Mum, mom, mother and momma are not nicknames I’ve been blessed to have at this time in my life and I’m in no rush to obtain one of the variations either, but for all the proud traveling parents out there searching for a good place to go with baby I present you with this guide from the Korean Tourism site. I’m sure an extensive amount of planning is needed to figure how you’ll be able to maneuver and keep your sanity for your return home and it looks like they’ve done a great deal of situation sorting for you. Transportation, shopping, restaurants, theme parks and special places to visit with children can all be found on their site. If you’re going to Korea or considering a vacation in Asia some place with your child or children this guide should hopefully answer some questions if not all. If Korea isn’t a destination of choice for you and your child at this time you may try scouring other tourism sites for similar info.

Korean is the only lang I’ve talked more about food than any other seen here. Don’t ask me how or why that is, but having a few food words tucked under your belt during your travels is very important and very wise if you ask me.

Earlier I mentioned the cool film festival to check out in Korea if you so happen to be around. For the few with little to no interest in foreign films all because of the language barrier, get over it and read the subtitles! There are so many incredible movies to watch beyond our Hollywood summer blockbusters.

Known for its incredible weather around this time of year it’s no wonder South Korea would play host to their spring-time, Hi Seoul Festival. Running from today until May 7, 2006, the event gives touring visitors the opportunity to explore the city and learn a tremendous amount about Korean culture through classic music performances, parades, and various other acts. Now would be a good time to go, but if you can’t make it due to the last minute heads up, perhaps it is time to prepare for travel next year.
