Admiral Yi ranks right up there with King Sejong the Great as one of the coolest figures in the history of Korea. He’s on the 100 won coin because of his status as an all time badass legendary hero of Korean military history. Even if this stuff doesn’t interest you, you can’t deny that his statue is one badass statue!

How to get there: Gwanghwamun Station (Line 5 – Exit 2). Gyeongbokgung Station (Line 3 – Exit 5).

    As mentioned above, the virtual office can be used as a legal address when creating a company in Singapore, as it implies a physical address and the only document to submit with ACRA is the contract.
