Seoul Pop Cosmic Love

5Feb2010 Filed under: Honeymoon Venues, Travel & Sightseeing Author: Marbee

One often chooses honeymoon destinations based on what one deems exotic, dreamy, or perhaps just memorable. Choices usually revolve around landscapes couples want to capture with their senses and memories, irretrievably associating the place with the first voyage their married life brings. It is easy to soak in places so far removed from civilization that it almost seems as if the world was created for both of you, alone.

Honeymoon time is `you and me` only in this world. Just like the `Winter Sonata` couple here.

But on the other hand, a tour of the various melting pots of old-world culture and art can bring about a revival of your aesthetic sense, setting your newly bonded life together in context even as you embark on the journey back home.

Seoul, for many, may not be the first city that comes to mind but it manages to fulfill all honeymoon expectations, albeit in a way you will least expect.

Imagine walking hand in hand down this beautiful tree- lined pathway…

The city is bursting with activity, bombarding the senses with experiences unlike any other. A walk down the streets of Seoul produces a plethora of sensations: the sweet scent of cherry blossoms in April;

The uniquely designed store windows selling wares of all shapes and purposes; the delicate flavor of the elaborate cakes in the open displays of a pastry shop; the alternating textures of glass in the most high-tech skyscrapers you can find standing amid the wood and clay heritage houses that still survive in the city.

Exploring Seoul is like, pardon the pun, exploring a complete soul. It exists for the sensory aesthetes – perfect for couples who desire exoticism, harbor a love for culture, and feel a deep longing for an adventure that will set the pace of their married life.

Finding yourself in the heart of Seoul (again, pardon the pun), and then realizing that you’re now half of a whole with your spouse is an ineffable thrill in itself.

The spirit of Seoul is something that is hard to grasp, but is remarkable, once experienced. It is a place where you can lose your sense of self and, in the end, manage to find yourselves as part of each other.
