Seoul: Only in Seoul
by Helene Goupil

Seoul offers unique group activities that will make any trip to the South Korean capital unforgettable. Here are some activities for attendees to do together.

Jogyesa Temple
If guests have ever wondered what it’s like to stay in a Korean Buddhist temple, here’s their chance. The Jogye order offers a temple-stay program for foreigners. Visitors are shown temple manners, meditation, traditional temple food and a tea ceremony. www.visitseoul.net

Meditation Arui Seon
Set in a Korean traditional house, meditation teachers introduce groups to Korean meditation while drinking tea. www.seonshop.com

Taekwondo
After a day of meetings, attendees can get a workout at one of the many Taekwondo centers around the city. Geared toward foreigners, introductory courses are taught in English. Guests will learn basic moves—no spinning aerial whip kicks at first, we promise.
