Pulsating Cities and Majestic Mountains: the Soul of South Korea
With a pocketful of brass coins and a lunch box in hand, create your own tasting platter as you peruse street-food vendors selling everything from bibimbap to crispy jeon (fried and stuffed Korean pancakes). That’s how they do things at Tongin Market in Seoul. On this 10-day journey, you’ll also stop by Jagalchi Market (the largest seafood market in South Korea) in Busan, where you can pick out some fresh fish and have it cooked for you on the spot.

Riches and Ruins: Wine, Dine and Step Back in Time in Rural Georgia
For an authentic taste of everyday life in Tbilisi, a stroll through the Dezerter Bazaar is a must. Named after deserting soldiers who sold their weapons here during the war between Georgia and Russia in the 1920s, it has since flourished to become the primary fruit and vegetable market in the city – it’s a fascinating cross between an Asian bazaar and a European-style market. On this nine-day Georgia adventure, you’ll shop for ingredients before discovering the secrets of traditional Georgian cuisine in a cooking masterclass.
