I visited Seoul, South Korea, for 48 hours with my family, exploring vibrant areas like Gangnam and Myeongdong. We indulged in unique desserts such as Capybara and Ditto jelly, and savored various street foods at the night market. Our trip also included fun activities like playing gacha machines, getting a family portrait drawn, and dressing up in traditional hanboks at a palace during the beautiful cherry blossom season. It was a memorable experience filled with delicious food, cultural immersion, and family fun. — Seoul · Myeongdong
