Pullman Ambassador, Seoul, South Korea

It was hard to choose a location and hotel for our short stay in Seoul. We settled on something five stars within walking distance of Myeongdong. Our children – only 4 and 6 – had proven excellent walkers during our time in Beijing, so even being a 30 minute jaunt from our Korean BBQ dinner […]

I had the pleasure of teaching a class on new technologies for tourism and hospitality marketing, which meant an easy drive down in the morning, coffee in hand. On such a gorgeous early spring day, it was […]
