Arriving in Korea


I have travelled to Korea to conduct a 5 day program on eLearning to Korean lecturers from vocational education and training organisations. I spent my first night in Incheon and then travelled to Suwon by bus.

Suwon, is 48km south of Seoul and the outstanding attraction is Hwaseong, a restored fortress originally built between 1794 and 1796 during the reign of King Jeongio. This has been designated a World Heritage site.

Suk, the Professor of eLearning at the university, and my interpreter for the week’s lecture, picked me up and we did a tour of the palace and the walled city. We also had a wonderful Korean lunch and my first experience of eating snails!
