Worth every penny!

I had such a good time with JeeWoo! I was the only one on the tour, so I'm thankful it wasn't cancelled. JeeWoo was very personable and accommodating, chatting with me about my interests and sharing about her own life as well. We went to a bunch of different places that were fun and also shone a light on different aspects of Korean youngsters' culture and interests. The internet cafe was especially interesting! Thank you for such a memorable night :)
