On this trip, we will be visiting 4 Asian countries. Asia is the world’s largest and most diverse continent. The cities we will visit are rich in Food, culture, and History.  

South Korea, an East Asian nation on the southern half of the  Korean Peninsula, shares one of the world’s most heavily militarized  borders with North Korea. It’s equally known for its green, hilly  countryside dotted with cherry trees and centuries-old Buddhist temples,  plus its coastal fishing villages, sub-tropical islands and high-tech  cities such as Seoul, the capital.

Vietnam is a Southeast Asian country known for its beaches,  rivers, Buddhist pagodas and bustling cities. Hanoi, the capital, pays  homage to the nation’s iconic Communist-era leader, Ho Chi Minh, via a  huge marble mausoleum.
