Spring in Seoul feels like something out of a movie. The air is warmer, the streets are lined with cherry blossoms, and everything just feels a little more alive.

I spent one morning walking around Gyeongbokgung Palace, and the contrast between the traditional architecture and the soft pink blossoms was honestly beautiful. Later, I wandered through Bukchon Hanok Village, where the quiet alleys and old houses made it feel like time had slowed down.

Before all of this, I made sure to get a local SIM card from Chingu Mobile, and I’m really glad I did. It was affordable, quick to set up, and the data has been super reliable—perfect for maps, photos, and finding hidden cafés.

Speaking of food, I’ve been loving simple comfort dishes like Kimchi Jjigae and late-night Tteokbokki from street vendors. Something about eating warm, spicy food while the spring air is still a bit cool just hits differently.

If you’re thinking about visiting Korea in spring, I’d absolutely recommend it. And definitely sort out your SIM early—it makes everything smoother.
