South Korea is a wondrous north-Asian destination. Wedged between China, Russia and Japan, it is a fusion of the traditional and the modern that zoom along together in perfect harmony. Korea is a nation in a hurry and you will see this insatiable appetite for more at every turn. Locals jostle for position at the morning fish-market, race up craggy mountains before sunrise and work like trojans to keep Korea marching forward.
