of a Korean chef at one of the restaurants. Together, we created Bibimbap, a beloved Korean dish consisting of mixed rice, meat, and vegetables. It lived up to its reputation as one of the most beloved dishes, and we cherished the opportunity to learn and bond over a shared culinary adventure.

The Gyeongbokgung Palace, built in 1395, is a testament to the enduring beauty of Korean architecture. It's often referred to as the "Northern Palace" due to its location. This historical gem, once the residence of the Kings of the Joseon dynasty, has gracefully withstood the test of time, with its intricately designed roofs and grandeur.

Myeongdong, a bustling shopping district, offers an unparalleled shopping experience. Renowned department stores like Lotte and Shinsegae stand tall here, accompanied by an abundance of malls, cosmetics, and clothing stores. Snack stalls provide delicious treats to fuel your shopping spree, and the district's international appeal means you'll hear a myriad of languages spoken.

For fashion enthusiasts, Myeongdong is a haven, home to famous brands like H&M and Migliore, offering affordable yet stylish products. Don't forget to visit Nature Republic for budget-friendly, high-quality face masks!

Seoul Tower, a 237-meter marvel, stands tall as a symbol of South Korea's pride. The Seoul Tower Plaza is a must-visit, and you can reach it using the Namsan cable car. However, to truly appreciate its beauty, visit at night to witness the tower in all its illuminated glory.

Our business trip to Seoul was not just about work; it was an opportunity to explore a city rich in culture, history, and vibrant experiences. Thanks, Innity!
