Oh, to be in Korea now that autumn is here! It's my favourite season and here are some reasons why you should be there this year:1. You may not trust the weatherman much but it's worth paying attention to the predictions of the Korean Meteorological Administration. If you're planning a trip to South Korea this October or November, look out for the details that the KMA will issue later.
The change in autumn foliage will be later this year but the good news is that the leaves will be more colourful than usual. Apparently, that depends on the summer temperatures as it affects the colour chemistry in the maple trees. According to KBS, "Autumn foliage will reach its peak on October 20th at Mount Seorak and on November fifth at Mount Naejang."
2. KBS reports top male singers like Kim Tae-woo, ( formerly of g.o.d. ), Park Hyo-shin, Wheesung, and Hwan-hee (formerly of Fly to the Sky) will hold concerts this autumn. Ajumma's fantasy: to have front-row tickets to all their concerts.
Wait a sec: just being there to see them 'live' is fantasy enough.
3. It's Festival Season in Korea. Check out the list of festivals here. UPDATE ( 17 Sept 09): Apparently at least two international festivals have been cancelled because of the H1N1 scare. Don't tell me they're going to cancel concerts as well.
