Hi Ken,

15 years ago? I’m so curious to know what Korea looked like then… especially somewhere like Jeonju with all its cultural and historical significance.

Best, Matt

I think foreigners are often the people who are most likely to take the time to go sightseeing… I’m American, but have never visited the Grand Canyon, the Statue of Liberty or Niagara Falls but most of my Korean friends who have traveled in the U.S. have… I guess some of us are just less apt to travel when we’re in our home countries!

RE: traveling together, sure! I’d love to.
