Well not me but my wife is going on a Scandanavian tour + Finland from Korea next week. Is there anything she should know about before going. I’ve been to Europe myself a few times but not the northern part and I’m just worried bout her even though it is relatively safe up there.
That said, anything she should know good or bad? local customs? warnings? tourist traps?

jtcxyusWhy do Koreans travel in big tour groups? I think it’s mainly for the older folks. They prefer it. Having all the schedule pre planned by someone else and not having to worry about small details (car, hotel).
Also, travelling overseas is still relatively new for the average Korean citizen. Interestingly enough, they weren’t allowed to travel internationally until 1988 because the president believed travelling to be a luxury too rich for a poor country. I believe he also didn’t allow daytime TV because his reasoning was that people should be busy doing things and not watching TV.

jtd16zhToday I learned South Korea was a dictatorship in 1988?! Did your president really personally decide on these kind of things? 😧

jtcyiwjIt’s comfortable if you don’t speak any relevant language and can’t even really read signs. It’s common for Europeans visiting China for example
