Every now and then we crave traveling to a place that feels completely different than where we happen to be. After spending a solid amount of time in Europe, we decided to take advantage of the specific visa rules that apply to Indian passport holders “transiting” via Korea to the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/fun-facts-and-observations-about-seoul-korea/feed/ 6 https://bkpk.me/tour-dmz-korean-demilitarized-zone/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tour-dmz-korean-demilitarized-zone https://bkpk.me/tour-dmz-korean-demilitarized-zone/#comments Fri, 05 Jan 2018 11:58:09 +0000 Zara https://bkpk.me/?p=20700
Visiting the Demilitarized Zone (aka DMZ) between North and South Korea was quite a bizarre experience. Yet it was one of those bizarre experiences that I would certainly recommend to anyone traveling to Seoul and at all interested in local affairs. The so-called demilitarized zone happens to have more than ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/tour-dmz-korean-demilitarized-zone/feed/ 6 https://bkpk.me/authentic-hanok-seoul-raon-guesthouse/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=authentic-hanok-seoul-raon-guesthouse https://bkpk.me/authentic-hanok-seoul-raon-guesthouse/#comments Fri, 08 Dec 2017 10:29:32 +0000 Zara https://bkpk.me/?p=20693
If it’s true that first impressions tend to last, my idea of Seoul would be one of futuristic looking cityscapes, locals adorned with modern accessories and an efficiency that only well planned contemporary cities manage to achieve. That is one of the obvious sides of Seoul, no doubt about that. ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/authentic-hanok-seoul-raon-guesthouse/feed/ 1 https://bkpk.me/authentic-korean-cooking-class-in-seoul/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=authentic-korean-cooking-class-in-seoul https://bkpk.me/authentic-korean-cooking-class-in-seoul/#comments Wed, 06 Dec 2017 16:53:55 +0000 Zara https://bkpk.me/?p=20664
It’s only been a few weeks since our trip to Korea came to an end, and we’ve already cooked bibimbap (비빔밥) at home at least 5 times! If exploring the food culture of the country was one of the highlights of our trip around Korea, taking a cooking class in ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/authentic-korean-cooking-class-in-seoul/feed/ 4 https://bkpk.me/south-korea-visa-for-indians/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=south-korea-visa-for-indians https://bkpk.me/south-korea-visa-for-indians/#comments Sun, 22 Oct 2017 10:26:57 +0000 Ashray https://bkpk.me/?p=20584
Indian passport holders ordinarily need a visa to visit South Korea (except Jeju island). You can apply for a visa at the nearest South Korean consulate and receive a 90 day visa fairly quickly. Most nationalities, even those that need a visa to visit South Korea, do not need one ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/south-korea-visa-for-indians/feed/ 117 https://bkpk.me/the-most-memorable-moments-from-my-time-in-north-korea/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-most-memorable-moments-from-my-time-in-north-korea https://bkpk.me/the-most-memorable-moments-from-my-time-in-north-korea/#comments Sun, 20 Oct 2013 05:15:55 +0000 Irina Callegher http://bkpk.me/?p=9739
North Korea is, no doubt, a unique country to travel to. The places that visitors are allowed to see and the activities they can do are restricted by the government. And a very structured official itinerary offers neither time for “free roaming” nor “meeting locals”. Things that the majority of ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/the-most-memorable-moments-from-my-time-in-north-korea/feed/ 8 https://bkpk.me/tequila-suicide-in-busan-south-korea/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tequila-suicide-in-busan-south-korea https://bkpk.me/tequila-suicide-in-busan-south-korea/#comments Mon, 13 May 2013 03:58:09 +0000 Vaibhav Wankhede http://bkpk.me/?p=7745
I’m sure Busan is a fine city, it’s just that during my 5 days there I just didn’t see enough of it. I was couch surfing with Jamie in Busan. We used to stay out all night and sleep the whole day. Most of my Busan memories center around going ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/tequila-suicide-in-busan-south-korea/feed/ 5
