'Everyone was so friendly and helpful and very approachable...'

I've received this lovely email from the people who won the recent competition for a trip to the kimchi festival in Korea in October!

Hi Jennifer,

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Korea. It is such a friendly country and everywhere we went everyone could not do enough for us. We had not heard of Kimchi before our trip but found the festival fascinating. We had the chance to taste quite a few different types of Kimchi and I especially found it very tasty, my husband is more a plain food type so was not quite as adventurous as me. Elvis Han our tour guide also took us on a visit to see the autumn colours at the Mount Naejangsan National Park which was very beautiful.

We found Korea to be such a clean country compared to the UK with very little litter. The people also exceeded our expectations. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and very approachable. The majority of people we spoke to knew a little English and even if they didn't we seemed to manage fine. Although at times we were the only British people we always felt extremely safe even when wandering through the underground late at night.

Korea was never a destination I would have thought of visiting but we both will now recommend it to both family and friends.

We feel very privileged to have won this trip.

Yours
Lorraine
