Let’s Visit Asia

I don’t know about you but it never fails to get me all giddy and excited after I’ve made the first concrete steps in planning a trip. Sure, just thinking about going somewhere, even surfing around the web for possibilities already gets me hyped up, but when I’ve actually made the first tangible step — a reservation, whether for a plane ticket or accommodation –that’s when the adrenaline starts pumping.

I just came across South Korea Hotels, a blog on– you guessed it– hotels and travel tips about South Korea. It seems to be just a collection of travel articles that have been previously published elsewhere, but at least, if you’re travelling in the region, the blog may be a helpful resource for you. For off line reading, check out Moon Handbooks South Korea (Moon Handbooks’ South Korea), which has received generally good reviews from Amazon customers. One reviewer says it’s even better than Lonely Planet Korea.
