Deep down, we’re all children. This park features a small amusement park, a small zoo, and miles and miles of beautiful scenery. The park is open year round, but is a great place to visit during spring when the cherry blossoms are blooming and during fall when the leaves are changing color.
Random Fact: The park was actually featured in Psy’s Gangnam Style music video for about 2 seconds!
How to get there: They have their own dedicated station: Children’s Park Station (Seoul Subway Line 7), Exit 1.

Tapgol Park and the area around it is where all the old people hang out. Well, we know why. This park shows the vast contrast between a tourist hot-spot and a regular street frequented by the locals of Seoul. This is what most tourists need to see; the side of Seoul that belongs to the locals.
How to get there: Jongno 3(sam)-ga Station (종로3가 Subway Line 1, 3, 5), Exit 1. Walk for about 5 minutes, you can’t miss it.

It’s fair to say that Korea has had a rather troubled history. The War Memorial of Korea museum covers pretty much the entire history of Korean warfare and even shows what future warfare might look like, slightly concerning seeing as the two Korea’s are technically still at war (yikes!).

I love my Alexa and my echo I use in my house. I want to give one to my Mom because she’s losing her sight and I think and echo might help her. Can I loads the apps I think she could use like news , trivia using my phone apps then give it to her? My mom doesn’t have a phone because of her vision plus if the family adds the apps or the device she could use her echo. My Mom doesn’t have a computer either but her complex has wi-fi. Can someone help me help my 97 yr old mother. Thank you
I mostly use iTunes as well as Amazon. It’s excellent to be able to buy personal music ever since iTunes created it possible. I also pay attention to web stations quite often too since it hardly uses up any information and can keep it operating on the part all the time. For more click here
