Travel Bubble - Singapore & Korea

From Nov. 15, Korean citizens can travel to Singapore without having to complete a mandatory seven-day quarantine on their arrival as long as they are fully vaccinated at least 14 days before their departure.

Korea and Singapore agreed on Friday to such travel terms which is being deemed a Vaccinated Travel Lane, or more commonly known as a travel bubble. Singapore citizens will also be exempt from doing the mandatory 14-day quarantine when they travel to Korea.

Citizens of both countries that are vaccinated with shots approved by the World Health Organization are eligible. Travelers will need to carry their vaccine certificate, a negative Covid-19 test result — within 48 hours before departure time for Korean citizens and 72 hours for Singaporeans — and travel insurance. Travelers will be tested again once they land.

Since both countries stopped visa-waiver for entries since April last year, travelers also need to prepare any necessary visa or travel documents.

Korean Air, Asiana Airlines, and Singaporean Airline currently operate direct flights.

Less on the trees, more on the ground.

Seoul Forest was established to satisfy people’s desire to have more green space and recreational places in the center of the city. Historically, the forest was a favorite hunting ground for the royal family. It has undergone a variety of changes on the grounds of Ttukseom Island. The first water treatment plant in Seoul was once located here, and then the grounds were changed into a golf course and then a horse racetrack. It eventually was turned into a national family park, which opened in 2002. Stretching over 1.16 million m² of land, Seoul Forest consists of five parks: a Cultural Art Park, an Ecological Forest, a Nature Experience Study Field, Wetlands Ecological Field, and Hangang River Waterside Park.

Beautiful autumn leaves wet with rain in Hwadam Botanic Garden

Hwadam Botanic Garden is an eco-friendly arboretum located within Konjiam Resort in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do, a 40 min drive away from Seoul. In an effort to revive the country's forest ecosystem, LG Evergreen Foundation brought in approximately 4,300 types of exquisite and domestic plants to form a forest park divided into 17 themes. "Hwadam" can be translated into "friendly communication," a name given to the forest in hopes that the area serves as a means for people to communicate with nature. While the forest is designed to offer an environmentally friendly atmosphere, the ecosystem and habitats of the forest are well-preserved, serving as a home to many living species.

A giant wave has appeared on the LED façade of the city's SMTown COEX building, South Korea's biggest digital billboard. The anamorphic illusion rears up before crashing into the surface of the screen, making the two-dimensional wraparound display seem more like a large tank.
