This year’s annual office retreat found VILAFers in the midst of Seoul’s spring season. VILAFers enjoyed a reprieve from the above 30-degree weather of sunny Saigon to Seoul’s cool 20-degree — even dropping to 11 degrees in the evening.

For 4 days, the group consisting of VILAFers and their families delighted on South Korea’s history, culture, modernity, and landscape.

The tour started with the group drinking up the beauty of the Cherry Blossoms at Yeouido Park, a trip to the Laver Seaweed Factory and enjoying the sights of Gwanghwamun Square, Cheonggyecheon Stream, Bokchon Hanok Village, Everland, and the Namsan Seoul Tower.
