Introducing Wonju

Wonju is a relaxed, youthful city with a large Korean army base. Yonsei University has a campus here; its green lawns overlook a man-made pond and make for a relaxing place to stroll among students who generally jump at the chance to practice their English with a ‘real live’ foreigner. ‘A’, ‘B’ and (yes, you guessed it!) ‘C’ streets have a host of restaurants, hotels, motels and bars. The street market (open from 6am to 9pm) has an amazing variety of fruits and veggies. Local buses cost W950 and many of the stops are GPS-enabled, allowing you to know exactly when the next one will arrive.
