Rimu Otter
★★★★★a year agoRimu travelled all the way from Ireland to Seoul. I visited the opening day of the Seoul International Garden Festival, and it was so special! There was a cute Metamong/Ditto garden, and Rimu got to meet Hechi! The park is spacious, flanked by Seoul’s tall modern apartments. It’s perfect for events, and great for kids! Rimu found a favourite park!
