In our last few days here in Korea me and my friends traveled to Andong, a smaller town 3.5 hours away from Seoul towards the East. Andong had a more traditional appearance, with ancient Korean buildings and statues, and really gave another dimension to Korean life. Away from the hustle and crowds of Seoul Andong gave a more relaxed impression with a lot less foreign presence in the town.
