Saturday and Sunday: The Royal Asiatic Society is organizing a tour to South Jeolla Province.
Korea’s deep south is an unspoiled part of the country that has served as a place of exile for scholars, revolutionaries, as well as “foreigners” as Hendrik Hamel and his fellow Dutch sailors, who lived for seven years in a village in the hinterland of Gangjin.
The bus will leave at 8:00 a.m. from the Yongsan Post Office, Sinyongsan Station, line No. 4, exit 1.
The tour costs 188,000 won for members and 208,000 won for non-members. For more information call (02) 763-9483 or visit www.raskb.com/.
