The true jewel of S.Korea is actually its safety, such as walking around at night and going to a covenience store..

I studied East Asian history (not my major but took a few classes) during undergrad, and took two classes on Korean history. As a westerner, wanted to point to a few other things to consider as to why Korea was able to develop so quickly.
- A firm, strong fundamental sense of cultural identity. Its history extends back thousands of years.. spanning several dynastic periods and phases. Even as a small country, Korea has exerted soft power throughout East Asia and beyond. To name one example, Silla's capital Gyeongju existed as a cultural hub in East Asia for nearly a thousand years. It was a major trading hub and stopping point along the Silk road. Prized were Korea's ceramic wares, fabrics, farmed goods, etc.

- A strong sense of cooperation during hardships, and sacrifice. Koreans have an ability to quickly consolidate and work together towards a common goal. This included the urge to modernize as quickly as possible post Korean War.

- Education. It's a bedrock of Korean success and despite some flaws in its education system, Korea has a highly educated, well informed society.

Cheers!

My father was assigned to Korea from 1963-65 and we lived in Seoul. Now the city is not recognizable at all compared to when we lived there. Many, many, many memories, and really cannot carry it further than that.

The colors everywhere, the contrasts between modern and old architecture, and the vibes between each generation make South Korea look chill.

I remember being stationed in Korea many years ago and spent a portion of my time there in Seoul. The one thing that always stood out to me was the food, it is absolutely some of the best I have ever had. The people were great as well and very welcoming, I would definitely love to go back and visit again one day.

These days, hiking has become one of the biggest travel trends in Korea.
I recommend visiting not only Seoul but also other local tourist cities.
I hope you’ve made some wonderful memories during your trip.

The "makeover" worked well. I got a kick out of the fresh octopus. You both impressed me with your ability to eat Kimchee without flinching. I love both Korea and Taiwan.
