Asia Travelers    
 

South Korea is located in East Asia. Its only border is with North Korea . After the dramatic split-up in the fifties, the South has fared very well. It has become one of the richest countries in East Asia and has managed to keep up a rather frenetic pace of economic development. With China looming to its west and Japan nudging it from the east, it's no wonder the country has played unwilling host to centuries of war games. But no matter how many times its neighbours try to swallow it, South Korea manages to survive intact. The peninsula was partitioned in 1948, and the state of South Korea established, with forces of the United States in the south and the USSR in the North.

The capital city of Seoul is a good example of this. It is a big, dynamic city, but keeps the traditions of the ancestors alive. Old temples are still well visited, and the many palaces of former rulers remind the visitor of the past.

Pusan, in the south, is a large harbor city. It is a nice city and offers good possibilities for excursions. Manono Island and Apolima Island are very popular places to visit on a short trip.
