Arrived with low expectations, left completely converted

South Korea wasn't high on my travel list. A friend pushed me to go and I'm genuinely grateful. The first full day in Incheon reset everything — the scale of Gyeongbokgung Palace and the quality of the fried chicken with beer were immediate signals that I'd misjudged the place completely.

very safe became my personal highlight of the whole trip. Spent 20 days and could easily have stayed twice as long. Now I tell everyone who'll listen that South Korea is underrated — add it to your list.
