Our driver, Brother Shen, was excellent. He unexpectedly provided a comfortable private car and explained Korean history to us. He took us to experience how Koreans chop mochi and let us taste a very different kind of ice cream. Most importantly, he took great photos of us. We were very satisfied and felt that we gained a lot from our short one-day trip.
